Form comes up but doesn't go to thank you page?

**tracyt** · 06-17-2006, 10:03 AM

HI,
I ahve produced my contact form ( with thanks to Andy123's tutorial) I can fill it out but when I hit submit it doesn't send me the email and the thank you page doesn't pop up.
Got any ideas
Thanks
Tracy

The contact page is at www.tracytresidder.com

Tracy-
Copy and post your php code so we can take a look.
To open php- open note pad and then click on File>open and navigate to the folder that holds the php file. Choose "All files" and this will make it visable. Then double click on it to have note pad open it.

Tracy-

Due to recent developments- form security has become an issue. I have not finished my new form tutorial yet- but have created for you what I will be doing in the tutorial. That in mind- check out the link below;

HI Andy,
that is excellent - thank you so much - I don't know how you do it but it certainly seems much more secure.
When you have your tutorial complete I will make the changes.
Is this the code you mean?
Sorry but I am a bit hopless at all this - I couldn't find notepad and I have no idea where these files are - I couldn't find them in the "Program files - Blue Voda website builder" folders - where else would they be?
Believe it or not I have many skills (even degrees) in lots of things - it just doesn't include computers!
Thanks for being so patient.
Cheers
Tracy

Actually - following is the script I think you might be looking for.
<script language="php">
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "tracy@tracytresidder.com";
$mailsubj = "Contact From Website";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }

**Andy128** · 06-18-2006, 05:02 AM

Tracy-

It appears that the script you posted does not have the closing tag.

Try:
<script language="php">
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "tracy@tracytresidder.com";
$mailsubj = "Contact From Website";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }
?>

If this is inside the body tag of the Page Html properties- you can simply open it up and put the ?> as shown. Also make sure to make the page a php extension.

Hope that helps.

Andy
PS- I will send you an e-mail.

Hey, Keith!
Feel up to helping Dickie out in the "Report a BV8 Bug" thread??

**tracyt** · 06-18-2006, 06:49 AM

Hi Andy,
I made the change but it still doesn't appear to work.
That script - is it mean to be in the contact page or the thank you page. I have it in the thank you page?
I haven't received your email - I know with the time difference you might be sleeping now. Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Tracy

**davidundalicia** · 06-18-2006, 05:41 PM

If andy is sleeping then I can tell you that it should be in the thankyou page
and the thankyou page needs to be opened at page properties
(right click any space on the page)
then middle left you will see a box which says "file extension"
change this to read php
then publish as normal as long as you have made the change that andy mentioned.

**tracyt** · 06-19-2006, 02:49 PM

I did all that and it still isn't working.!
Thanks for your help guys. I'm off to bed now!!
In the meantime I have put my email address up as I am part of an online conference (iNet) so want people to be able to contact me if they want to. AS soon as I get this contact thing sorted I'll take it off
Good night
Cheers
Tracy
