I messed with this code all day long and I'm guessing it is something to do with were it is sent after the info is added. I used a some what of a cheat sheet text code. Can someone look and suggest something please?

Thank You
It does submit.. It submits to: mailto:affiliate@drama-art.com
If the person has a mail client such as Outlook - or a Google toolbar which if checked will open your gmail it will open a window. I have tried something like this before. It will email you a blank page and in that black page will be an attachment that looks something like get data, here's an example:
When a user fills out the form
Name: Nile
Email: %%j$er(emy]fifty9@gmail[ DOT ] com, get rid of %, $ { ] and others(not 9 though)
Will look like:
attached.txt
&name=Nile&email=%%j$er(emy]fifty9@gmail[ DOT ] com
That should look something like what it would look like.
I suggest using a CGI Email or PHP, you can find the mail() function here for PHP (http://us3.php.net/mail).

I went in and changed it after the post to the mail to affiliate@drama-art.com
I guess it does email but like you said its all in the CGI Bin and I guess I will have to set it up. Do you suggest any links to start with.
Thank You Again I appreciate the Help. *smiles*
I don't suggest CGI Bin - although I've never used one. I do think these cost money. I'm all for the php mail() function - linked to above. If you need help setting up the mail function I'd be glad to help you. Take a look at the link I sent you, if you think you can't do it - search on google to make it easier for you.
Google is Friendz.
Did you mean? Google is Friends
Hahah - ok, got a little over the top there. ;)

Nile, I agree with you on Google. I use it for everything. Phone book,dictionary,recipes,code,ect...
It would be greatly appreciated if you could help as I know nothing about PHP as of yet. I do know how to copy and paste though. *laughing really hard*
I also did look at your link after my post about links. Last night I checked it out and I did not really get much out of it as I'm PHP Retarded. *LRH* Also I filled out the form and sent to to my affilaite email and checked the email this morning and the form did almost exactly what you said but there was no attachment, only an empty email with nothing?
If you can help me with setting it up let me know as I'm taking you up on your offer. *smiles*
You can contact me at the affiliate address as I pop in and out of here from time to time.
Thank You Very Much
I don't know exactly what you need help with - can you specify that please?
