I used the script from the php mailto security tutorial, but have also tried the bluevoda one and that didn't work.

is there something simple i'm not doing?!?!

I do not see anything wrong with the code. I did a test and the error checking worked fine.

Try creating an email account in BV cpanel. Then replace the;

Quote:

blueskies.photo@iinet.net.au

With the Blue voda one in the php script.

The reason is that perhaps it is not getting through to that particular email address due to being blocked. Or maybe it is even showing up in the spam folder. But if it does show up in the Blue Voda email account- then you can have it forwarded to the other e-mail.

Other than that- the code appears correct.

cheers for the suggestion.

I've set up an email through cpanel - michelle@blueskiesphotography.com.au and configured it to work in outlook. i've also unblocked port 25 through my ISP and its working fine. have changed the html in the page to new email addy but still not receiving emails from form?
