Welcome to the family. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />The PHP or CGI is just the backend to process you form. You still need to create a form. Using any of the email scripts whether they be PHP or CGI would work.<br /><br />You could even write your own form handlers in Perl to handle just one form. All the scripts on my companies site serve only one form.<!--content-->
Thank you very kind...<br /><br />I guess I wanted to stay away from .php because I have the page designed in HTML and I didnt want to use a .php ext since the page is already created. I will take a try at it though and let you know how it worked.<!--content-->
You call your script to process using an action. The page can be HTML, HTM, PHP what ever.<br /><br />When you create the form in your page the declaration looks like this:<br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec--><form ACTION="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/yourscript.pl" METHOD="POST"><br />...<br />your input fields<br />...<br /></form><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />The above example is using a Perl script. It could have been .cgi or .php just as easily.<!--content-->
Yes only the form script is in php <br />and your page with the form on it can still be in html<br /><br />The one I linked to scans for all the form vars just like cgi<br />so you just call it in the action statement.<!--content-->
