Thanks for th eprevious help....

Is there any way to have the email results ONLY INCLUDE
fields that were answered?

I'm trying to negate all of the extra text in the results
email that aren't necessary.

Thanks.
 
Yes, you can post the form to the perl script for processing.

I hate to sound so needy, but you seem to know what is
needed here.

I have added to other scripts previously, to dictate the
order of the results, etc.

Can you recommend a known script or add on to a script
that would suppress un-populated fields from displaying in
a form email? Matt's?

Thanks.
 
I only work with ASP/VBScript on Windows IIS servers, so I can only offer
basic info on what would be needed.

I would think the formmail.pl script should be fairly easy to modify in
notepad. In FP just set your form to send to other and then match the field
name in the script to your form and then figure out how to do some type of
IF statement check if a field value is empty and then not include the field
in the email.

Now if you have been also using the FP Form Handler to write to a file as
well as send to email, you are then loose this functionality unless you can
figure how to code this under Perl.

You may want to check into using PHP, as I think you can find more support
resources related to it, then Perl.

Actually, I'm sorry...i came up with another question
about this.

I have always used formmail.pl on it's own, or rather,
never using frontpage.

Are you saying that I can create my form in frontpage,
then specify the formmail.pl within it?

If so, I see the "Other" radio button. Once I do that, do
I need to go into advanced props to amter the bot to see
my perl script on the server?

Thanks.
 
You would select send to other, then under Advance you would set the form
action to be your formmail.pl script
