RE: Forms and Formmail on NT Server

I am hosted with Interland (www.interland.net) and they offer FormMail. I am
not strong enough in Perl to tell you what modifications they made, but I do
know that it works.

Subject: Forms and Formmail on NT Server


I posed this question some time ago, but perhaps there are
other solutions now available.

My client had a site designed by another designer that ran
fine on a Unix server. My client's Wen hoster was taken over
by another and the servers were changed over to NTs. There
was a simple catalogue order form which consisted of a
Formmail script sending mailing info to an email address. It
stopped functioning when the servers were changed.

I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get it to
work with little support from the hoster. I settled on a
simple mailto solution. Now my client informs me that she
does want the form which prompt with the correct info they need.

The HWG folks last time essentially told me that Formmail
does not work with NT servers.

Is that still so? I spoke to a web programmer who said that
he does forms in ASP. Is that the route to go? I need to get
this down fairly quickly.

Thanks in advance.
