occasion Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 In asking this question, I really don't expect someone to give me a step by step answer. Instead I looking for a place I can begin to gain knowledge on the 'how to do it'. I would like an email to be sent to an address after the form has been completed and the submit button clicked. Very similar to submitting a ticket at the help desk. How do I begin this process? Any good sites which could help give me direction? Thanks for your assistance.

occasion Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 When I try to use dodosmail I get "page not found" while looking for *****/dodosmail.php I can go to cPanel and see the file listed. When I click on the file it shows it's name is *****/dodosmail.php In a post on Dec 5, Don said the following "First in the file test.html remove the line <input type="hidden" name="your_email_address" value="you@******"> do not add your address to the form be sure you uploaded dodsmail.php with the second line edited to your adddress and removed the two # in front of it. The file dosmail.php is not in the same place as the test.html file so the form wil not work. once you edit dosmail.php and upload it goto test.html and fill out the form and it should work. " Now this I did. Any suggestions Thanks, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) When I try to use dodosmail I get "page not found" while looking for *****/dodosmail.php I can go to cPanel and see the file listed. When I click on the file it shows it's name is *****/dodosmail.php You cannot open dodosmail.php with a browser. It is the form handler script. In a post on Dec 5, Don said the following "First in the file test.html remove the line do not add your address to the form be sure you uploaded dodsmail.php with the second line edited to your adddress and removed the two # in front of it. The file dosmail.php is not in the same place as the test.html file so the form wil not work. once you edit dosmail.php and upload it goto test.html and fill out the form and it should work. " Now this I did. Any suggestions Thanks, Ron If you did not put the dodsmail.php script in the same folder with the test.html file you need to modify the test.html file to point to the location of the script. Every form requires an "action" to be processed. I have not used dodosmail but your form should look something like this.

TCH-Don Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yep, put the test.html in the same folder as dodsmail.php and run it to make sure the form processor is working. Then you might start by modifying the test form to your own needs, and then copy the code for test.html and put it into your own page modifying the action part to lead to the path/dodsmail.php file.

woesap Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think he has UFM, already working fine... With a little help at the UFM forum ..... Richard alias ALTB(at UFM forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likoma Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I've used UFM in the past and it's been great. The email does tend to end up in my Junk/Spam box much of the time. Anyway. A question about Dodo's Mail: sent time. I have Dodo's Mail script up and running and it's great except for one thing: the email sent doesn't have a date or time so it goes to the bottom of my inbox. I see the code in dodosmail.php is as follows: >$headers .= "Date: ".date(R)."\r\n"; Anything I can do to this code to make it work? Thanks. - Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonize Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) It should be >date(r) not >date(R) ps. I had to edit this post and put it as code because for some reason this forum converts ( r ) (without spaces) into ® which is annoying.

likoma Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 That did the trick! Thank you very much for your patience with the ® and for your speedy reply. Dodos Mail seems fantastic so far. - Bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
