Sending Form Results via Email -

When someone fills out your form, the input that person enters must be handled by script which will take the data, arrange it and out put it to either a file or send it via email. In order to receive the results of a submitted form via email, the form must process the data thru a cgi-script or otherwise in order to format the data and access a SMTP server which to mail out the results. We have a Perl script setup for this purpose which is available to our websites which do not utilize Microsoft FrontPageŽ. FrontPage98 and 2000 already has this handler built into it, and is configurable by right-clicking on your form and choosing "Form Properties".

For websites which are on our standard FTP websites, you can have your results sent via email to your email account by editing your form tags to match the following:

<form action="http://web2.advintsol.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="example@example.com">

Where "example@example.com" is your email address.

There are other options available for configuring the results of the form available at the following address: FormMail Options.

NOTE: You must email a request to: support@advintsol.com and let us know that you will be using the FormMail script on our server so that support can add your site to block of addresses which are allowed to use the script. The script will not function if you are not included in this block of addresses.
