[SOLVED] contact form not working

callie212 · December 13, 2007

I am having trouble getting this form to work. It appears to work, but I do not get the email.

I would appreciate any help. The form is located at www.factorytimes.com/contact.php

Here is my HTML file:

I am probably making a simple mistake, because it seems like I have everything right. I want to make sure that when the echo statement displays you still see the general site, not a blank white background with black text, so I imputed the PHP code in the processcontact.php file in a cell, but I don't know if this is the problem.

Outside of this form, do you have other scripts that call mail() and work properly?

I have one other form, but I have the same problem. I think that the issue may be with my server. This site is hosted by my school and I just uploaded the files to a personal server and it worked. I will probably have to figure out who can help me with the PHP settings on the server. I saw an article on the web about safe_mode needing to be OFF and its listed as ON.

I am putting just the process scripts on my personal server and using the absolute links until I can get the problem fixed because its working that way. Thanks.
