Daymon- have you tried changing the action of the form handler? AF and tripod share the same cgi set up and modules. At tripod it's possible to write form input to a text file this way...

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file" METHOD="POST">

Since I only have a free account at AF I can't test this here but thinking it should work the same here as at tripod.

hope it helps

Daymon- here's a page of AF instructions I just found re saving form input to .txt . If you've already seen this, my apologies.

I just noticed after you posted this that there is a different path for saving data to a text file...

/cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_file

Where using a form to mail the information would be...

cgi-bin/script_library/form_handler_mail

Thanks for the heads up cw :) Now I'm off to see if this works.

P.S. Are there any other form handler paths?

WOOHOOOOOO!!!! That worked! Thanks CW! Not only did it work, but I was able to use a server side include to call the text file to an html page. This is pretty awesome since now I can have visitors leave comments about my site that is fully indexable by search engines and validates as XHTML :)

WOOHOOOOOO!!!! x 2! Glad that worked for you. Only two actions I know of are mail and file. I'm not very proficient in cgi and am interested in how you output the text file to a web page. I can get a form to work to mail or text file but haven't gone beyond that. How hard was it to include the include and how is it done?

Monday, 22 January 2007 - 4:09 PM EST

Very simple actually, but the file needs to be in the same directory as the page with the include "code" in it. So for example, in your main directory, you could put this code anywhere in the html to call the visitors.txt file.

#include virtual="visitors.txt"

Make sure at the beginning of the code you put a left pointing arrow, exclamation point and two hyphens no spaces, at the end add a space, two hyphens and a right pointing arrow. I couldn't ad those here because the code wouldn't show up if i did.

Word of caution. It's not a good idea to ask for personal info like e-mail address on a form if you intend to have it publicly viewable. Let me know how it works out, and thanks again :)


P.S. This is an excellent way to keep a templated site especially with menus.

Thank YOU! Can't wait to give it a shot but it will be a few days. I'll let you know how it goes.

PS You can post code here if you replace the symbol for the left facing arrow < with the ascii code for it. It won't be usable as code on a web page if copied but at least you can get it posted for illustration purposes. Only the < needs to be converted in the code. The rest can stay as is

The ascii code for a left facing arrow is 4 characters with no spaces between them ..... & l t ;

OK then that's:
<!--#include virtual="visitors.txt" --›

Of course, since said human rights abuses involve oppression of women, they're often not seen as human rights abuses, but from American purity balls that imply that men own their daughters to female genital mutilation, women's rights are being oppressed, with religion and tradition as the excuses.
