[thelist] CGI Server Side - How do I include attachments in a form

[Sylvia Braunstein]

Hi, I do web maintenance on a part-time basis. I have already posted a while
ago but the project was put on hold.

I was asked to create a feedback form to include attachments. I included an
<INPUT TYPE="file"> tag and metadata tag in the html but have no idea what
to do with the CGI on the server side and how it works.

What I would like to do is have the attachments sent with the email that I
get back from my feedback form. The <INPUT TYPE="file"> tag, sends back
gibbrish in my email when I try to actually attach a file.

I understand that I need to post CGI code on the (remote) server but I have
no clue how.

I have no knowledge of CGI and I believe this is an exceptional request. Can
someone kindly help me with this. What to do? How does it work? Where to
look? Is there any code that is already ready? If yes, where can I find it?
Is there a simple way to solve this? Thank you so much in advance.

Sylvia
