Script for auto-responder
My HTML "Subscription" form has a number of text fields, 2 list boxes (State & Country) and one radio button group. All fields, with the exception of 2 are 'required'.
I have written my CGI using Perl. The first part of the form rewrites to form if there are any 'required' fields that were not filled in. In rewriting the form, I have written script to retain any previously entered data in the forms fields. I have been successful at doing this for all fields but one; the radio button group.
QUESTION #1
The HTML is calling for no 'default' radio button. The subscriber is to select one and I want the script to rewrite the group, retaining the selected (checked) radio button.
__________________________
The rewritten page is designed to allow the subscriber to complete the required fields and the to resubmit the form.
A. A response screen is now written and displayed in the browser.
B. An auto-responder forwards a thank-you to the subscriber and
C. The form data is forwarded to my email address.
QUESTION #2
Problem: the autoresponderAND response to my email address is forwarded when submitted to the HTML form. Therefore, if all fields are not conpleted, the auto-responder is still activated as is the response to my email address, providing me with only partial info.
There is probably an 'else' statement missing somewhere, but I can't seem to get it right.
HELP, before I finish pulling out my 56 year old hair.
THX!!

PS: If need be, I can forward the applicable script. There is really way too much to post here.

Okay, here is the link to the script:

Since there is no need to answer the first??, can someone pick up on what is most likely a very simple one.
Looking at the last 3-4 lines of code on my script, I am trying to provide a MAIL link to my web site. What is the format?
THANKS!!

I have resolved the first question by looking at an earlier posted question by me some months ago. Guess I didn't learn my lesson :(
Anyway, the second issue is still up for grabs and I will keep it to 500 points even though I don't need the first question answered.
Here is the address for the subscription form:

I will post the cgi code in a few minutes
