Send button on order form

[Monika]

I am using Publisher 2007 and would like to insert an order form page. My
host does not support FPSE but PHP or CGI.

Now, I have now idea what to do in order get this order form page working.
Do I have to activate or change settings using the Host option (which one).
And how do I then tell the submit button to either use PHP or CGI.

Thank you very much.

Using the form properties option
In the action section. input the path and the name of the PHP or GCI file
that you are using
example:
/cgi/mycgiform.cgi

Spike,

Thank you very much for that. I found were to input the path. However, how
can I specify which path I am using and where? I presume that I should log in
to my account with my host? (not that I found anything like that there)

Sorry, but this is my very first one and I realise that I have a lot to learn.

Thanks.

Exactly correct

Log into the host server and locate the cgi or php script file that you are
going to use. Most ISP's use a separate folder for their scripts. The one
I use has the scripts in the CGI folder. Let's say that the file name is
doit.php and it is located in the cgi folder. The path in publisher would
be entered as "/cgi/doit.php" without the quotes of course. The help
files on your server may also give you directions to the location of the
files.
