Something like this may be useful to you:
Make two files.
Name one of them: form.html
Put this in it:
<HTML><BODY>
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/form_processor.php" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT NAME="name"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="What's your name?">
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>
Name the second file: form_processor.php
Put this in it:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['name'])){
?>
Hello, <?php echo $_POST[name]?><BR>
Welcome to my website!
<?php
}
?>
Now, upload the HTML page to the HTML part of your site, but put the PHP
page in your cgi-bin part of your site.
Visit the HTML page, and it *SHOULD* invoke the PHP page when you submit
the form.
