Somebody. Please help me with this contact form, ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

[crj900]

OK. I am not a programmer, i know very little about .php. I have used EVERY contact form generator on the internet it seems, nothing has worked. Could someone please tell me why this isnt working. The first quote is the .html file, and the 2nd one is the.php. The "contact.php" is replace with the correct URL when uploading.

Whats not working with it?

[crj900]

It wont send me back an email when the submit button is pressed.

[AndyB]

It wont send me back an email when the submit button is pressed.

 

Do you mean that:

 

a: nothing happens

b: the 'error' page loads

c: you do not receive the email

 

If c is the problem, what happens when you use a proper domain email address rather then a hotmail address as the receiving address, and what happens when you use a 'from' email address that corresponds to the domain where this form resides?

[crj900]

are you saying I have to use an email address that corresponds with the site? I did not know this, and its worked other wise in the past.

 

I'll try it. Thanks.

Another thing, what's with all the open p tags in the HTML code? They need to be closed:

 

<p>Text here</p>

 

And the input tags should be closed within the opening tag, like this:

 

<input type="text" name="name" />

 

I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with the mail not arriving, but you should correct the code either way.

[chocopi]

Is it because your not actually sending the email you are just storing it in a variable

 

shouldn't it be:

 

mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

 

instead of

 

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

[otuatail]

No $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

should work but you might add this before mail()

 

ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@mywebsite.co.uk");

[Ninjakreborn]

Since you don't know php, what fields are you wanting in your form?

[crj900]

just txt fields, check boxes, and txt areas. I put this together using

 

http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/

 

Its gotten great reviews so I was going crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't working for me. I'm going to go ahead and try these changes, I'll get back to you all in an hour or so.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

[crj900]

Could someone try that site out, and try to make their own contact form. I have no idea what I am doing wrong, I have put about 10 hours into this already. I changed the email address, and this still did not work. I changed to chris@chrisjenkinsinc.com, and the site im uploading it to is chrisjenkinsinc.com

 

Please help, I am willing to pay at this point via paypal.

 

Thanks.  :'(

[otuatail]

Try \r\n on the end of the <....> can cause problems

 

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>\r\n");

 

 

Desmond.

 

[crj900]

That also did not work. I am hosting with yahoo, so I know they accept php. Any other ideas? ??? ???
