CGI - What it is and how to do it.
 
 

 

Ability to create and use feedback and order forms on the web
•By using Getsite CGI, you can avoid the need to hire a programmer to write the CGIs.

This is how you do it...

  • Create a web form, using one of your favorite HTML editors.
  • Add the following lines into your form as they are:
    Note: Replace the red line with your email address and your domain name.
    <form action="http://www.
    YourDomain.com/cgi-bin/form.cgi" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="Owner_email"
    value="YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS@Your_Domain.Com">
  • Use "User_name" for the NAME of the client filling the form 
  • Use "User_email" for the EMAIL ADDRESS of the client filling the form.
  • Optional things to add to your form.
  •  <input type="hidden" name="Form_subject"="PUT Your subject
    here
    ">
  •  <input type="hidden"
    name="RefreshHTML=http://www.Your_Domain.Com/thankyou.htm">

    Note: Thankyou.htm (or any name file you want) is an html file that will display once the form  has been submitted.
