Hello,

I have started to work on a message board.  
Is there a way to make one without a CGI file?  
I have a script that will send e-mail to a user. I wonder if I could take a regular e–mail script and tweak it so it would send information to a page not e-mail? This will take some time:smirk:

Thanks,

Billy

no the script to e-mail is completely different that saving to a file. CGI is out dated. Upgrade to PHP.
