Mail and Cgi...

[musoc]

Hey guys... my name's Tom and I'm a newbie to the forum, but have been working on a community-based page in Australia, Sydney for many months now. It's at http://musoc.exofire.net

I am wondering if any of you can please help me with our formmail cgi issue. It has been working fine with www.thalasson.com --> an up-till-recently free service with formmail.cgi free usage. But now I am with x10hosting/exofire apparently we can use some kind of cgimail. If this is possible can someone PLEASE PLEASE tell me what it is that we need to put in the;

ACTION and ENCODE TYPE fields?

Also if we are able to do this through our service, can you please help me figure out what the command is to direct the email to my address... is it 'emailto', 'mailto' or 'sendto' please? also, is the command for the next page (after clicking submit) 'nextpage' or 'goto'?

Thanks so much for your help everyone, and please help me as soon as you can...

We are desperate and I am really worried about our service slipping in the community because our forms are out of action.... Thanks so much for your help (in advance, if I may say) and .... anyway, I will stop typing too much now.... thanks guys!

Tom...

why nog PHP its a lot easier, the mail get sended directly and if you search for it you get a lot of scripts.
thats a lot easier because x10hosting does support PHP

Yeah I know... I don't have the time to build some nice session cookies with a simple one password entry... The one's online are a bit tricky and annoying... If you could help me I'd be MOST appreciative Brandon? Sorry to ask... I feel bad, but I am just struggling with it all...

Jah, the Php stuff is currently underway... but needs some serious work... If you could also please help Brandon (god I feel stupid an annoying - I'm really sorry) that would be so gracious and kind of you.... thanks a mill for the offer and I look forward to hearing fro you... if you can stomach it?

Thanks!

Tom...

(P.S. You'll notice the php has old links in it from a recent trial in a different page - thanks I did notice that )

Hey Brandon... thanks for the offer.... I have spent ages on it and got it out. It was working BEAUTIFULLY until yesterday... all four of my scripts.... and then today? poooof! Completely dead? Can you please help me anyone? No php forms are going through?

Thanks for the help and sorry to bug you but I'm just desperate... I'm almost %100 sure my forms are perfectly fine...

Thanks...

Tom...

(If you'd like my php forms for something please let me know - they're not actually mine and are mostly free online ones with serious adaptation (like emails to person saying thanks and emails to me giving feedback or whatever)...

 

[musoc]

sorry... I didn't realise EXIM was PHP Mail send stuff, and I just noticed EXIM is down and that's all that's wrong...

Thanks all,

Tom...

Thanks blong

I know it's a little late now, but if you haven't deleted it may I still see (or possibly use) it? Would love to see what you came out with. Undoubtedly a lot cleaner than what I got haha... (partly borrowed from phpwizard and then changed from a small feedback form to something a lot bigger!!!)

Thanks so much for your time!

By the way everyone... exim is STILL down???

Almost a week of seriously intermittent http and ftp and exim now and I am starting to worry --- my sites traffic has plummeted from what it should have been before...

Is there anything we can do about it or will I have to move to a free reliable service like the account I started today with "Freehostia"?

Sorry to say this, but I just am very threatened at the moment with my webpage being don/disfunctional all the time for a whole week!?

Best wishes to you all at x10 and please help - or let me know if we're doing something about these problems?

Best regards,
Tom...
