Simple Web Counter

The counter comes as two programs:

To use either program copy the line and add it as an html tag to your page. Where ever you place your html tag is where the counter will appear.

1: <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter"--> Ongoing counter
or
2: <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counterm"--> Montly counter (Resets each month)

This will put a normal counter on your web page.  The counter increments
each time the page is loaded, and is actually a link to
http://www.ocis.net/stats.html. (Which I don't think exists yet. :P )

Here's some switches you can add:

-nd Don't display the counter
-nl Don't make it a link to the stats page.
-ord Make it an ordinal number. (1st, 2nd, etc..)

Please Note: Any time you update your page with netscape you will have to reenter this code and html tag
 

For example:

You are visitor #<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter-nl"-->

would print something like:

You are visitor #289

---

You are the <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter-ord-nl"--> visitor.

would print something like:

You are the 234th visitor.

---

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter-nd"-->

Wouldn't print anything, but would keep counting.  This way you have an invisible counter running.  People don't see how many hits you get, but it still keeps track. 

Important: You must ftp your page to your website and upload it  as you can't view the counter except from your published webpage.

Creating an Email Form

First what you must have is a Web Page with <FORMS> with a few <INPUT> entries as well as an {email template} such as: 

-----
<FORM method=post action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/{email template location}">
Name: <INPUT type=text name=name size=20><BR>
Phone: <INPUT type=text name=phone size=20><BR>
EMail: <INPUT type=text name=email size=20><BR>
</FORM>
-----

{email template} is a text file somewhere within your web pages that will
look similar to the following:

-----
From: {from address}
To: {to address}
Subject: {subject}

Name:  [name]
Phone:  [phone]
EMail:  [email]
-----

Where {from address} will be the email address who you want the mail to
look like it came from (it will really come from the web form so you could
say web_form@www.ocis.net if you wish).
Where {to address} is the email account you want the form information to
be posted to.
Where {subject} is whatever you want the subject of the mail message to
read.
Any of the header fields may contain some of the data from the Web Form.

The rest of the {email template} may be formatted however you like.
The name of any INPUT field from the FORM may be contained in square
brackets ([]) and the value associated with that name will be inserted
into the email message.

So in the above example, if there was a file in
~user/public_html/webform.txt that looked like the {email template}
example, the FORM entry would be:

<FORM method=post action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/~user/webform.txt">

and if {from address} was web_form@mail.ocis.net
and {to address} was cdick@mail.ocis.net
and {subject} was Info from Web Form

and if on the Web the form was filled out with:

Name: Colin Dick
Phone: 376-3858
EMail: cdick@mail.ocis.net

The following email would be sent to cdick@mail.ocis.net

From: web_form@mail.ocis.net
To: cdick@mail.ocis.net
Subject: Info from Web Form

Name:  Colin Dick
Phone:  376-3858
EMail:  cdick@mail.ocis.net
