Ok, so maybe I'm not desperate, but I am in need of help.
I'm not a programmer. Just a busy, self-taught web designer with a dozen other jobs.
Recently I moved my domain from Concentric to Ipowerweb. Everything has worked quite well except that Concentric had a "library" of cgi scripts available for my use, and Ipowerweb expects me to provide my own scripts.
So far I've been successful locating and installing scripts to randomize my introductory photo, and another script to randomize music which opens the page. (You can see them in action at
But I have been unsuccessful locating a copy of a script I really need: form2file.
Form2file was one of the scripts which Concentric provided. With it, I was able to set-up a form on my website where workshop leaders could "register" classes they were willing to instruct at a music festival (where I'm the workshop coordinator). I still have the "html form" but obviously no form2file script to run it.
It was pretty straight-forward, and I've seen references to that script lots of places, but I can't find a copy of it. I'm pretty sure it's a cgi standard.
It allowed the individual who was registering to fill in the form, then the output was written to a txt file which was embedded in a html document. Once submitted, the individual was taken to the page that showed all of the classes with his as the most recent addition. Since each addition was added on, the workshop instructors could see the classes offered by those who had registered before them. They could "proof" their own copy, and stay abreast of the classes being offered.
Has anyone seen the script I am talking about on any of the perl or cgi script sites? I've looked high and low but without success. Yes, I can find similar scripts, but this one was "perfect"!! and it would be so nice if I could just set up the script on Ipowerweb. I already have the form prepared from previous years and my instructors are used to working with it.
Again, it is called form2file.
