Here is my code...please help....

I keep getting the following error when running this script that basically emails form data to the user.

[Thu Nov 30 01:43:29 2000] [error] [client xxx.IP.add.res] Premature end of
script headers: /opt/apache/cgi-bin/dash1process.cgi

I have been able to use a simple version with just one text box successfully send an email with no problem so I know apache is configured ok. I can't for the life of me figure this one out. As per many bulletin boards I have checked permissions and syntax in the script with no success. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the code.

You should put &read sub before these lines:

&read;
# Form Variables
$flightdate = $INPUT{'flightdate'};
$departtime = $INPUT{'departtime'};
$actype = $INPUT{'actype'};
....
Otherwise your variables are empty!

In sub read {} you don't need 2nd "$value =~ tr/+/ /;" lines.
Let me know is it working now.
