Any Love with CGI Script and forms

I'm fucking going crazy with this. Any skilled or non skilled web masters have any love. At this point I'd do just about anything. (Don't read that part Supa)

I'm having problems with the code for the cig bin. I have the form completed but the cgi code is giving me a headace.

Are you using FormMail? If so, you have to follow the instructions at http://www.scriptarchive....mmail.html to a tee. When setting the referrers and recipients, try using both your domain and the ip address of your site. Also, make sure you set the permissions of the CGI file (also known as CHMOD).

Also, don't forget to add the additional code to the form itself. Do you have the "Action" of the form tags pointing to the CGI script? Did you add the line to the form markup for recipients?

You should also check with your web host, they may offer to install scripts like formmail for free. I use Fatcow.com, and in their control panel, they have an automated feature that will install formmail for you.

Thanks for the heads up, Good information here! I don't have the opportunity to have a install so I'm going to keep going with what I have but I'll look into every area you mentioned which should solve my problem. THANKS!
