Thread: Form not sending values or leading to success or failure pages

Grrrr, this form is driving me mad! Hope someone can point out my error to me...I used the Form wizard and watched the tutorial, too.

My form is on this page: www.wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/tell_us_what_you_think_.php

I think my success page is www.wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/action.html

Buit when I submit a response to the form using the submit button, the meail comes through with no values in it and I get a 404 Not Found error page.

Would be very grateful for help! Thanks. Stephanie

Your success page should be action.php Otherwise the script wont run. I also cant find the page on the first link. You shouldnt put spaces in page names. Keep it as simple as possible.

Sorry - not sure what you mean by the page on the first link? (Do you mean from the home page - I haven't linked it yet, won't do until it works). I've now uploaded action.php but no joy. (They're not spaces in the page name, but underscores). When I press the submit button the url displayed is the same as my page with the form...?

Further to my last message...I now get the correct success page but when the email comes in there are no values submitted...getting closer I guess. Any suggestions as to what I need to do now? Thanks

the link to the form is not working....where is the form in question ?¿

The form is here: http://www.wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/te..._you_think.php

I meant i couldnt find the form page.

Ok, sorry, it's here: http://www.wholeschoolmeals.co.uk/te..._you_think.php (underscores between the words in the file names)

Where are you getting this script? If its Navals ... you have to have an email field named EMAIL for it to work properly. Except email must be lower case

Karen

I used the Form wizard. So even though I don't need the email address of the person completing the form, I still need to ask for it?

Yes.. if you are using the old method... But then why are you using action.php? If you are using the form wizard why not use the built in php script to send the form to an email address?

Karen

Hmmm...well I've called it action.php because I had done that previously before the wizard. So I think that's just a name, now, I'm not adding any code anywhere, just relying on the wizard. It's just that I called the success page action.
Did you hit the submit button by the way?! I've just had an email in that does contain values so maybe it's working now! Will go and try myself. Thanks for your help, by the way, much appreciated.

That blank email was from me when I tested your form........

Well if you use the form wizard... name it success.html or else change the name of the page in the form properties for the success page. You dont do any of the OLD way at all if you are using the form wizard. Thats why you use it.. you dont have to add any scripts.

Karen

oh ok thanks! The wretched thing still isn't working though!! Could you try again and put some data in? I'm completely stumped now. It's 11pm here so I'm going to bed now and will get back to it in the morning! Thanks for your help.
