Ultratron Hint - Formmail

Adding a form to your page which sends it's results to you via email:

We have installed Matt Wright's Formmail script to our servers. The full documentation for this formmail script, along with all its options, can be found at http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml

Here's a quick-start to get your form up and running:
1. Add a form in your HTML file which has an "action" which points to this script as follows:
<FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://www.ultratron.net/cgi-bin/uformmail.cgi">

2. Add a line in your HTML file inside the <form></form> tags similar to this:
<input type=hidden name="recipient" value="email@your.host.com">
* Note: you must replace email@your.host.com with your own email address.

3. When someone visits your page, and fills out the form, you should receive email with the information they filled out on your form.

Below is an example of an HTML page containing a form using formmail. This form uses some of the options available with formmail, and shows the use of text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, and pull down options.
