Hi - I have inadvertently chosen a hosting package that does not have a
pre-scripted form handler CGI (doh) available. Can anyone recommend any (fre
e?)
downloads that will handle a very simple contact info. form for us. I am not
really a techie and need something that can be easily intergrated into my
latest site with minimal scripting knowledge. Link for form is available
http://foreverfurniture.co.uk/contact.htm if that makes any difference to yo
ur
recommendation.

Thanks in advance

If you're on Unix/Linux, then a PHP script would work (I wrote an article
about it, not technically edited but should be fairly straightforward). It
includes an "editable" PHP file with code:

Just to add to this, I've just had an email message from our host company
warning that sites that fall prey to "Email Header Injection" spamming attac
ks
via unsecure contact form scripts may have their accounts terminated, which
would be pretty disasterous!

Consquently I'd like to know of some good form handlers (PHP) that are secur
e
against "Email Header Injection". There are some details about it here -

P. Jay,

Your inquiry is more likely to attract the attention of someone
competent to answer it is you post in a new thread rather than hijacking
this one--prefereably with an informative subject line, such as "PHP
form injection" or something like that.

Sorry, I wasn't intending to 'hijack' the thread, rather as with the origina
l
poster I'm interested in finding a good form handler but with the proviso th
at
it's secure. I felt that it might be useful also to add this concern to the
current talk about form handlers.
