How do I output from one form to another in Visual Basic?

I need to create a form that, upon completion, will redirect the user to a specific URL.

  • Where can I get a script for my websites that will allow me to ask questions of the user, and then, upon completion of filling out the form, that user is redirected to a specific URL? On my various websites, users can fill in a FORM that uses a script provided by http://www.pair.com, my server hosting company. Here is an http://www.usa-movies.net/News/ of one HTML page where I use this script. The http://www.usa-movies.net/cgi-sys/cgiemail/z-template-email.txt automatically e-mails me the data. My question is... How can I accomplish the same thing (requesting answers to various questions), but, instead of that output page being the response for the user, he or she is redirected to a specific URL instead?? I already contacted Pair, but they don't have any other scripts to offer, nor could they provide any advice on altering this one. How, then, would I go about creating or downloading a new one? Or altering the existing one? I have ten years of HTML and website experience, but my knowledge is very limited in this respect. I would need specific instructions for the script's creation, installation, and usage. Where can I find such instructions? Thank you!

  • Answer:

    The cgiemail script that Pair is using http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html#success by putting its URL in a hidden field called "success".

Does your host support php? You can easily find out by uploading a plain text file called something like test.php and containing only the following: <? phpinfo(); ?> Visiting the page will obviously work or obviously not work. Post back here with a yes or no and I might be able to provide some help.

Please do NOT use the Matt's script archive scripts. http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/about.html they "aren't very good. The scripts are well known amongst the Perl community to be badly written, buggy, and insecure. Anyone asking for support on Matt's scripts in any forum will be told in no uncertain terms that they shouldn't use his scripts." As a Perl/PHP/Ruby coder who often has had to support people whose websites were abused because of Matt's scripts, I concur completely.

Err...that link is to better alternatives to Matt's scripts, as I should have mentioned.
