The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need CGI EMAIL help for a newbie trying to create a simple web form

Asked by rngrfan in CGI Scripting

Tags: email_binary, my

I am attempting to create a simple form on a web site for my brother that will email some customer information.

Heres what I have so far

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>

<FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://ankerpools/public_html/cgi-bin/simpleform.txt">

Your e-mail address: <INPUT NAME="email"><p>
Your name: <INPUT NAME="yourname"><p>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Send e-mail">
</FORM>
     
 
</BODY>
</HTML>

I copied the action line from some MIT manual that I found and tried to convert to my brothers info.  Not real sure I did that right.

I also created the simpleform.txt file which I uploaded to the public_html/cgi-bin folder on the web server.  I was just guessing this was the right spot but not real sure.

The simpleform.txt looks like this

To:test@ankerpools.com                          HEADER LINES
Subject: Two Questions
                                                 
What is your email?              [email]          BODY
What is your name?             [yourname]          


Can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong.   Don't know I if is extremely difficult for you but it is for me so 500pts.

Thanks in advance for your help and patience with me on this.
