Have you come up with any code on your own? I'm not totally thrilled about writing code that I"m not getting paid for. But here are a couple things that will help you along your way:

http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.10/CGI.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~yves/MIME-Li...b/MIME/Lite.pm
http://www.codingforum.net/showpost....23&postcount=5

(thanks Fishmonger, I stole the first two from a previous thread

)

There are also several threads on this forum already about the subject. Let us know what you come up with. (If you want someone to write it for you www.rentacoder.com I think is a good address)

Edit: It seems I mis-understood what you were saying as well. What I was looking for at the time was examples of what you are using currently etc. I figured you wanted us to write it for you. My fault.

eXe ...

Here is a place where you can host for free w/Perl (cgi-bin), PHP.

"Free" means that it's free, but every page has a fixed ad banner at the top.

http://www.netfirms.com/web-hosting-free

----------------

You need to know how to do these things:

1) Use an FTP program to upload your scripts into your cgi-bin directory.
2) How to set script permissions using the FTP program (CHMOD).

Netfirms has a help section on using FTP, your cgi-bin, etc.

----------------

Once you get that set up, run this script to see if it works. It's a simple
"Hello World" script that tests the function of your cgi-bin.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my $query = new CGI;
my $date = localtime();

print $query->header();

print "
<html>
 <head> 
   <title>The Famous Hello World Example ;-)</title>
 </head>
 <body bgcolor=\"\#fffcc9\">
 <h1>The Famous Hello World Example </h1>
 <p> The date is $date </p>
<hr  noshade=\"noshade\";>
</body>
</html>
";

If you can get that script to run without any errors in loading, CHMOD, etc.
let us know ... we can't help you unless you can do this basic task.

Google is your best method to get help: Search for "Perl tutorial".

EDIT: eXe ... this is not a chatroom. You can type using full English
words and sentences. I'm having a hard time reading your posts. I'm
44 years old and can't read chatroom slang.

**FishMonger** · Aug 1, 2005, 02:43 PM

The NMS FormMail script is an excellent script but overkill for what you need, especially considering that you are a beginner. I wouldn’t even consider using the BizMail script; not only is it overkill but it’s NOT written very well.

In your case, I’d start out with something very simple and once you build up a little more knowledge and require the need, you can switch over to the NMS FormMail script. Aradon provided you with good info that shows you how to do this, so you should look at those links.

Edit:
mlseim's example is a good starting point.

I don't think that is chatroom slang. I think the poster has a native language other than English. Any slang in there was probably derived from online conversations with an English speaking person.

**eXe** · Aug 2, 2005, 12:07 PM

thnx my bro mlseim
1st of all for people who say that am not english,yeah am not english person

so my bro mlseim,i have already two accounts over netfirms

or what to do with it?
u got what i need from the form i want to make?

**eXe** · Aug 2, 2005, 12:32 PM

by the way i have these two FTP programs to upload and i know how to CHMOD,1st program is : cuteftppro 2nd program is : WSFTP_ProT40_Install

so i wish you can tell me how,i will tell you gain what i want the cgi script to do:

i want to put the cgi script in my form html coding like :
<form method=POST action="http://xxx.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/mailform.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="CMD" value="CMDSubmitFormElement">
<input type="hidden" name="FORM_SUBMIT_EMAIL_submit" value="[email protected]">

when he/she press over Submit Command directly the script send me e-mail to my x email inbox with the data,and the script dnt post the data on another page and let the visitor see it,it can direct it to any other page

i were using this coding

<FORM method=post action="http://hotmail.homestead.com/~site/Scripts_ElementMailer/ElementMailer.dll" target=_top>
<input type="hidden" name="CMD" value="CMDSubmitFormElement">
<input type="hidden" name="FORM_SUBMIT_EMAIL_submit" value="[email protected]">

but there is an error in the server of the website the script found over it

now i think the idea is very clear
thanks again in helping me mlseim and every one wana help

**eXe** · Aug 2, 2005, 01:41 PM

mlseim i've just test the small example u gave me and it wrok

so whats the other step?

by the way,i can creat any html page within the two print tags?
after the print $query->header();

print "
(i mean here)

and it must be on the same page the server is

but if i want to creat one and put it on another website,so can i? and what is the different in the coding?

**joeframbach** · Aug 2, 2005, 01:45 PM

eXe,
This thread may be able to help you. In particular, Fishmonger's post (the fourth one down the page). Again, read the cpan documentation regarding the mail modules.

Best of luck!

**mlseim** · Aug 2, 2005, 03:49 PM

eXe,

That test script was just to let us know you have your cgi-bin
working correctly. You don't need that script anymore, unless you
want to play around with it. ... and yes, you can make it display
any HTML that you want. A good way to learn about simple dynamic
HTML generation.

The Perl script opens the browser with it's own HTML ... it is not on
a webpage, just displays on the browser.

-----------------

I didn't understand the part about "mailform.cgi".

Did you say it is working OK on Netfirms?

... or ... it is failing?

**FishMonger** · Aug 2, 2005, 08:53 PM

A more condensed version of the "Hello World" script.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

my $q = new CGI;

print $q->header,                                # create the HTTP header
       $q->start_html('hello world'),             # start the HTML
       $q->h1('Hello World!'),                     # level 1 header
       $q->h2('It is now: '. scalar localtime);   # date & time w/ level 2 header
       $q->end_html;                               # end the HTML

**FishMonger** · Aug 2, 2005, 10:09 PM

Here's another short example that creates a simple form that is submitted to itself for processing and sending the email. It should include returning a confirmation to the user once submited but I'll leave that up to you work out.

Code:

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use MIME::lite;

my $q = new CGI;
my %form = $q->Vars;

print $q->header, $q->start_html('Who are you');

# This is a self refering form/script
# meaning, it's submitted to itself
print $q->start_form,
      'Sex: ', $q->radio_group(-name=>'sex', -values=>['Male','Female']), $q->p,
      'First Name: ', $q->textfield('firstname', '', 15, 25), q->br,
      'Last Name: ', $q->textfield('lastname', '', 15, 25), '<p>',
      $q->submit('form','SUBMIT'),
      $q->end_form,
      $q->end_html;


if ($form{'firstname'} || $form{'lastname'}) {
   my $message = "First Name: $form{'firstname'}<br>\n".
              "Last Name: $form{'lastname'}<br>\n".
              "Sex:  $form{'sex'}";
              
   my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
             From     => '[email protected]',
             To       => '[email protected]',
             Subject  => 'Form Submission',
             Data     => $message
            );
   $msg->send;
}
