Email does not contain info submitted

I made a form and everything seems to be working. I receive an email saying "Values submitted from web site form", but that is it. No information!!! Help!

I noticed you have a message on your form saying 'currently not working' I don't think this is true.

I get this sometimes on my forms. All that is happening is when someone lands on your action.php page WITHOUT going through your contact form page first, it sends out a message to send you an email, hence you receive nothing on it. If I remember correctly this could be even the SE's robot's hitting this page. I think George (Naval) will come along soon and tell you the exact problem, but I am certain that no one is sending you an email through your form and you are not receiving it, so I would remove your 'not working' sign.

Not sure if there is a fix for this, but if there is I will keep an eye on this thread as I get these all the time.

So much "discussion"! LOL

Please post the "action" script for your email form so we can have a look at it.

I filled out the form myself to test it and that is when I received the email without any of the info that I put in it.

<?PHP $mailto = "abcgiftboutique********.com"; $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email']; if ($email == "") { $email = $mailto; } $mailsubj = "ORDER"; $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); ?>

I have just emailed you through your form, tell me if you receive it.

Your email "element" fields are improperly labelled: review the instructions in particular here, and here once again.

Possible problems:
1. There is no FORM formatting "grid" under your "fields"
2. You have not filled out the Name, Email, etc. attribute boxes in Properties of each properly. (especially the email box)
3. Your FORM formatting "grid" is not fully under the fields ........

Do the due diligence of double-checking your work and trouble-shooting by reviewing the instructions carefully.

Or, to better clarify some of the things Vasili is saying, you have used BlueVoda to create the form, then you have copy / pasted it somewhere in order to be able to publish on a non VH account. Pasting it there has changed some of it's attributes.

There is no problem helping non VH customers, BUT there IS a problem when you use BV to create a site for a non VH account.

If i am wrong, please let me know. I apologise in advance.
