RE: finishing a form, again

: Hi All
: I have a form that uses the cgi program mailform1. Instead of sending the
: user to a "thank you" page, I like to total the cost of thier order and
: send them to a "thank you" page.
: Will mailform1 do this for me?
: TIA, John

Hi John,
If mailform1 is a perl program, you can use:
(In your form)->  <input type="checkbox" name="item1" value="137.65">

(In your cgi)->
$item1 = $FORM{'item1'};
$item2 = $FORM{'item2'};
$totl = $item1 +  $item2;     #etc.
print "Thank You!<br> Here is your total.\n";

if  ($FORM{'item1'}) {
print "Red Widget: ";
print "\$";
$# = '%.2f';     #For two decimal places.
 $item$FORM{'item1'};
print "<br>\n";
}
if  ($FORM{'item2'}) {
print "Green Widget: ";
print "\$";
$# = '%.2f';     #For two decimal places.
 $item$FORM{'item2'};
print "<br>\n";
}
print "TOTAL: ";
print "\$";
$# = '%.2f';     #For two decimal places.
print "$totl\n";

HTH,
Buddy
