Hi,
I've got hosting through http://www.inmotionhosting.com/ and they recommend that you use a Perl script, called FormMail.pl to link your forms from your site to your email, which is what I'm doing.

Problem is, users go to my site (www.groundswellproperties.com), enter their info in the form fields, and the form submits and emails me, and then goes to the "Thank You" page, but it submits blank fields, even if the user types something in them! This is what it sends to my email, regardless of what it plugged into the boxes on the form itself:

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by

How do I correct this? Tutorials on the lynda.com site said that the IDs on the input lines and in whatever server-side script was being run needed to match, but I know nothing about this. I know what the IDs on the form line-items are, but I do not have any idea how to link them to the FormMail script.

You should be able to look at the Perl script with just a text editor. I didn't write this Perl script, it came off the InMotion message boards from an employee.

Would an "enlightened" one look through these files and see what's going on? I've attached both the Perl file, and my form.htm file in a .zip folder (the attachment manager on this message board won't let me upload a .html file unzipped).

Firstly, I wasn't able to see your contact us page with the form. Make sure the HTML form input names match what the Perl script is searching for to submit to the email.

(I took the form down until I can figure out how to make it work. No sense having it up yet, especially if I'm going to miss people trying to contact me because it won't submit their information.)

I know the IDs have to match, but it does not even use the phrase "ID" in the script anywhere, so I'm not sure what whoever wrote it had in mind.
