Hi

using css form builder v2

contact.php

the form validates and sends me to my thankyou page but no emails are received.

Cant remember how to show errors

As a secondary how do you increase the size of the submoit button?

thanks

Hi

the script below works OK

I know fasthosts needs the -f switch and I have it at line 296 of mail_php.php

if ($mailObj->useAddParams) {
$mailObj = @mail($mailTo,$mailSubject,$mailContent,$mailHeader,"-f".$mailFrom);

All rather confusing

cheers

Ian

<?
if (! empty($_POST['email']) )
{
$message=$_POST["message"];
$email=$_POST["email"];
$fname=$_POST["fname"];
$sname=$_POST["sname"];
$fromadd=$_POST["fromadd"];

$content = "You have a New Message From {$fname} {$sname}: {$message}";

ini_set("sendmail_from" , $fromadd);
$mailSent = false;
$mailSent = mail( $email, "Website Test Contact Form", $content, "From: $fromadd", "-f".$fromadd );

if ($mailSent)
{
echo 'Mail sent';
}
else

echo 'Problem';

Double click on the universal Email server behavior.

Click the folder icon and check the box to include the from address as an extra parameter.

make sure that the from address is a valid address for your domain.

<?php echo((isset($_POST["Email_Address"]))?$_POST["Email_Address"]:"") ?>

in the first field. Forgot I should put a local domain email address

thanks
