Thread: Email syntax problem

ok so bluevoda is so easy to use. I dont know if this is a problem n BV or iternet Explorers security issues.

Ok, so i make the form a comment from.

Name-----
Email-----

Comments TextBox-----------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
[SEND]

that what it looks like sorta.

i put in the syntax
Mailto: soandso******.com

works good until i test it
then it brings up you're sending this to email so on and so forth
then Outlook Express opens!

So is it BV or operator error internet explorer or what????
if you can help that would be fantastic!

Please read carefully BlueVoda Forms Tutorial Part 1

You will see that the "mailto:....." method has these problems,. We're testually saying there:

Important Note:

Although the above multimedia tutorial mentions the use of the "mailto:" as form action, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND this type of processing of the form info.
This is because this method, depending on your email client (Outlook Express or other) settings, MAY FAIL to process the info and send the email, and will also give Privacy warning messages to your visitor. We recommend the use of a PHP script instead.

and then step by step instructions on how to create such a script, are given.

Or, use Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor

ah i see, thanks naveldesign! A year of this trial and error has been solved!

Action.php does not work only in one Form. I think I set thing right in my Form because other Forms with the same set up function well.

The case is question is:

I set a Form Post Classifieds. Set everything in order.
At first I set the php submission to my email Id in the main domain name. i.e: classifieds@raajayogam.com
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/fddyzkh/public_html/classifieds/action.php on line 34
The above error showed up.

Then I created an email in the Sub-Domain Name: adv@classifieds.raajayogam.com

Again the same error appears.

Can you help.?

Email syntax problem in Form Processing. (second post)

Sorry. I was thinking but have failed to mention in my post.

The Form is question is created in a sub-domain and the email Id. first I tried resides in the main domain http://www.raajayogam.com.

I thought may be action.php in another folder (sub-domain) fails to recognize the email Id in the main domain.

Hence I created an email Id. in the sub-domain and accordingly corrected the mail Id name in page_html in action.php page.

Still it shows the same error as below:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/fddyzkh/public_html/classifieds/action.php on line 34

Help me sort out please.

No, that has nothing to do. A purse error is ALWAYS due to an error in your syntax: you have missed or added something that causes the error. Post here your ENTIRE page code and we will have a look.

You are right Naval. I should have made some spelling error while typing. I didn't further break my head with it. Simply deleted the entire input of code inside body tag and replaced it afresh. Now it's okay. Thank you
