    Form Assistance Required

    My web site is www.new-generic-******.com ID#15576..I have read most of the forums relating to this problem, however I know am doing some thing simple wrong..I have followed the tutorials to the T...Tried using advice to others and am still stuck.

    It just does not work..Form properties is correct...yes I installed action.php. Placed all into one large form area.including submit button.

    I am not using Outlook Express for my email. Does that cause a problem?

    <?PHP
    $mailto = "mdventures@netzero.com";
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
    if ($email == "") {
    $email = $mailto
    }
    $mailsubj = "Comments";
    $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
    reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
    $mailbody = "Thank you for contacting us.Will reply soon :\n";
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
    {

    Somebody check the above please this is getting too long..Thanks Dave

    Re: Form trouble still

    Your contact for does not have an action. You may have made the action page but the form doesn't know that.

    Also if the php code you have above is everything that is in the php script (your action page) then it is not going to work. What you posted it incomplete.

    Oh and your submit button is no connected to the form. It is outside of the form field

    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

      Also the encoding type is wrong (should be multipart/form data instead of text/plain) and the Name field has the default value of "Editbox1". The text area also is unnamed and out of the form.

        Re: Form trouble still

        Thanks for the help...I deleted both the contact form and action page and started over fresh....Made sure the form was large enough to cover everything. redid the action page also. Published.....Tried it...it sent two emails to mdventures....from mdventures.....1st one said Value submittted from web page....2nd said 250 words or less....No message, and no email address or name. I assume the problem is with the html...Any ideas? It has refused to send any more no matter what I do. Thanks Dave

          Did you change the enctype to multipart/form like naval said?

            Re: Form trouble still

            Are we talking about the "contact.html" ? If yes, NONE of the above points have been fixed. Did you republishe the fixed pages ?

                Re: Form trouble still

                Me again...was checking html on contact page and discovered spelling error in an address, plus some other information that should not be in there. I can not get any html down to the edit area.(the part that i want to delete or correct the spelling.)

                How do I delete every thing and start over new?
                Thanks Dave

                  Re: Form trouble still

                  Is this the "action" page code ? if yes, then it is correct, though.

                  However, your FORM page is still the same. Have a look at the source code in your browser to see for yourself that the mistakes in the form have NOT been edited.

                  Maybe you have published the "contact" page as php ? because i also find a "contact.php" page in your site (with yet other problems)

                  Make sure you edited the "contact" page in BV, publish it as html. Then open the above code page, save it as "action" and publish it as php.

                    Re: Form Assistance Required

                    It's me again with a big smile on my face.

                    I finally got into cpanel, and deleted all the things that were not required.

                    Built a new contact us page and a new action.php page, and now it looks like every thing is working good, just the way it should...

                    Thanks to all that helped out.

                    Dave
