JumpFormMail [Unix - Shareware]

JumpFormMail is a simple perl/cgi script which handles the emailing of form fields. This script is configurable and also has the ability to store submitted form field values in a specified database for further retrieval and processing.

Features

  • one script, easy to setup.
  • generic form mail which works with any form, any number of forms, any number of fields
  • option to store submitted in text database for further processing


Setup Instructions

Here's what you need to know to use this program.

  1. Right-click and save the script (Save Link As...) as jumpformmail.cgi.

  2. Open the script in a text editor (e.g. Notepad). Do not use Microsoft Word. Modify line 10 and replace domain.com with the name of your domain.

    $domain = 'domain.com';

    For example, if your website is http://www.test.com, line 10 should be changed to:

    $domain = 'test.com';

  3. Upload the script into your cgi-bin in ASCII mode, and chmod it to 755.

  4. Prepare your submit form. In your form, there are 4 compulsory hidden fields which you must always include. These are:

    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="webmaster_email" VALUE="email@domain.com">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Subject of E-mail">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="confirmation_page" VALUE="http://www.domain.com">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="database" VALUE="database.txt">

    • "webmaster_email" is where the email will be sent.
    • "subject" is the subject of the email
    • "confirmation_page" is the url where the script will redirect to after all the processing is done.
    • "database" is the name of the file where the records will be written to. If you leave the value of this field empty, it will not write to any database.

  5. In your form fields, put a "send_" before the names of all the fields that you want emailed to you. The form mailer will only email you those fields with a "send_" in the field names, like this:

    Firstname: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="send_firstname"">

  6. Upload (in ASCII) an empty text file, whose name corresponds to that of the database field value, and chmod it to 777.

  7. You may refer to the below sample form as an example of how your form might look like.


Firstname:
Lastname:
Email:
Sex: Male Female
Favorite Color:
 

In this test, the email will be sent to the email address entered in the form, so go ahead and enter your email and you'll receive it in a couple of seconds.
