php forms
in PHP Coding Help
Posted
I am trying to test a form on my web space. I have asked the isp about php forms and they said
"PHP scripts should be treated as cgis, therefore you should make them executable as you would a perl or shell script. Failure to do this willprobably result in the display of an 'internal server error'
We recommend permissions of 705."
Question 1. How do I make a php form executable and how do I set the permissions.
Question 2. Do I need to save the php form as a cgi?
Question 3. How can I get the below form to send an email to the person who fills out the form and a email to me also?
