I have my own server running 2003 web edition. I have a webpage that has a form on it. I would like to set it up so I can have the submit button send the form to the server. It is set up now to work through email. But as you know if someone does not have email set up it won’t work for them. I need some help in this matter. What do I need to get it going? I know I need a script on the server and something for the page but that’s all I know. I’m not very smart when it comes to this but I have made it this far. Please lend a hand. Thanks Rick

You are going to have to decide what sort of script language you want to use, some possibilities are (but are not limited to)

Server Side Javascript (but I really wouldn't recomend it)
PHP
Perl
ASP
Ruby
Writing an actual CGI program

re: Need Help With Form Submit


Are any one of the scripts installed in windows already? And no java, I see some people have java turned off that come to my site.

I would like to pick the one that is easy to install and use. But I have no clue about any one of them. If you know what one would work best for me then Ill go with it.

Thanks for the help with this, hope you will add more

Java is not Javascript. People sometimes turn javascript off though that's not a problem as it once was.

I would add Python to that language list.

If you have PHP installed, you can get complete scripts ready to go from php.resourceindex.com
