CGI Script

by wolfbanes . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

I have created a simple feedback form for a website with the basic MAILTO: action to send the responses via e-mail. The problem is that the answers arrive as an attachment that isn’t associated with any application and when opened in Wordpad looks like jibberish. I can translate it, but it’s not what I want. I know that people use CGI scripts to get these responses sent as a readable e-mail. Can anyone lead me through the process of creating one? I know it needs to be put in the cgi-bin folder,but beyond that I’m pretty confused. I’m certainly no programmer. I’d really appreciate your help.
