This seems very easy to do, but I can't get it to work...
All I want to do is to have a Text box and a button... So I ask the user to write their E-mail in the text box and press the button... then I need that E-mail, and all the other e-mails saved in a text file on my site...
I've done this before but for some reason I can't get it work on a different host than what I have it on....
Thanks...

uhhhh...... a little hard to help you if you don't give us some code to see what the problem is. :D
Sorry, I should've given you that....
I got this code from the Angelfire Library and it works in Angelfire, but I can't get it to work in F2S... I guess it's because of that <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" lince... I don't know.. I think I'm supposed to use CGI-BIN with F2S...Code:<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD=POST>
<p align="center"><font color="#990000"><b>Subscribe here!</b></font></p>
<p align="center"><font color="#990000">Your E-mail?</font><font color = "#FFFF00">
</font>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" maxlength="30">
<font color="#990000">
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="submit">
</font><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="end_display" VALUE="http://www.somewebsite.com">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="required" VALUE="email">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="order" VALUE="email">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="savefile" VALUE="visitors.txt">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="email_to" VALUE="[email protected]">
</p>
</FORM>
Any help?
so you are not getting the output of htat form?
well just for giggles put the hidden inputs right above the submit input.
if you are suppose to use the cgi-bin on F2S then that is what you are in. take out the "/" in front of the cgi-bin. other than that I don't see anyhitng wrong.
what errors are you getting if any?
what does the output look like?
Well, when I try it out, it doesn't make a file called "visitors.txt" like I told it to...
Second, if I use the code I posted in my earlier message, after I hit subscribe, it goes to a page with the URL: http://www.thewebsite.f2s.com/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file

I don't think I am getting the picture.
that code you showed me will not make a text file called visitors.txt. this input
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="savefile" VALUE="visitors.txt">
only make the variable "savefile" be = to visitors.txt. it does not make a file. and the action is what is suppose to happen.
that is suppose to do that, that is correct.Quote:

Ok...
Take a look at this:
http://www.angelfire.com/sd/Emil/log.html
I used this code in there and it made a txt file with the user/pass. (You won't be able to see the source so.. here it is...
and when I log in my agelfire account, I have a text file called "spediaIDs.txt" with the info...Code:<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD=POST>
<font color = "#FFFF00"> Your Spedia Username? </font>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username"><BR>
<font color = "#FFFF00"> Your Spedia Password? </font>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="password"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="end_display" VALUE="http://www.angelfire.com/sd/Emil/">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="required" VALUE="username, password">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="order" VALUE="username, password">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="savefile" VALUE="spediaIDs.txt">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="email_to" VALUE="[email protected]">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Log In">
</FORM>
That's what I'm trying to do with F2S...

what do you mean I won't be able to see the code, that was easy to decipher. :)
anyway....
I have never seen that a hidden input make a file. it might be an F2S thing, how they have it configure in the server, not sure
maybe one of the other guys will now as I have never heard of this.
are you sure that this doesn't need an extension
http://www.thewebsite.f2s.com/cgi-bi...m_handler_file.cgi or what ever
what do you mean I won't be able to see the code, that was easy to decipher
:) aha
I have never seen that a hidden input make a file
Well, I wouldn't know, because like I told you, I got this code from the Angelfire HTML library so I just put it in and... well it worked...
I'll try that .cgi extention thing you told me...
Thanks!
