    I'd recommend either Perl or PHP. If you don't know any programming though you could do a search on some CGI archive for what your looking for.

    if your server supports php (and about 70% of apache servers have mod_php installed last i read) then this should work:

    in your form page:

    <FORM NAME="doname" METHOD="post" action="control.php">
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="first_name" SIZE="32" MAXSIZE="32">

    and then in control.php or any subsequent pages included by control.php you can reference your form variable by just using $first_name within php tags:

    <P>Hello <?php echo $first_name; ?>
