Hi,
I have a registration form on my site where visitors can register for a conference. I would like to program the form so that when someone signs up, they automatically receive an email in their inbox thanking them for their registration and telling them that they will be contacted shortly...

Right now I am using a simple form mail script provided by the hosting company. My hosting company says that I have to continue using their script as it will be most efficient etc. So I was wondering if there is any code that I can simply add to my existing script to activate the return email?

Here is the script:
<form name=&quot;Contact&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;/cgi-bin/formmail&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;recipient&quot; value=&quot;info@torahinmotion.org&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;redirect&quot; value=&quot;
Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,

Your webhost is using FomrMail 1.9, with this you will not be able to send an acknowledgement mail, you could download wFormMail and install that, it is based on FormMail 1.92 and will give you the functionality you require. Additionally you would be able to send attachments with the mail, something like a schedule and a map maybe?

You can get it from
Hope this helps
Kind Regards, Paul Benn

This is exactly what I want it to do!But I'm so lost... I never set up formmail on my own b/4 so I downloaded all the files and I just can't make heads or tails of the instructions. It says to set up script as laid out in the main Form mail Read Me file... I can't seem to find that... Any suggestions? (I don't know what files to upload, what to write in my page etc.

This is really what I need though so I hope i can figure it out somehow.
