Submitting Forms

[reviews]

Well, I have read helps, live support said there were sample scripts in hpptdocs etc but I am still stuck. Perhaps my brain is now mashed.
Using dreamweaver I have designed my form. I know the "action" has to be set to a script in the cgi folder to recieve and send the form info. BUT...thats as far as I have got. To get round it I am using a 3rd part (responseomatic) but I really want to be able to control it myself. Can anybody assist, even if it just a link to a good tutorial.
Thanks

PS I THINK I HAVE POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM Sorry

David,
Looking at the httpdocs, I think you are hosted on a Plesk control panel server, ie: windows shared server, I've moved the thread across to the right place
Being on Windows, there's no need of using the sendmail function, but you can use certain .cgi or .pl scripts to send emails through PHP, or best way use the PHP's inbuilt mail(). What you'd need to do is to upload the .cgi or .pl files into the cgi-bin folder parallel to httpdocs & call them from your PHP scripts.
A sample script is copied into your website: http://xxxx/php-mail-test.php please change the 'from' & 'to' address within it to yours.
You'd find few useful ones HERE & HERE. Let me know if you need any further info..

Brilliant succint answer. Had it running within seconds of getting the sample script.
Can't understand why it cant be explained like that elsewhere!
