Subject: Calculating fields on order form |

| Hey,
I'm trying to perform a calculation where 6 fields (in a column) will total, and the total get submitted to me. The fields are named 'item1_total' 'item2_total' 'item3_total' and so on. I think I understand the variables...I'm just not sure exactly which page I need to type them into. For example, I'll be needing to add
$order_subtotal=$formdata{'item1_total'}+$formdata{'item2_total'}+$formdata{'item3_total'}+$formdata{'item4_total'}+$formdata{'item5_total'}+$formdata{'item6_total'};
Would this need to be typed into the bizmail.cgi form? Or am I way off? Will this type of function even work in an email form?
Thanks for any help! :-)

| Yes, you can run that calculation, however you need to stick that code below:
sub main {
IN bizmail.cgi
Of course from there you would have to put that field in the other parts of the script where you want it to work, or be emailed to you.

| Thank you for the quick reply! What do you mean exactly about putting that field in other parts of the script where I want it to work? I'm sorry for the dumb question...it's just that I thought I only had to type it in once to make it work. Obvious newbie here, lol.

| If it helps any to see what I've came up with so far...my html form is here: http://www.outwestgiftshop.com/resellers/resellerorder.html and it's a password protected area, but I'll send you an email in a second with a temp login, just in case you'd want to check it out.

| Seth, got your email about my bizmail.cgi not being found due to an Internal Server error. I noticed the same thing every time I tried to test the form. I don't understand that because I followed the instructions very carefully and double & triple checked every line. The path that the form sends you to for the bizmail.cgi is: http://www.outwestgiftshop.com/cgi-bin/bizmail.cgi ... which is exactly where it is located, so I have no clue why it won't come up. I'm currently awaiting a reply from my webhosting provider, to see if perhaps there's another problem I'm not aware of. I'd hate to not be able to use this form after looking forward to it so much, so I'm really trying to get it going. I'll post back with an update, in case it's a common problem that occurs, and others could benefit from the answer.
Thanks for trying to help,
Michelle Bailey | |

| If you get an error log from your hosting provider, that should be able to pin point the problem.

| Ok, my host just explained the error that showed up when the script was called. Here goes:

She (my host) verified that my filepaths are correct, and the CHMOD permissions are correct. What do I need to do next? I think I need to find my bottle of excedrin, lol.
Thanks,

| Ok, I'm trying to go down the list of errors one at a time and see what's wrong. Since I don't truly understand scripting however, it's more than a challenge to find code errors. Here's a copy of my lines 260-266 from bizmail.cgi. The error in the above post refers to line 264. Does this look correct to you or do I need to change something?
260 if($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "GET") {
261 require 'error.cgi';
262 &nopost;
263 }else{
264 e"t_form_data;
265 &main;
266 }
I just don't want to guess and mess things up even more than they already are. I'd like to be able to use this form, but it's just not looking possible.
Thanks for everything,
Michelle Bailey | |

| Ok, try this, Try re-downloading the script and then just re-configure bizmail.cgi.
I changed some things in the script that may work better on your server.
