beginners needs help with form handler
I'm putting up a website for my friends business. This is also my first time developing a website. I'm using dreamweaver to build the site and I've already created the form page. My problem is I'm not familiar at all with CG I-scripts, perl, java and so on. I've downloaded a few free form handler programs, but I haven't been able to understand all the instructions on what to do with all the cgi scripts, email options. Totally Stuck and confused. Thanks

The first thing you need to understand is that if you want help you need to ask a complete question.
now i understand you have a problem with a cgi script and probably this script is for mailling the content of a form.
1- what script are you using?
2- what is the problem?
3- try to add as much information as you can
IF , ELSE , WHILE isn't that what life is all about

I have the form mail pl. script/file. How do I get this to completey work? I don't fully understand the instructions that comes with it, I don't understand the terms of the instructions.
(The solution that i'm looking for is.. I'm in need of the fundamental instructions of installing a form handler program so that I may receive email of the data from the forms.)
I'm also in need of a form handler program that sends a reply email to the user and that the programs will parse the text string before sending the email to the administrator. How can i get this program at no cost

you install the form handler by uploading it in ascii and setting the permissions
then you make a form
... there isn't much else to it! Where in PARTICULAR are you going wrong? URLs are very helpful.
As for the no cost issue, there are oodles of tutorials online, you'll have to learn how to adapt the form processor to meet your needs. You'll still be paying for it, but only with an opportunity cost, not a financial one.
