CGI EMail
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.
