Thanks alot

Sorry about that. At home I think I still have a CGI script to process forms. It's really simple but it's been so long since I did that. I could always send it to you?

Hi That link to the cgi thing didn't work, it kept failing when you pressed the download button. I've gone back to PHP here is a new script<?// $mailto - set to the email address you want the form// sent to, eg//$mailto = "youremailaddress@example.com" ;$mailto = 'owen@owenrimington.co.uk' ;// $subject - set to the Subject line of the email, eg//$subject = "Feedback Form" ;$subject = "ONK" ;// the pages to be displayed, eg//$formurl = "http://www.example.com/feedback.html" ;//$errorurl = "http://www.example.com/error.html" ;//$thankyouurl = "http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" ;$formurl = "http://www.madrugada-parties.co.uk/index.html" ;$errorurl = "http://www.madrugada-parties.co.uk/error.html" ;$thankyouurl = "http://www.madrugada-parties.co.uk/thankyou.html" ;$uself = 0;// -------------------- END OF CONFIGURABLE SECTION ---------------$headersep = (!isset( $uself ) || ($uself == 0)) ? "\r\n" : "\n" ;$name = $_GET['name'] ;$email = $_GET['email'] ;$comments = $_GET['comments'] ;$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );if (!isset($_GET['email'])) { header( "Location: $formurl" ); exit ;}if (empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($comments)) { header( "Location: $errorurl" ); exit ;}if ( ereg( "[\r\n]", $name ) || ereg( "[\r\n]", $email ) ) { header( "Location: $errorurl" ); exit ;}if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $comments = stripslashes( $comments );}$messageproper = "This message was sent from:\n" . "$http_referrer\n" . "------------------------------------------------------------\n" . "Name of sender: $name\n" . "Email of sender: $email\n" . "------------------------- COMMENTS -------------------------\n\n" . $comments .

Cheers Guys

You can use the GET method for any HTML form no matter what scripting language you use to process it. The data will get passed in the url.if you are using PHP you would get the data like this.Say one of your fields in the form is named 'firstname' the get method will send the data in the url like thisyourpage.php?firstname=somevalueThen in PHP the variable name would be $firstname instead of using $_POST['firstname']. PHP grabs querystring into varaibles for you names the same as in the url.

I don't think so... I've only used the get method with a cgi script.Weclome for the help

Cheers I'll have a look. Do you know if can use the 'get' method in this situation?

In the address bar it says it has gone to the php page.It says 405 method not allowed

HiThanks for the advice, i tried looking at CGI scripts last night from Matts script archive but i couldn't understand any of it. I've found a simple PHP script but it seems to be causing problems still.The html of the form goes like this:<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="sendmail.php"> <INPUT Name="email" type="text" value="Email address" size="30"/> <INPUT TYPE="submit" class="submitbutton" VALUE="Join the Onk" alt="subscribe to mailing list" /> </FORM>And the php - sendmail.php goes like this:<? $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; mail( "owen@owenrimington.co.uk", "Feedback Form Results", "From: $email" ); header( "Location: http://www.madrugada-parties.co.uk/new/index.html" ); ?>When i use the post method the browser says method not allowed and when i use the get method the browser says page cannot be found??????
