- I have the need to collect form data from a html form and send the
- data to an ascii file on the server. Once the data is in place I would
- like for a program to print the results to a printer connected to the
- server.
-
- Does CGI support these types of functions? I have seen the results of
- data from a form sent to an email address (mailto:)... the results
- were the name of the field and the contents of the field, seperated by
- a character (can not remember the character). Can a CGI script be told
- to remove the field name leaving only the data and write the file to a
- harddisk?
-
- I would appreciate a response via email rather than to retrieve it
- from here.
-
- Thanx
