FormMail.pl Sort Function Not Working

**benjamin** · February 2nd, 2006, 1:37 PM

Hi,
I usually use a different script for form handling but decided to try the FormMail clone in cgi-sys. I can't get the sort/order function to work. I am using it exactly as it is described on Matt's Scripts. Though this is a clone, it is supposed to work exactly like the Matt version.
Has anyone had any success or is there a trick to this?
Thanks in advance. Everything else works - just not the sorting of emailed results.

I've never been able to make most cgi scripts work, including this one.

Glad I'm not the ONLY one...

Thanks for joining the club, David.

Well I think the club needs an answer. I haven't really worked with form mail too much, unless you count back in the day when I actually had a personal website. So I am sure things have changed since.. erm, 1998.

The form we are currently using (that I never touched..) for our mailing endeavors on the Surpass site is this one:

Thanks Kayla. I've used many versions of FormMail (though, like you, not in the last 7-8 years) but don't know this one. Will check it out.

I think that these scripts mostly work fine when installed in the individual cgi-bins but the one in the system's cgi-bin doesn't want to follow the rules, for some reason... Not a big deal, except that I thought it was more secure for the server to use the system's script.

Aha, upon closer examination I see it's php. Very nice. Thanks, Kayla!
