How
To Use The Public Scripts
The public
form handler script emails you the form a user fills out on the
web. If an email address is specified by the user a confirmation
of the entered data is sent back to them. If you wish a different
message for each form can be attached to this email.
When the user
submits the form, the script displays a generic thanks page. You
can override this, and design your own HTML thanks page with all
the usual web page design elements that you'd like to use. Or
you can redirect to any page on the Web.
