Please help…

I need to create a form within front page. About 5-6 entry boxes.

In order for the end user to be able to complete it (once on the web) I’m told I have to create a CGI file.

Is this correct. I would like the form totally independant on the web.

Please help…

Thanks

J

…to my knowledge, php or cgi forms are needed to send mail. correct me if im wrong, cause I don’t do forms and stuff in fp. but, if you dont want to code or anything, there are many different form processors out there, that are remotely hosted. search google, or the ones i know off the top of my head are… [response-o-matic.com](http://response-o-matic.com) , [bravenet.com](http://bravenet.com) and [hostedscripts.com](http://hostedscripts.com). most can then redirect to a thank you page.

hope that was a help

Hi guys…

Just wondering.

I only want a small form (2 - 3 boxes).

Would PHP be a better method?

If so, how do I go about it?

Thanks in advance

Joey

with the link that i gave you, you can cut down on the number of the boxes, you need to edit the code, they have directions on that web page
