While writing a script to do the same thing from scratch might be good practice, I don't think it is totally necessary in this case. In this case of the form mailer script it accepts the 'To:' from the post. In most form mailer scripts the email is always going to be sent to the same person. It would be easier to just change the script to hard code the To: field.

Also, you might want to rename the script so that crawlers don't find it as easily. Don't rely on this to keep you safe by any means, but at least you won't get DOSed by spammers trying (in vain) to send email through your new secured version of that script.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
