Biz Mail Form V 1.5 contains many new updates which I have listed at the bottom of this post. The Main purpose of this post is to explain how to upgrade your old version 1.3-1.4 of the script to 1.5. It Contains All the Same files. Simply download the zip file and configure the bizmail.cgi file. Except for the Read Me file, the other files are the same and can be discarded. Even if you are not taking advantage of the new features you should still download and use version 1.5 since there are many new security features and updates made to the script as well as some potential glitches with the data file fixed as well. NEW Biz Mail Form Version 1.5 Release - New Features Biz Mail Form can now email the auto response and form data via either SMTP or SENDMAIL. This script now allows you to attach a file to the auto response email. Great for those that use this script for order form processing and want to deliver an electronic product. For those who are using this script to do lead generation form processing; this script can now delete duplicate form submissions. (Duplicates are determined by the posted email) The script now changes double quotes contained in the form data to two single quotes. This is to avoid conflict with the double quote text qualifier sent to the data file. New security bug fixes and updates. I think this is about the most fully featured form processing script you can find at no cost. However I am already working on a secure form processing script for individuals or company's wanting to do order processing. If you have any features you would like to see that you do not currently, please reply to this post, and I will consider adding them. Some features I plan to add in the secure form processing script include: Custom error pages that you can customize from a secure back room on your site. You will also configure all the information needed in a form, and will be able to be updated via the backroom as well, which will make it easier for new programmers. You will also be able to download the form data securely through the back room, rather than having to download it via ftp like you would now. Seth
