Mailing Form Question...

[PaulChilds]

Hi I have a form for people to fill in to join our mailing list (at

http://www.liverpooldream.co.uk

- go to 'Contact Us' and the click on 'Join mailing list').

However, when it is sent back to me, the email message shows 'targetpage' and 'mailuser' and I don't want them to show up on the email.

Any ideas.

Cheers.

not a good idea not to have a valkidation script on your forms

these fields are being passed and that is why yopu are seeing them
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;hidden&quot; NAME=&quot;targetpage&quot; value=&quot;

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;hidden&quot; NAME=&quot;mailuser&quot; value=&quot;paul&quot;>

if you don't want them to be take them out, I'm sure they have a purpose but you can get around that obviously with a location.href on the targetpage field being a redirect aparently.

I would revert to the mailform.cgi taht you are using and see the impostance of these fields in the script A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

The code I have used at either end of the form is the recommended code by my ISP. I don't have access to my own CGI bin, so have to use their code, so I can't really change it too much.

I need targetpage and mailuser in the code of the form, but like I said before, don't want them appearing in the form when it returns as an email.

Any thoughts or am I stuck with it the ay it is?

your stuck with it seeing as you cannot access the script processing the form values and sending the email A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

What about using a form that calls a php page? That way you can just upload the php page into the root or wherever your pages are and you don't have to worry about the cgi-bin directory.
