Contact Us/ Multiple FeedBack Pages/Multiple Email Addresses
Hello:
I have a Postgresql database set up for link searches. I am using
MiniVend's built in search engine to access it and it works great.
In addition I want to setup another email address in addition to
the existing "orders to". This will allow people to contact us concerning
corrections to the links data. It would be best if this is in a different mail
box than the orders.
What I've tried so far:
Have form set up.
1. Set form action to "email.cgi". Typed in a CGI/PERL script for processing
email from HTML pages out of SAMS "Teach Yourself CGI Programming In A Week".
Made variable name substitution to correspond to the variable names used for
the fields in the form. Saved script to /home/httpd/cgi-bin/email.cgi. Also
saved it to the MiniVend /lib/Vend directory with the same results. The error
is
127.0.0.1 ZxBveQMM:127.0.0.1 - [30/November/1999:15:41:23 -0500] jtbm
/cgi-bin/jtbm/email.cgi Runtime error: ERROR: Bad float8 input format
'email.cgi'
I've even commented out everything but the top line and "use CGI;" and get the
same error.
2. After searching this mailing list archieve I got pointed to feedback.html.
I want to leave that just the way it is just duplicate it. I then copied the
file to feedbacklinks.html and replaced __ORDERS_TO__ with
"correctlink@localhost" Setup an <A HREF pointing to
special/feedbacklinks.html. Got the "Hey! This needs to come from a feedback
form." message insead of the form. I see this is because of a scratch
feedback_active not being active.
3. Changed the <A HREF to [area feadbacklinks] and got an error like the
first one.
127.0.0.1 sz5iuVFU:127.0.0.1 - [30/November/1999:16:45:31 -0500] jtbm
/cgi-bin/jtbm/feedbacklinks Runtime error: ERROR: Bad float8 input format
'feedbacklinks'
4. Using [area feadback] only brings up the existing feedback.html page.
Do anybody know any work arounds?
I'm running RH 5.2
Perl 5.004.004
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Karl
