Submit Buttons [in forms]

**ZIonsWrath** · 11-11-2003, 08:07 PM

No I just checked and .Mac does not support PHP as well as a hand full of other things =[ Is there a way I can do the same thing through HTML? Seems to be my last option besides getting another place to host my site.

the only 'pure' html method is to put an 'action="mailto:badger@set.com"' , but this only works in 2% of cases , sorry

okay i have found a free web host that supports php and have ut my site online temporarily to work out this problem. You can visit it at:

http://www.weaponsdatabase.frandt.com/advertising

Now when I click the submit button I recieve an error message like page can not be displayed. You can get the source for the page from there and here is the PHP script I am using:

<?
// Filename: mailer.php

// Generic Emailer

// Default Settings

$redirect = "My_thank_you_page.html";

// First, detects whether info is received via form -

$recipient = "email removed";

$subject = "Advertising on WDB";

$from = "From: My Website Emailer";

$email = "
";

$data = $HTTP_POST_VARS;

foreach($data as $k => $v) {

$k = stripcslashes($k);
$v = stripcslashes($v);

$email .= "\n$k : $v";

}

mail($recipient, $subject, $email, $from);

header("Location: $redirect");

?>

Your form Action is incorrect, pointing to the wrong place. Make sure its pointed at wherever you saved mailer.php

I have all of my files in one folder. Yes it is unorganized but thats where all the files are so how can I point to it?

**QuietDean** · 11-13-2003, 06:18 PM

well, where is mailer.php ? only you know.

Is it here - http://www.weaponsdatabase.frandt.com/advertising/mailer.php ? because your form is not pointing there, its pointing at http://www.weaponsdatabase.frandt.com/mailer.php

Its working fine. You have set the $redirect to "thanks". There is no filename called thanks so it gives a 404

You should be getting emails from it. Im worried that I can see the php when I look at mailer.php tho. Sounds like its not working.

No I am not recieving emails from it. Look, I am using a mac and a program called trasmit to upload stuff here is what is currently in the wwwroot folder:

everything seems to be in the right spot.

look here -
http://www.weaponsdatabase.frandt.com/mailer.php

You can see the php source. You should not be able to, as php is processed at the server end and the results transmitted to browser. This is not happening here. Again, best to speak to your host as to why PHP is not being parsed properly.
