Tried to post this yesterday but it appears that my news server at work
decided not to send it through for whatever reason. So I'll try from
Google. So I apologize if this becomes a re-post:
I've created a form for mailing back (via e-mail) to my company but
can't figure out what CGI codes are needed to make it do this. The
last time I created a form similar to this for another company I worked
for, the web hosting company did all this work after I'd created the
form.
The form is located at http://www.gingerinc.com/form.htm
I need to form to do three things:
(1) Be sure that person has marked all the * fields and return them
back to the form again (still filled out) until the missing area is
completed.
(2) When the person hits [SEND] after the form is complete and all
fields are marked, it needs to e-mail itself as an e-mail to our
company's address as a letter, not an attachment.
(3) When sender inputs his/her e-mail address into the field marked
[e-mail] this needs to become the "Reply To" address when opening the
e-mail letter using any e-mail client (Outlook, Outlook Express,
Thunderbird, etc.) as many different people have access to this account
at work and whomever downloads and opens it will have to reply to them.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! I tried to contact the web
hosting company but they're about brainless and only know partially
what to do inside of FrontPage 2K, their recommended HTML program. So
yes, I am forced to use FrontPage 2K :( 10 2511

The authoring of CGI scripts (except for what they output) is rather outside
the scope of this newsgroup. The specifics also depend a great deal on your
hosting company.

I'd consider this grounds for immediate transfer to a hosting company with a
clue.

Does the host support PHP?
I've already got a PHP script that does something very similar to this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

You should really switch hosts.

What hosting company is that? I recommend you switch, there are plenty
of cheap companies that do things properly. However, surely they
provide some kind of standard FTP access so that you can use whatever
program you like, don't they? Otherwise, how else does FP connect to
the server and upload the files?

Okay, I guess I can understand that point. I was under the assumption,
based on the web hosting company, that this was a simple process in FP2K
since they were making me do it rather than actually doing it themselves.
But like I said, the web hosting company I worked with previously did this
so I assumed it was their responsibility. So is this basically what you're
saying is that (1) It's not HTML but CGI and ... (2) CGI is the
responsibility of the web hosting company since they know what their system
can and cannot do?
I'm really in deep here and need soild advice where to turn. My company is
expecting this to work in a few weeks when I finish the last pages up in
between my other duties and CGI is way above and beyond what I know. As it
is I am struggling just to do the website. They "assume" that a graphic
designer can do this sort of thing as well ~shrugs~

I can ask them. But in the meantime is there a way to post this or
something for me so I can upload it to the form?

Well the hosting company is called tbbs.net and they don't seem very bright,
or very helpful. But I can't go changing things for the company so I'm sort
of between a rock and a hard place. As for FTP, they use FP2K for uploading
so obvious;y they do have the ability for transfers through that as well as
standard FTP access. But the company I work for only has FP2K and the web
server suggests using it. So again, I'm stuck.

How did I place my fingers on the keyboard after the cans exploded? Or
was I not holding the cans at the time? BTW, 5 lines for attribution is
a little too much, don't you think? ... how else does FP connect to the server and upload the files?

Then what broken protocol does FP use to connect, if it's not standard FTP?

I discussed CGI because you brought it up. You need some sort of CGI process
running on the server to handle it. This might be CGI, it might be
mod_perl, PHP, ASP, JSP and so on. It might even be FrontPage Extensions.
(2) CGI is the responsibility of the web hosting company since they know what their system can and cannot do?
It isn't up to them to install scripts for you, although many hosting
companies have a bundle of preinstalled scripts for their customers' use.
They should, however, tell you what services they provide and the basics of
how to use them. If CGI is supported this will typically be a minimum of
where scripts should live, what the path to perl is, what the paths to any
other interpretors (such as python) you might use are, and the path to
sendmail.

There are a number of places where you can get help with FrontPage forms;
here's a tutorial: http://www.webworkshop.org/frontpage...rial_email.htm it came up
first when I did a Google search for FrontPage forms: http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...rontpage+forms
There's also a FrontPage Forms Forum at the FrontPage Users Forum: http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/...ics.asp?FID=20 You can also
try the FrontPage newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ontpage.client
