The EZ Form Mailer Program**
This CGI script by 3rd Coast Technologies takes the data entered in an HTML form and sends it via e-mail to the specified location.
Before you begin configuring the form mailer, be sure that you have a form created and that all of the fields have been defined (i.e., each field has been assigned a name and attributes).
Step 1: Add the Required Fields
Make sure that your form contains the following two fields called "email" and "Name". The form is case-sensitive so make sure the spelling is identical to that specified below. You may change the size value as needed.
<input type="text" size="35" name="Name">
Step 2: Define the Form Action
Make sure that the action that you define for your form is referenced to the cgi program in "/cgi-bin/ezform.cgi".
Step 3: Insert Hidden Fields
Copy and paste the following hidden fields into your form. You will learn to configure them in the next steps. Download Fields
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Name of the Form">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.calstatela.edu/confirm.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="sort_type" value="field">
<input type="hidden" name="sort_fields" value="Field1,Field2,Field3,...">
Step 4: Read the Documentation
Make sure that you read and fully understand all of the enclosed documentation before you begin to configure the form.
Step 5: Configure the Hidden Fields
