Mr_J · October 19, 2009

Hi all, I found this and used it to send mail. Simple contact form with some required fields. The validation works a bit but I don't get the mail :wtf:

HTML:some Javascript...

<form method=post enctype=multipart/form-data action=processor.php onSubmit="return validatePage1();"><ul class=mainForm id="mainForm_1">

The form use "PROCESSOR.PHP"

Do you have error reporting turned on? Have you checked your 'Junk Mail' folder? Are you running it on localhost or a live remote server? Does the contents of confirm.html appear on screen?

Mr_J · October 19, 2009

Do you have error reporting turned on?

Good idea , will switch it on...

Have you checked your 'Junk Mail' folder?

Yes, no mail!!

Are you running it on localhost or a live remote server?

Live remote server, I have apache installed on vista but this is on my live server...

Does the contents of confirm.html appear on screen?

confirm.html = perfect incl. my window.close() function...

The mail function returns true or false based on if it sent successfully so it's worth checking what it returns (note that the value yes doesn't mean the user recieved it, only that it successfully sent). Obviously error reporting may give you some more information. One thing worth trying is using php_info() and checking the SMTP settings for your server are setup correctly. Another thing worth doing is using $headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n"; as your 4th parameter.

I`ll move the site to another hosting quickly, lucily I have more than 1 host so I will report back. I have a feeling it is the host...

Mr_J · October 19, 2009

No go!!

No error, my confirm = = 100%

I have another mail form on the same server, working! I will just mod that one then...

Thanks guys
