    advice pls

    being new to all this i'm having teething troubles......hoping for some kind advice.

    my problems are :

    1) got my domain name electricalwholesaler.org.uk have transferred DNS to ns1 & ns2.vodahost.com eventually!I published the index file and after an hour or so was able to type in above address and see my work (chuffed to bits, please don't laugh) however, having told a few people the addy none of them see my home page but LCN domain page (were i bought the name) I however get the page every time?

    2) having reworked the index page and published how do i update the old index file to be my default page?

    3) also find cp very confusing and want to sell thing on my site and was told there was a progam in cp to add a basket and checkout etc?

    many thanks in advance!

    1) The web site looks fine to me.

    2) The old index page would have been overwritten when you published the new one, if you want to go back to the way it was before you will have to edit the page again and publish.

    3) We suggest using paypal for a shopping cart.

                Just copy the script
                Place this code in 'Beginnig of body':

                <?PHP
                $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
                $mailto = "your email address";
                $mailsubj = "Email";
                $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
                reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
                $mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
                while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
                {
                $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
                }
                mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
                ?>


                should then send as auto email

                  This was made by the BV Team, alot of use are using this system...thats why they rock!!

                  or use this example script that processes your form succesfully using a generic PHP script.

                  Instructions:
                  Change the form properties (in BlueVoda) to:
                  Action: FEEDBACK.PHP
                  Method: POST
                  EncodingType:
                  (remove the text/plain, so the field becomes empty)

                  Now create a new file using Notepad and call it: FEEDBACK.PHP
                  Enter the following code into the file:


                  Code:
                  &lt;HTML>
                  &lt;HEAD>
                  &lt;TITLE>Thank you for your feedback&lt;/TITLE>
                  &lt;/HEAD>
                  &lt;BODY>
                  &lt;H2>Thank you for your feedback!&lt;/H2>
                  &lt;?PHP
                  $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
                  $mailto = "feedback@yourdomain.com";
                  $mailsubj = "Feedback form";
                  $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
                  reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
                  $mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
                  while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
                  {
                  $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
                  }
                  mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
                  ?>
                  &lt;/BODY>
                  &lt;/HEAD>

                  Upload this file to your domain.

                      when you say 'begining of body' what / where do you mean? sorry if this a stupid question! i have no knowledge of the language below (which is why this is so good )

                      I have uploaded the feedback.php file but when i fill in the form on my techincal page is says page not found. do i need to move the file anywhere?

                      sorry for asking these questions.

                          found 'begining of body' in page html but can't see to get it to do anything different than above :(

                            Hi dean,

                            use one or the other, ie. either in the head or as php, I think the php file is better(just a personel thing). you do then need to up-load into your public folder the php file.

                            Then change action point on your form to feedback.php

                              cheers maddog I was ready to give in! but got it sorted, i was doing it right all along. problem was in the script had &%; or something, instead of <.

                              I set it up to go to aol email and wasn't recieving email after being submitted but the nice sarah told me it was going into my spam folder and working all the time, once changed to my web site email it works fine - provide you've only got 2 boxes of info. how do you increase the amount of info sent in a email any clues?

                              now i'm gonna try adding a cart but don't have much confidence! i dare say i'll be on here very shortly ! lol

                              cheers anyway.
