Form Scripts

Form Mail

This script is the one I use personally on all of my domains. It's very easy to configure, and is worl usable. It only requires 4 fields - recipient, subject, username and realname.

Form Mail

This is another popular forms script from the now famous Matt's Script Archive. Another easy to use script that is very flexible.

Guest Books

Book of Guests

This is a great guestbook script supplied by Dream Catcher's CGI Scripts. I used this before i wrote my own. Very easy to setup and employ.

Guest Book

This is another great script from Matt. I used this for the beachin.net page that I built.

Counters

WWW Home Page Access Counter

If you are a sysadmin, I highly recommend you check this program out. It's purely awesome. Removes the need for users to have to use the free counters available on the web that are slow and cumbersome. And you can use a ton of digits with it.

Simple Counter

This is another script from Dream Catcher's CGI Scripts. The nice thing about this script is that it doesn't need an external program running to count the hits.

Search Engines and Scripts

Swish

Swish is an excellent way to make your page or site searchable. It indexes your site, than all you need is a script to access the index. I use it for my tablature page. Try it out.

WebGlimpse

Another excellent search engine for web pages. It allows you to insert search references on all pages to search that page or your whole site.

Simple Search

The name says it all. Allows a basic boolean search of all .html files on a server. This is also taken from Matt's Script Archive.

Various Scripts

CGI-lib.pl

This script allows the processing of certain information from the server. It's excellent for forms, system analyzation, and more. For more information, visit the official home page.

Free Linkage

This allows people to freely ad links to a web page via forms. It works basically like a guestbook, but just without the name, email address, etc. I use it here. Take a look.

Navigator

This script allows users to use a drop down list to pick a URL to go to and submit it to go to that page. This has become very popular, and it also foregoes the use of JavaScript in order to accomplish it. Nice!

Pick URL

The same thing as above, just a little different layout. Still a great script to use.

Random Image

This allows a random graphic to load on the page desired. I use it on my comics page to load various cover graphics.

Random Link

Have a random link on your page. Fill in a text file with the various links you want. When the script is started, it will randomly read one and load it.

SSI Random Image

Another random image script, but this requires SSI (Server Side Includes). If you're not sure what this is, you can look here or ask your local systems administrator or webmaster for help.

Upload Script

This neat script allows people to upload files to your server through Netscape 2.X+ browsers. Great if you accept contributions or files, and would like to allow users to be able to do this through their browser.

Message Board

Your basic bulletin board-like script. Allows postings of messages and replies. Almost like newsgroups.
