Form Processing

The Form Processing script is provided to all hosting clients of 866GetHost.com. This script was developed and is maintained by our in-house programming team.

If you have ever tried to implement a cgi script or FrontPage script into any form, you know the aggravation and frustration involved. Our Form Processing script eliminates the need for complicated scripts or the ability to know any programming language. Creating forms and having them submit to any email address is easy to setup using our graphical interface and plain english configuration.

The steps below assume that you have created a form in HTML, or in your favorite WYSIWYG editor. Once you have created the form layout, proceed to the next step, which will produce the html code to copy/paste into your HTML form page.

FORM PROCESSING SETUP PROCEDURES

  1. Log onto your Control Manager
  2. From the navigation menu on the left, choose APPLICATIONS
  3. Click on FORM PROCESSING
  4. In this area you will see a dialog box titled FORM PROCESSING SETUP - PART 1
  5. Simply follow the instructions on this page, completing all required fields. At the bottom of the page, click NEXT to get to FORM PROCESSING - PART 2. Based on your selections on Part 1, the second part of the script will only include the relevant fields necessary.
  6. When finished, click SETUP.
  7. In the FORMS ALREADY SETUP dialog box, you will see any forms that have been created.
  8. Click on SHOW CODE to display the HTML that you need to copy and then paste into your HTML page.
  9. You will want to replace the HTML that starts with something similiar to the following:

<form name="form" method="post" action="">

with the "code" created by the Form Processing script.

IMPORTANT: You cannot paste the HTML code into any WYSIWYG editor. You must paste the code directly into the HTML.

Once you have pasted in the code, you will then need to save your HTML page and upload it to your server. Any updates made to the Form Processing script are done directly through the control manager. You do not need to re-upload your HTML page.
