Formmail Features:

To use Formmail, you need to create a form on one of your web pages.

The form action line should be

<FORM ACTION = "/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" METHOD = "POST"> 

formmail.pl will do all the programming work for you. You alter the behavior of formmail by using hidden fields in your form.

There is only one form field that you must have in your form for FormMail to work correctly. This is the recipient field. 

Field: recipient 

Description: This form field allows you to specify to whom you wish for your form results to be mailed. Most likely you will want to configure this option as a hidden form field with a value equal to that of your e-mail address. 

When using a CGI script to pull information from a form which has been submitted by a browser you must have the first line of the script have this command on it (Much like perl scripts):

#!/usr/local/bin/php
