Hello, I am using BFormMail.pl a FormMail.pl variant and all works well e= xcept=20 1 aspect. This script is capable of writting the results from a form to a flat data= base=20 in comma delimited form and that is where the problem occurs. I think tha= t it=20 is either a path problem or a permission problem. I've read all the=20 documentation and still can't make it work. The rest of the scrpt works f= ine,=20 email is generated to the owner of the form, a thankyou web page is displ= ayed=20 and a thankyou email is generated to the person who filled out the form. Here are the particulars The top directory I have access to on the system is /public_html, under w= hich=20 are several other directories, the pertinent ones being /public_html/cgi-= bin=20 and /public_html/data in which resides the datafile variables.dat Permissions are as follows: /public_html/cgi-bin 755 /public_html/data 762 /public_html/data/variables.dat 762 the url to the script is like http://www.xxx.com/cgi-bin/BFormMail.pl the path passed on to the script to write to the datafile is=20 =2E/data/variables.dat I'm out of ideas.
