Does bizhat support cgi-bin and perl scripts?

I also need to know if anyone knows how to get a submit button to work?
I want the form emailed to my yahoo email address.
If anyone has the scripts and files to get this to work it would be of great help

Thanks
Ducane

I don't think they support cgi-bin here
But if you want very simple html code try this

Code:

<FORM action="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject of email" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">



What is your name? <INPUT type="text" name="submit-name">

What files are you sending? <INPUT type="file" name="files">

<INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> <INPUT type="reset">
</FORM>

Is that what you want !!!

Or try this:
<form name="form2" method="post" action="mailto:[email protected]">

Comments/feedback

<textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="8"></textarea>

Please provide your Email for us when you need us to contact you back

<input name="email" type="text">

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset">
</form>

That could do. But, you have to bear in mind that the action="mailto:[email protected]" will use the visitor's default email client to send the mail. So if they use for example Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird (to name a few), the email will be stored in their Outgoing Folder and be sent whenever they Send emails with this programs.
However, if they don't use any kind of email client, and they just use web based email like Gmail (Exception: if they installed the Gmail Notifier and configured it as the default email client) or Yahoo, your mail will be stored forever in the visitor's Outlook Express Outgoing Folder and never be sent to you.
So you should probably use a script in PHP. See the PHP manual for the function mail()

Yes that's right ! it always need email client to be submit and that's simple script for Duncane since he doesn't have php enable on his account yet..! and the php script that you put the link is just the best one...

Thanks..!
