Matt Wright produces buggy code, so please beware.

Yes it's working, I must admit that Andrew has taught me something that I thought never exists and I hope to use it.

Thanks again, Andrew

Is the url correct?

The requested URL /registration2.html was not found on this server

Thanks andrew- it worked PERFECTLY.

All you have to do is download formmail.pl and set it up on your server as you usually would.. Then, one of the hidden fields it asks you to set is called "redirect", which redirects to any URL based on successful output. All you have to do is call the selection box "redirect" and set the value for the options in the box as a URL. Check it out here: http://www.loltech.com/registration2.html (the email form on that page goes to me, so you can go ahead and do tests if you want)

Hehe I used formmail.pl for some of my web pages, it's similar to cgiemail.pl it doesn't have a menu option included in the script if I am not mistaken. Please post here, I will be also interested to know how to include the menu option in the script.

Oooh. Great idea Andrew!
I'll be sure to try that!

Use formmail.pl by Matt Wright, available free at:

http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/

Name your select menu 'redirect' with the desired URLs as the values.

That's it!

The script has many other useful form handling functions such as emailing results, autoresponders etc...

Looks like you are trying to parse the formmail and menu at the same time using one cgiemail script which usually requires two scripts.

Anyway in your OPTION tag, change it to

Series 6 Live

If it doesn't work then you may have to re-write your cgiemail script to include the menu option.

Hope this helps

I'm talking about a perl script, the form is located here: http://www.loltech.com/register.html

You can see the drop-down menu for which product the user wants inside the form, so that's what we're trying to redirect based on.
