newbie question about PHP and CGI
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2003 10:01 am
Hi,
Our website is hosted at an external ISP. I am unaware as to how I can accomplish the following and am hoping you can help.
The ISP uses a Formmail.pl script in order to email forms. My user requirements indicate that in addition to an email being sent, I also need to store the form fields in a MYSQL Database. I have been successful in writing to the database but am not sure how to incorporate this emailing action in the existing php script. Prior to adding the mysql component, we only had ACTION="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" in the form tag.
Is this even possible?
Thanks,
