Hello My apologies to everyone but this list does say 'beginners'. My problem...I am trying to modify a script that a co-worker wrote for us. He no longer works here.
The snippets of the script below #!/usr/bin/perl BEGIN { $email_addresses = "blah\@blah.com, blahblah\blah.com,etc"; # --------------------------------------------------------------------- #lots more stuff goes in here.... &Email_User; # --------------------------------------------------------------------- #lots more stuff goes in here.... sub Email_User { $sj="-s \"MyDirectory. file transfers\""; system("mail $sj " . "$email_addresses" . " < ../MyDirectory/uploads/" "$descrip"); } # --------------------------------------------------------------------- The html form that this script refers to, is very simple. It allows a user to fill out pertinent info about a file; Upload the file; and emails the contents of the form, along with a link to the uploaded file (resides on our web server) to whoever I put into the $email_addresses = "blah\@blah.com, blahblah\blah.com,etc"; line. My modification is this... I want to change the html form to included a customized email that can be filled in by the user. I want THAT email address used instead of the pre-filled in emails that were previously put into the $email_address area. I do not know enough about Perl to have it point to that line on the form for the email address. My ultimate goal would be to CC: to another email. We are a newspaper and the 'files' would be ad proofs to customers. the CC: would go to ad reps to let them know/see that a proof was delivered. I have reference books and I am learning but need some direction. This seems like a simple thing to do. Can someone help? -- Debbie McNerney, Systems Dept.
