Hi
I noticed that Angelfire now has FP extensions however does anyone know if the 'FP form handling' works.
I can 'publish' my web site but have noticed the warning comes up on top of the forms.
Regards

Angelfire handles FP forms, but not emailing results.

Hi MysticNight
Thanks for your responce.
Yes the form results are being sent to a e-mail address. How do I retreave the results of the form if I am not able to forward them to an e-mail address?
Thanks for any help
Mike

Hi
I thought I would continue this discussion as it may help others on this matter. I decided to enter what I thought was the correct script to get the results e-mailed from the form. I replaced the FP form handling script in the HTML with...<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD=POST>

This script I understand informs the 'server?' that the results will be e-mailed.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="email_to" VALUE="username@somewhere.com">

This script tells the 'server?' which email address to send the results to. Where "username@somewhere.com" is my e-mail address.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="end_display" VALUE="http://www.YOURLINK.com">

This script tells the 'server?' which page to send the viewer to after clicking 'submit'.

Ok well things went well I 'published' the new form handling script to the angelfire server and proceded to fill in form and click submit and I was taken to the confirmation page ok, but the results did not turn up in my e-mail address. Hmmm I can only assume that the e-mail part of the script will not be processed by angelfire servers. I find that strange cause I got the script from them.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Lame answer, as I have not used Angelfire yet, why not post the results to a text file. The pain would be having to check the text file and there is the uncertainty of not knowing when it has been hit.

You have to have the results go to a .txt file. Angelfire doesn't support the email results part of form handling. If you want emailed results you're out of luck with Angelfire. They don't have cgi support, so that's why the script you got from them won't work.

Hi all

I thought someone may have picked up my error in the script I posted.
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD=POST>

Of course it should have read "form_handler_mail" not "form_handler_file"

Well the above script was indeed actioned by the Angelfire server and I received the e-mailed results from the web site so it would appear that FP forms on angelfire can indeed be actioned useing their scripts. One thing is the results take some time to come thru unlike a dedicated server that processes the form almost emediately.

So to get your FP e-mail results 'form' working on angelfire simply replace the FP 'form' handling script with the angelfire script and 'Bobs your Uncle' trust me I am a script dummy but this was well explained by angelfire script information.

Best Regards
Mike
