mamaluke Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Is this possible to do?Is it possible to send a formmail script form RIPWAY.net or 110MB.com because I know they support free php, but every time I try to use this it wont work.I know everything is coded right because when I used this formmail script on the website I got it off of (they have it so you can use it to test it) It works fine....

ober Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Do you know if the free hosts support the mail function? They may have it disabled. Put a script on that free host with nothing but the phpinfo function in it (with PHP tags of course) and look through it.

I have gone through so many tutorials on how to make these the last couple days IM going crazy. So many people are telling me different ways on how to do this. Isnt there just a way which works the best? What im doing is gonna have it on a flash site, which I know how to go from flash to the formmail script and I just want it to send the mail to my gmail account. Even if I dont use it on flash can you please show me a simple way to just send a two textinput boxes. Also if im using ripway.com my sites url is [a href=\"http://h1.ripway.com/jimread/formmail.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://h1.ripway.com/jimread/formmail.php[/a] does this mean in the spot where I have to put my website i have to put [a href=\"http://h1.ripway.com/?\" target=\"_blank\"]http://h1.ripway.com/?[/a]? Im so confused please help me Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/9767-sending-formmailphp-from-free-host/#findComment-36220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm not going to give you a full example, but it's really quite simple. If you want an example of how to setup a HTML form, you can use my personal site as an example: [a href=\"http://www.whproductions.com/index.php?req=contact\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.whproductions.com/index.php?req=contact[/a]Just view the source of the page. As far as the processing page, it's nothing more than following the mail() function example from the PHP manual. You'll find a link to the manual in my sig.
