CSMailto -- has anyone here used it?

[fivetonine]

Hi there -

I'm thinking of purchasing CSMailto from CGIScripts.net. I have several forms on a site that I created in Front Page. Anyone who's used that software knows that it's problematic (typically Microsoft) so we are moving to a Unix server and I'd like to redo the forms using cgi. The thing is, I can code html in my sleep, but I'm just learning cgi. I found this great site, Cgiscripts.net and they feature a script that looks exactly like what I need. My forms have to return a confirmation page that shows what the user has input and at the same time, it must send an email containing this information so that an order can be placed. The script costs $35 which I think is a small price to pay for someone like me who's not really into programming. Has anyone here used it? What did you think?

Thanks so much in advance!

Before making any purchase, It's best you try out the free script out there. Who knows you might get the one you need with 0 dollars to pay. Because your problem sound not so difficult to handle and I believe there are lots of free script out there that do those thing.

If this comment hurt anyone out there, I'm sorry. Just trying to help.

Thanks a bunch. I don't think you've hurt anyone's feelings -- what you've said makes sense. The thing is that I have looked around the web and this one seems to do everything that I need it to do without my having to do much modification...I guess I'm tired of looking at this point.

I posted a perl script in this forum on another thread that will email the contents of a form to a specified email address. You should be able to modify that fairly easily to also print out a confirmation page. Better: it's free. Search this forum for the word MailForm.pl. Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
