Is anyone talented in CGI?

I have no problems with form mail except this:

My form looks like this >>

But it does not deliver the from: email address into the from: of the mail that arrives.

The from: address line reads:
() ()

and this is shown in the message body:
This message is sent by () on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 09:32:10

I'm using the Matt's script where line 394 reads:
print MAIL "From: $Config{'email'} ($Config{'realname'})\n";

What, please, am I not doing?

If there's something I can do for you in return, tell me - anything css, html or javascript.

Thank you.

Umm, well the form you have given doesn't even have an email field in the HTML. I'm not sure of the context here though--is there some other way that your CGI is supposed to grab the email (i.e., is it in a cookie or something?).

You have to have two inputs in the rest of your form for those to bits of info. You have to have:

Where the person filling out the form enters THEIR email address.

Where the person filling out the form enters their name.

Once you have that you will find your From: is populated.

Not an answer to your question, but you might consider looking at http://willmaster.com/possibilities/ for other scripts. The reason I say this (no, I'm not linked to Will Bontrager :) ) is that even Matt says his scripts are not secure and no longer recommends them.
