.txt no executable extension for CGI-BIN

In my previous website, I had plenty of forms that were perfectly executable in a .txt format. That made the setup very easy.

Now my current webhost demands that I use Perl or PHP, but it’s too complicated to me as I want to concentrate on contents and usability. I have checked easiForm but I doubt I can get things running in the short term, as I’m lacking the basics.

Here is an example of the page I have to get working:
http://www.confuciusaction.com/feedback.html

Am I missing something here or can someone give me a helping hand?

Thanks

Nick

Hi,
FormsToGo may be what you are looking for.

http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/

You set up your form in Freeway and use FormsToGo to build the PHP to process it.

There’s a tutorial to help you get it working with Freeway here:

Hi Nick, Basics for what… adding actions? that’s all you need to do
using the PHP easiForm actions. If you need any help setting your form
up with easiForm then contact me throught the easibase.com web site
and I will step you through your issues but really, it’s basically
nothing more than adding actions apart from uploading 1 folder to your
server using ftp.

What is in the ‘feedback.txt’ file that the ‘action’ points to? It
looks like a configuration file for some non-standard web hosting.
Some Microsoft system perhaps?

Because it’s a text file, it’s fully visible to the world at large.
And it exposes your email@hidden address.

I have chosen the PHP easiForm actions. You learn quickly how to implement them and they work flawlessly. Great tutorials. Great support. All forms are working like a charm. Integration in FW is exemplary. My site was up and running in no time.
