Hi!
Please help, I downloaded the form mail script below and got stuck. Firstly do I separate the script so that everything before the <html> gets pasted on a blank text document and saved as fm.php which then gets uploaded to cgi-bin. Secondly do I paste all of the stuff in between the <html> tags and save it as an html page and upload?
I guess I am sounding rather daft but I don’t know the first thing so any help on how I can take what is claimed to be a working script, but does not come with a manual and configure it so that the website has a simple form mail.
Thanks,
Ishvir
