The .php suggestion sounded good as I'd already had a .php script
doing something else. It was a great plan. But failed on one count.
The .php script can dynamically insert a person's name onto a web
page, to personally thank them or whatever. But for my Metacard
script to go to that web

your own or with libSmtp) feel free to contact me..

Hello Shari,
Using .php to mail something is another
option. Though I'm not sure how that would
differ from cgi.
They accomplish the same goal, e.g. web pages
generated and customized ondemand, but there are major
differences some of which I enumerate here :

Shari,
If you control the php script, you can always return simple HTML than
will render using a field's htmlText property, and display that.
You can also just search for the name in the HTML.

FWIW, PHP sometimes _is_ run as a CGI script. It's not the norm, but
PHP is just the language.
The advantage that PHP, Perl and others have it that they have commonly
installed web-server modules installed, which is basically a built-in
CGI.

Intricate, e.g. a large number of small details.

I think the mitigating factor here that's being missed somewhat
(although many of the point raised are valid), is that all of these
setups are mostly dependent on a properly-configured webserver.
If you configure things in a secure fashion, someone can write the most

Exactly my thoughts, Brian.
All other things equal, security of a metacard CGI script is no
different than

Unfortunately
Right. The only way it could become insecure is if you specifically
programmed insecurity into it. For example, a CGI that takes the
parameters that are passed and does them. Anyone who writes
something like that, though, probably deserves whatever they get. ;)

Sounds like you are getting the file off the filesystem instead of via
http. Try getting the URL
get URL http://your-site.com/your.php;
Then you will get the content after PHP is done processing it.

get your.php

actually she is getting the url, but due to the fact that she's not
passing the same information to the PHP page, she's just getting the

Hello,
I need to be able to get what is displayed,
not the raw HTML behind it.
You are in quite a pickle in this case because
MetaCard cannot display raw-HTML as what is
