CGI
EMail is a simple, easy-to-use script that takes the results of
any form and sends them to you via e-mail. Because it is already
installed, minimal configuration is required to successfully use
the script.
The
following steps provide quick summarized instructions for CGI EMail.
Be sure to read the CGI
user guide for detailed instructions on using CGI EMail.
To
configure CGI EMail:
-
Create
an HTML form with a number of named input fields. Refer to this
page for more detailed information of the action component
of the form.
-
Create
an e-mail template (a .txt file) that displays the format in
which you want your form information displayed in the e-mail.
Make sure all your form name codes are one word and in square
brackets [].
-
Upload
the .txt and form files to your site.
-
Go
to your cgi-bin directory and change the file
permissions on cgiecho and cgie-mail to 755.
-
Test
the script. The cgiecho script is designed for testing online,
so you do not have to wait for e-mail to be sent or received.
