formmail.cgi scripts - alternatives? Come hither and tell a cgi novice about them

[Wotz]

please stay and share before I am bald!

Server and docs all set up but need help with html code for sending and receiving the form to and from the server and cgi-bin so request come back via email to me.

I have read that formMail. cgi scripts are rubbish due to hackers and spammers.

This is a temp in-between website 'cause old website was old tech lasso knowledge and new one is being done by someone else- but I can't get all the content to them fast enough....so this is just simple html which I thought I could do but I am out of practice.

I want to submit form and then get an email repsonse and a thank you web page to pop up for them. Ta dar .....

sounds simple - should be simple, I can't do simple

I have been told it hasn't got to sit in the cgi-bin

just in the normal directory in www with the index file etc...

I am rambling

Its half term coming up I can't still be doing it then!

I see a light at the end of the long coded tunnel

thank you - I will go and read it

I am still reading it, god my brain can't deal with this at my age..I'm 43 this year I should be reading knitting patterns not fecking code! I won't give up though, I will do it.

FWIW you have rather lovely collection of shoes. I do admire that.

See how easily side tracked I get when reading about code, scripts and programming.

I have downloaded the tfmail and I am RTFM and all I can think about is shoes.

Its all quite old nothing written in 2007 most in 2003-2005, is it all the latest stuff?

bit like me then - thanks, I will plod on
