Please Need help grabbing 2 variables - cgi

[topache]

Hi,

Please I need your help.

I'm trying to make something out of a cgi form mail script.

I have everything working so far except for 1 little detail that is giving me a headache.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a form someone can fill out where they type in the begining of an email address in 1 field (ex johndoe) then from a drop down list select the second part (ex @you.com or @me.com) then fill out the other 2 fields and be able to send that to the approciate place. (either johndoe@you.com or johndoe@me.com).

If you look at my script below you can see where I'm trying grab the begining and end of the email using 2 fields. It runs without any errors, but I don't get the email sent to me.

Can anyone help PLEASE! and THANKYOU!!

Part of the html form where I have the 2 fields, 1 to type in johndoe and the selection list to select either @you.com or @me.com

<TD align="left" width="20%"><B>Email Address:</B></TD>
<TD><input type="text" name="first">
@<select name="second" size="1">
<option value="@me.com" selected>me.com</option>
<option value="@you.com">you.com</option>
</select>

********Part of the cgi:*********

use strict;

use CGI;

my $cgiobject = new CGI;

my $MailProgram = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
my $first =$cgiobject->param("first");
my $second =$cgiobject->param("second");

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

open (MAIL,"|$MailProgram -t") || &errormess;
print MAIL "To: $first($second)\n"; ***************
print MAIL "From: $email_add\n";
print MAIL "Reply-to: $email_add\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Email From Your Website\n";
print MAIL "Name $fname\n";
print MAIL "email $email_add\n";
print MAIL "Msg $email_msg\n";
close(MAIL);

Where you see my ***** is where I'm trying to open my sendmail and have it put in an email to: johndoe@you.com ($first which it typed and @you.com which is selected)

Thanks for any help

try print MAIL "To: $first$second\n";
instead of
print MAIL "To: $first($second)\n";

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
Actually I have already tried that. I've tried several combinations like: , ; () [] ect.. but the same thing happens. Everything appears to run fine but the email doesn't get sent.

Here's something else to try ...
... some servers require this (I don't know why).

Add a double "newline" after the Subject.

print MAIL "Subject: Email From Your Website\n";
print MAIL "\n\n";

I also forgot to ask if it works when you "hardcode"
in the sender/recipients.
