Re: Problems with Contact Page

You need to go to:

http://www.vodahost.com/tut_bluevoda.htm

and review totally
Forms (1)
and
Forms(2)

this will guide you on how to set up a form

Looking at your page it seems you have placed
the form details on your page but have not actually set it up

take a look at the tutorials above

Re: Problems with Contact Page

I read and listened to the tutorials at least a dozen times and can't see where i failed to follow the instructions. Here is the page URL, maybe that will help setting me straight.
http://www.machiningbythebook.com/webworldaffiliates/Contact%20Us.html

I've already spent two full days trying to get it done but to no avail. Thanks for any help you can offer. regards, David

Re: Problems with Contact Page

Here's the message I get when I press Submit Button:

The requested URL /action.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Re: Problems with Contact Page

Did you design your "thankyou" page and insert the coding into it.

This is the coding that is required, you need to edit the black text

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

"Form Application : change this to whatever you want
the subject to be in your notification email

Your thankyou page must be a PHP not html
then save page as action

to do this:
while your "thank you" page is open in your
voda builder right click anywhere on page and
select page properties , then make sure that
"file extension" displays "php", then click OK

now save page as action then publish

Your form should work ok now

Re: Problems with Contact Page

Done this, now the error message I get is :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/ftmqzxz/public_html/webworldaffiliates/action.php on line 41

Any more suggestions? David

Re: Problems with Contact Page

Yo have probably forgotten the closing php tag ?> in the code you pasted in your action page
