I'm just new at doing scripting and I just need help doing this script for the mail script. the field name is called 'example' How do I put like: if the field 'example' doesn't haven't anything typed in print Mail "You did not signup for...etc"; but if it does print Mail "You have used $FORM{'example'}...etc"; What's the propper coding to code the statement above. Thank you - Jane

The statment would be an if statement. firstly, in this script all posted variables come are equal to $formdata{'name'} WITH: name BEING THE FIELD NAME="" VALUE So, You could use this: ## FIRST CHECK TO SEE IF ## ## $formdata{'example'} has a value ## ## it would only have a value if it ## ## was filled in ## if (! $formdata{'example'}) { ## BELOW WILL PRINT IF NO VALUE ## print Mail "You did not signup for...etc"; }else{ ## BELOW WILL PRINT IF VALUE EXISTS ## print Mail "You have used $formdata{'example'} etc"; } ... Side note however. There is a feature in BIZ MAIL FORM that allows you to select whether or not to print blank fields in the email. The setting is: ## TO EXCLUDE BLANK ENTRIES ## $PRNT_blankfields = "2"; ## TO INCLUDE BLANK ENTRIES ## ## THIS IS THE SCRIPTS DEFAULT VALUE ## $PRNT_blankfields = "1"; This is explained further in the readme file.
