Hi,

I have a movie for sending comments to my site and it makes a call to an ntformmail perl script on the host server.
For some reason nothing happens. The call I am using is -

loadVariablesNum ( "http://www.sumsite.com/cgibin/ntformmail.pl",0, "POST" );

should I be using something else?

thanks in advance for any help

loadVariablesNum() action should be fine, if all the vars you want to load are on level0.
for debugging purposes (debuggin only) use:

getURL("url","_blank","POST");

then have your pl file create some sorta output... i don't know cgi/perl, so don't know how to make suggestions here, but hopefully if you do it this way, and your pl file is throwing an error, the window will show you some sorta error message... or check your log files to see what is going on when the file is run.

Thanks tg!

I still can't get it running.
I think it may be something in the perl script. Going to go through that later today and see if I can find the problem.

If that doesn't work I think I will start from scratch again and see if I can get a simpler version working and build from that.

thanks for the help!
