A while back I created an online application form that takes
user-input information and then sends the info to a mail script and
then forwards the info to a designated e-mail address. Once the
"Submit" button is clicked, the data is sent and a "Thank
You"/confirmation page is displayed in the browser. I created this
eons ago, and now I can't remember where the URL for the Thank You
page is specified. I've checked the mail script ("formmail.pl") but
could not find any reference to the URL there. Any suggestions on
where to look?

Thanks much.

If it's not in formail, check the page source. Probably in a hidden redirect
field called success page or something.

the page name has to be there somewhere...

look at the page name (ie: thankyou.html, thankyou.php, etc... whatever it
is) and then just open your script up and use the FIND function of whatever
you are editing in to find it

You might also need to check the previous page (the one with the form on it)
if its a script you just downloaded then it might have a form element on the
form page that tells the script where to redirect the user after the form is
mailed

If not what's already been suggested, could you not just send a message
via the form, and see where you end up?

Oh, and you might want to change the name of the .pl script to something
that doesn't cry out to be used inappropriately by outside sources...
Some hosts are now asking users to change the name of these form-to-mail
scripts to reduce the number of successful hits looking for scripts with
security holes in them.

If it is formmail.pl from a while back, it probably came from Matt's
Script Archive. If so, find a different mail script! That one is a huge
security problem. On some hosts, you can get TOSed for using it.

Thank you all for your kind input. I did indeed find the hidden code,
and appreciate your help.

Best regards.
