Hey Joe,
That script has the basics to get it working, but there is a big caveat. You
need to scrub the form input to prevent ALL malicious inputs from reaching
the file. I'd hate to see someone put "rm -rf /" in the file and execute it.
There are all sorts of nasty things to put in a file, that you need to be
very careful. I can help with the file, but I am swamped as you can tell.

Thanks,
Eric
