Hi,
I am not a programmer. I'm just a beginner web designer & I saw
your scripts. I don't konw how to use any of them? What should I
do?
The way I have my form now is thru cgimail using a text file that
sends an email out to the applicant & to bcc to me.
I need to add an ID number that should be generated automatically.
So I thought of using date&time combined to do so. But I don't
know how to add the date to my cgi text file?
The form I have is on: www.mwa.marsds.com
here is a copy of the text file I use:
From: app@marsds.com
To: [Email]
BCC: app@marsds.com
Subject: MWA Application from [Name]

Here's a version of the function we use to assign a unique ID to Feedback messages
unique-code: func [date /local to-2dig base s1 s2] [
to-2-dig: func [val] [either val < 10 [rejoin ["0" val][form val]
base: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
rejoin [
pick base date/year - 1999
pick base date/month + 1
pick base date/day + 1
pick base date/time/hour + 1
to-2-dig date/time/minute
to-2-dig s1: to-integer s2: date/time/second
pick base to-integer s2 - s1 * 36 + 1
random/secure/only base ;; in case 2 in same second
random/secure/only base ;; in case 2 in same second
