FORM Handling


CSD does provide a perl script that any of our users may use to handle the output from your form on your world wide web page; it is called sndmail.pl.

This script is a basic handler that will take the NAME items from your form, format them and send them as an email to the recipient you designate.

To use this perl script, you must call it from the ACTION statement of your form; use the following information between the quotes after the word "ACTION" below:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/sndmail.pl?your@emailaddress.com">

Note the "your@emailaddress.com" - this will be the recipient of the output of the FORM. Change this to the email address you want to receive the email from the form.

You may also customize the following parameters:

  • From Email Address
  • From Name
  • Subject of the email
  • Return page
    From Email Address
    Name Entry: from-email

    This parameter, once filled in, will allow the email output of the form to be addressed so that the recipient may respond immediately to it, as if it were an actual email from the web user.

    HTML Example:

    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="from-email">
    From Name
    Name Entry: from-name

    Use this parameter to set the Name of the email address, so that, instead of the email being anonymous, it would look like the web user acutally sent you an email.

    HTML Example:

    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="from-name">
    Subject of the email
    Name Entry: subject

    You may also allow the Subject of the email to be set.

    HTML Example:

    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="subject">
    Return Page
    Name Entry: next-url

    If you wish to have the web users go to a page of your design instead of the the default, you may use this parameter to set that page. You will need to set the VALUE of the form element to the URL you specify (The URL syntax is the same as for a "normal" link)

    HTML Example:

    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="next-url" VALUE="http://www.csd.net/~yourid/yourpage.html">
