Creating a form that will email the results to you.

Generally, the idea is:

We use a form processing script called form2mail. You call it up in your form with this line:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/form2mail.pl">

To tell form2mail where to send the form output, you add this line:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="recipient" VALUE="youremailhere@lawrence.edu">


To tell form2mail in which order to deliver the form fields, you add something like this:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="sort" VALUE="order:Students Name,Students E-Mail Address,Essay Title,First Paragraph,Second Paragraph,Third Paragraph,Fourth Paragraph,Fifth Paragraph,Sixth Paragraph,Seventh Paragraph,Penultimate Paragraph,Concluding Paragraph">

Otherwise it delivers the form fields in a random order. No one knows why.

View the source for a form like the Admissions Info request form to see how this works in reality: http://www.lawrence.edu/admissions/regform/reg_cardexcel.shtml

There are a bunch of other options; see: http://www.liquidsilver.com/scripts/form2mail/forms.htm for more info.
