troll2555 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I am actually only trying to do what I initally thought was a simple contact form on my web page. There are thousands of contact me pages out there, but I can't seem to find any that will either work on my site. For some reason, this has become immensely complicated. Research 'seemed" to indicate that php was the only way to go on this as a simple email me would not give my customer the ability to see what information I needed to make an offer to buy his book.Please, someone tell me how to beat this thing. It is the last item I need so I can get back to the business of selling books, and out of the part about web page building.Yes, I am begging here for help, but I have been working on this for a week now and it is draining me.

xAtlas Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 [quote author=troll2555 link=topic=103874.msg414093#msg414093 date=1155322071]I do...ThankYou.htm[/quote]Is the the ThankYou.htm in the home directory of the script?Can you do me a favor? post the HTM portion of this script. Make sure that this is correct:[code]<form method="POST" action="contact.php">[/code]action="contact.php" or whatever you named the PHP file to. I just tested this and it works fine now. It did the same thing as your because the 'action=' wasn't contact.php (which is what I had generated).

AndyB Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Uploaded both your files to my server. It works perfectly and sends me the email message.There's something wrong with the mail set-up on your server. Contact your hosting service provider and ask.
