[cobalt-users] Mail script ?

["Paul Shuttleworth" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

Not exactly RAQ based but related (so I hope I will get away with it).
We are currently in the process of pulling some sites from our present
provider and putting them on our RAQ4r which is now at our co-lo and after a
few months testing and tweaking is ready for action. One of our sites uses a
formmail CGI script which is reasonably complex. Our present provider will
not release the script to us (even when offered money!!) as they say it is
their own script and they do not want anyone else using it (not exactly the
*nix spirit) but then we are pulling all our sites from them!


The current script instruction/features are here -
http://www.webzhost.co.uk/Form_Post_V2.htm

You may recognise the script as I am almost certain they have not written
this from scratch.



In short the script needs to be capable of the following and run on a RAQ4r
(see this is the cobalt bit)


1. When submitted a confirmation e-mail needs to be sent to the customer
based on a template which can have variables from the form inserted.

2. A second confirmation e-mail needs to be sent to the client based on a
second template.

3. The script needs to be capable of allocating a unique number to each
output to the customer and then this number be incremented by 1 on each
submission. The current number can be stored in a simple text file on the
server, incremented and overwritten.

4. The script needs to be capable of storing the results of each form and
appending this to a file on the server to build up a database in simple text
format of all submissions. Again this output to file needs to be
customisable as to what gets stored in the file and what is simply ignored.

5. Re-direct to 'okpage' following successful submission

6. The script could be run from a common server cgi-bin or from a customers
cgi-bin either would be fine.


If any one can point me to a script that does all of the above which is
either free or cheap I would be grateful.

Cheers
Paul.
