Advanced - Forms

How to setup an online form.

Online contact forms are required for collecting visitor information online.

System CGI Form

Advanced Plans come with a system cgi form script pre-installed.

This form is safe and secure and there are no critical security threats that prevent this script from being used.

Contact Form

To create this example form on your Advanced Hosting Plan, cut and paste the following code into your html document ...

<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.change-domain.com/cgi-sys/PROTECTED-FormMail.cgi">
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="you@change-domain.com">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Email Subject Header">
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.change-domain.com/redirectpage.htm">
<table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td width="100">Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" size="30"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="100">Tel</td>
<td><input type="text" name="phone" size="30"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="100">Email</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" size="30"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="100">Comments</td>
<td><textarea name="textarea" wrap="VIRTUAL" cols="30" rows="3"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td width="100"> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

You will need to replace the bold variables with your own settings, then upload the page to your website and test it.

Quick Test

The path to the script is ...
http://www.change-domain.com/cgi-sys/PROTECTED-FormMail.cgi

To test you have the correct path, replace 'change-domain.com' with your own domain and insert it into your browser, you will see a standard script page confirming you have the correct path.

PHP Form

If you are looking for something a little more advanced, download a copy of the php form script. This offers additional tools and security features such as ...

- writing results to a mysql database
- automating the sending of file attachments
- captcha human verification option
- secure 'non public_html' script placement
- and much more
