Lost A Directory For Php Scripting?

[marlene]

I am redoing my site so I took down all the pages that I am redoing and just want to have an index page stating that the site is being redone, and a link to the contact page should anyone want to contact me. I had the contact page working in php script before I started removing my files. After I took down the site and put up a new index.php page and reloaded the contact page, the contact form is there, but the page that the user would be returned to doesn't come up and the message does not get send to my email from the form, as it did in the past.

 

I have little to no knowledge of php and was using, with permission, a script that was written by someone else. I do not have a copy of the old contact page/script, as I over-wrote the page before I found out it didn't work. I am unable to find the contact info on that person, so I have no idea what might be wrong, either with the script on the page that I am missing something, or I inadvertantly deleted something on the back end of my site.

 

Is this possible? Is there a file/directory/whatever on the back end that php works with that I might have deleted by accident when deleting my web site files?

 

If you are interested in looking at the site it's at www.roughandreadydesigns.com/index.php. I don't know if that would help any, though.

 

Thanks in advance for anyone that can give me assistance.

Your form needs is being processed by the script contactform2.php. If you longer have a copy of this file, then just open a ticket to the desk and we can check for a backup.

Okay, maybe I was in a different dimension last night when I was working on my site. I just checked it now and the email form script appears to be working. I have no idea why it was wasn't working last night and it is now.

 

So, I will not mess with a good thing and just back away slowly from my computer.

Thanks Dick, for your quick response.

 

This is making me crazy. Okay, it's not actually "working" but it is. I am getting the email from the form, but the return page is actually my personalized error page that I made, not the page I intended for the user to see after using the form.

 

So, I'm going to have to find out why it's not returning to the thank_you.html page, even though I have it uploaded.

 

I'm going to work on this some more to see if I can figure out what's going on.

Sheesh. I'm an idiot. The return page had the wrong extension on it. The script is working properly. But...it wasn't last night!

Welcome to the forums Marlene

 

Check the contactform2.php and see what page it is directing to when it's done.
