Form help.

[jerrelle]

Hello all. I am a basic web designer. I deal with primarily html, java script and css. the only php coding i deal with is editting the FormMail.pl files. Currently this is where I am having major issues.

 

I have put up plenty of forms before but right now I am having the worst time ever to get it to work. Please review and see what I am missing:

 

 

FormMail.cgi file:

 

BEGIN

{

  $DEBUGGING        = 1;

  $emulate_matts_code= 0;

  $secure            = 1;

  $allow_empty_ref  = 1;

  $max_recipients    = 5;

  $mailprog          = '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -t';

  $postmaster        = '[email protected]';

  @referers          = qw(dave.org.uk 209.207.222.64 watchdogonwallstreet.com);

  @allow_mail_to    = qw('[email protected]');

  @recipients        = ();

  %recipient_alias  = ();

  @valid_ENV        = qw(REMOTE_HOST REMOTE_ADDR REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT);

  $locale            = '';

  $charset          = 'iso-8859-1';

  $date_fmt          = '%A, %B %d, %Y at %H:%M:%S';

  $style            = '0';

  $no_content        = 0;

  $double_spacing    = 1;

  $wrap_text        = 0;

  $wrap_style        = 1;

  $address_style    = 0;

  $send_confirmation_mail = 0;

  $confirmation_text = <<'END_OF_CONFIRMATION';

From: [email protected]

Subject: form submission

 

Thank you for your form submission.

 

END_OF_CONFIRMATION

This isn't PHP i'm afraid. You're looking for a Perl forum!

 

I'll move this over to the "Other Programming Languages" section -- you  might get a reply there.

is there an easier way to create a form using php? I'm at my wits end and I have a 4 hour deadline right now. any help would be appreciated...
