Mr. Coot Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I've read through a number of threads here on cgi and php with respects to form processing. I've not been able to get any of the php form scripts to work. I keep getting 'sorry your mail did not go through, due to some problem with php server'. I tried to use the cgimail that is pre installed, but when I download it in ASCII format, it looks like gibberish, as it does when I download it in binary. I also was unable to get the ultimate mail thingy to run, it kept giving me 500 errors. I finally tried Novice Mail. I thought I had hit paydirt, as once I had configured the script for smtp and pointed towards mail.xxxxx.xxx, the script appeared to run. It returned my success page url. However, the mail does not go through. Any suggestions? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Mr. Coot, Welcome to the forums. I have not used that script before so I am not sure. Hang tight and see if someone has had experience with it. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Welcome to the forums Have you got the email address set correctly for where you are trying to send to? From the readme file; (REMEMBER THE \ BEFORE THE @ SIGN example: \@) $sendto = "sendto\@******"; CORRECT WAY!!!! $sendto = "sendto@******"; WILL NOT WORK!!!! If you are using "SMTP" rather than "sendmail" you will need to add a valid email address and password to authenticate that you are a valid account to send emails. If you PM me with your domain name, I'll have a quick look, and see if I can see the issue. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Having had a quick look, I would set it to use the sendmail option, and the following location for the sendmail. $useLib = "sendmail"; $mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; ## $mailprog Is the path to sendmail on your server ## Quote

TCH-Don Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Welcome to the forum, Mr. Coot Hope you are all set with the e-mail form if not let us know and we will get you going. Quote
Mr. Coot Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 You guys are quick. Thanks very much Andy for solving this for me. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 You're welcome I'm glad it's all working for you Quote
