I'm trying to activate the form on my website. I did use an external formmail link -
http://www.iofm.net/formmail.cgi…
And all the info filled out in the forms via my site, were being sent to my email. I think this link is down now.
Does anyone know any other external links I can use?
I do have a cgibin folder on my site, but I'm not sure how to activate it...? That's why I used an external formmail if that makes sense.
I am unfamiliar with these terms.
Please help. I would be very greatful, cheers.

anyone? I've download a file called formmail.cgi... is this just a case of placing this file into my cgi-bin?

A word of advice. Delete formmail from your server now. You will be spammed and hacked.
I'll get back to you with a better soloution.

Do you have PHP on your site?

No. It's mainly html pages. I would like to do php but I'm still quite basic at my web experience

But can you serve PHP pages?

CGI is not safe.
You need to use a server side language such as ASP or PHP to process your form data.HTML can't do it on it's own.

I'm not sure. I think I can. Lets try it. I've got the webpage, in html. What should I do. I've been working in dreamweaver.
Do I open a new .PHP page in Dreamweaver... and transfer all my info?
