    Lost for a solution

    Hi,

    The site URL


    I have created a form using the wizard - /contact.php

    The form sends the detail off the form to the correct email - but yet when clicking the submit button it
    gives 404 error.
    I assume that this means it cannot find the /success.html form.
    I have looked and relooked - but must be missing something - can some one make a suggstion as to why this
    does not continue to the /sucess.html form but yet sends the contact information to my email
    Thank you

    You must manually CREATE a "Success" page and publish it using normal publishing procedures ... make a page using your page layout, and simply put something like "Thank you for your communication. Pleas allow up to 24 hours for a personal reply" as the message on the page, and publish it separately.

    YOUR SITE sends the Form, but there is no "Success" Page on the server for the script to "find" to display afterwards!

    Be sure to check that you have reset in PAGE PROPERTIES the PUBLISH PAGE AS back to HTML from the PHP selection required for the FROM page.

    ONCE AGAIN ... this is likely due to not paying close attention to the Tutorials ... you can pause them at any time in order to do each task yourself in real-time, and then resume to the next step, you know ....

      Hi Vasili,

      Well, I'm not sure I agree with you about my paying attention - I did indeed create the sucess and error pages manually
      I have read your chastisement meeted out to the naughty peopel who dont pay attention, so I truly had tried to be extra vigilant so as not to be subjected the wrath of your comments - however, I have redone all and spent another 3 or 4 hours looking over and listening to the video -
      I CAN NOT SEE WHAT IS WRONG -SO PLEASE HELP - I UNDERSTAND THAT I COULD BE A NUISANCE, BUT WHERE ELSE SHALL I GO - I do not have your knowldge and can simply not find the error, so I shall again accept whatever you may say to me as long as I can get this sorted out- bellieve me i treid without having to return to you for further advice.
      I can not get it right so please help.

      I am grateful for you help and accept my lack of knowledge.


      having redone everything my error message comes up as follows- I can not begin to understand what this means.

      Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/rbtjohei/public_html/emarketingsa.com/contact.php on line 80

      thank you again.

        /profile.html
        /contact.php
        /success.html
        /error.html
        Subsequent to my above reply i have redone all again spending hours and hours trying to get by without having to ask - but no joy - now the forms work and the sucess page appears but it dends no information off the form - it sends only the following

        Values submitted from web site form:
        IP Address : 41.31.106.69

        What have I done wrong?

        thank you

            Open the form properties and set the Encoding type to multipart/form-data also set at least 1 or 2 fields to be validated and maybe a captcha, this will reduce the amount of spam emails.

              Make sure you don't have a quote ' or " in your Subject or other field of the form processor properties.
