FORM HELP - Page 2

**Mr. Tech** · 3rd April 2003, 08:15 AM

I tested the form and got a 405 error Resource not allowed. This may be because PHP is not enabled or something. I suggest you check with your host.

If it is try replacing:

@mail($your_email, $your_subject, $inside_mail, "From: \"$Name\"<$Email_Address>[size=6]\r\nReply-To: $Email_Address\r\nX-Sender:$Name using $Email_Address\r\nReturn-Path: $Email_Address");

with:

mail($your_email, $your_subject, $inside_mail, "From: $Name <$Email_Address>");

?>

The part that is larger is the part that frontpage is indicating there is a problem.

Any help you could offer is appreciated!

I checked with my host and got the following response:

Thank you for contacting Technical Support. We apologize for the issue you are experiencing. PHP is running on your server. However please note that we do not troubleshoot scripts. The extent of our support is that a phpinfo script runs without error.

I am a little lost at this point![/quote]

What did they say our the 405 error?

CABucklin · 4th April 2003, 07:58 AM

They didn't respond to that question - I have asked again. Will post the reply once I get it.

**Mr. Tech** · 4th April 2003, 08:00 AM

OK, did you get any emails sent to you even with the 405 error?

CABucklin · 4th April 2003, 08:00 AM

nope - nothing. just the 405 error

Contrary to the information given to you before, PHP is NOT supported on our Windows2000 servers, which is what this account is located on. PHP is supported on our Unix servers. I apologize for the confusion. Please reopen this ticket or give us a call if you have any questions. Thank you for contacting Technical Support.

...what I received from my host!

**Mr. Tech** · 5th April 2003, 09:22 AM

oh.... Does your host support any other languages?

You need to have some sort of script to send a proper email to you...

Does your host have any pre-made scripts to put on your site?

I have cgi and asp available ... I'll check with my host and see what else is supported.

As far as I know - they don't offer any pre-made scripts that would work in this situation.

You are able to use ASP, cgi scripts, perl, HTML.

We only offer one script to our customers, this is also located in your admin console. It is called Formmail.pl, from the admin page you install it, which inserts a perl script into your cgi-bin. Then you are more than welcome to cut and paste our code to create a form on your site. This form will allow customers to fill out a form and get a confirmation page, then the information is sent to a specified e-mail address

Is there a script out there that will do what I want in a language I can use? I'm searching, but not having much luck
