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
