 | View Full Version : Matt's Formmail.pl return varibales? jtrovato 07-03-2003, 10:41 AM Do you know if an email address is returned (forwarded) from the redirect, when you use formmail.pl script and have a redirect to a thank you page? I need the email address returned.. Thank you John ttjoum 07-07-2003, 10:03 AM As far as i know in the form that calls formmail.pl you can tell to what page you want it to redirect. But i don't think it does return the email address. garrence 07-07-2003, 04:23 PM I know that most people - including Matt - advise against using Matt's formmail. Most recommend NMS FormMail (http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/) instead. jtrovato 07-07-2003, 05:43 PM lol Why would Matt say such a thing? I guess you like NMS formmail better??? garrence 07-07-2003, 08:31 PM The NMS site explains the security flaws in Matt's code and links to the page on Matt's site where he says "I would highly recommend downloading the nms versions if you wish to learn CGI programming. The code you find at Matt's Script Archive is not representative of how even I would code these days." www.scriptarchive.com/nms.html (http://www.scriptarchive.com/nms.html) Basically it's easy for spammers to keep posting to the MSA form and use your server to send out spam. I can't remember the exact flaws and whether Matt fixed because I install the NMS one. |
