Thread: Basic Form Problem

All I am trying to do is set up a basic form, to register to a mailing list.

I have Name, e-mail fields only to enter. I have created this in a basic form, a selected Action: action.php, Method: post, and Mulipart/form data

The thank you screen is named just action.php, and file extention is set to .php

This is the HTML code I have pasted into inside body tag:

<?PHP
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "realpartremoved********.co.uk";
$mailsubj = "Register";
$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);
?>

Have I messed something up along the line somewhere? and will it even work with hotmail?

What problem excactly do you have ? The script will work with any email address.

Ah yes I forgot to add the problem, the form seems to process, goes to action.php page, but no mail arrives.

Please check your spam folder. I have been using hotmail addresses with no problem. Just mailed you, please confirm that you are receiving mails ok.

This is what i got when i mailed you:

- These recipients of your message have been processed by the mail server:
realpartremoved********.co.uk; Failed; 5.1.1 (bad destination mailbox address)

Remote MTA mx2.hotmail.com: SMTP diagnostic: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable


Seems that there is something wrong with your email address.

No that's not the real mail address, I didnt want spam getting hold of it.

real is pro-punters(at)hotmail.co.uk

I still haven't fixed it, seems to send ok just dosnt appear in my mail.

Try it with an alternative email address. Or use Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor
