Email form not submitting. What have I done wrong this time? =D

Each time I build a page from scratch with UE, there is always something I do wrong! Tut!!

Basically, the page I have attached has a form with spry validation and a CAPTCHA with server validation and the UE code in place… basically everything needed to validate and send the email should be in place on this page.

When I try to test the page, specifically the CAPTCHA by entering the wrong details, the page seems to just refresh itself without giving me the warning that the security code is incorrect. What have I done wrong for this to not work?

Thanks.

PS: I've just tested it with the correct security code on the live server and it didn't seem to work either! I've obviously got something very wrong...

the code looks correct.

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

See private message then… thank you.

Just a thought; have I got the code on the CAPTCHA server validation the right way around? The text box is to be like the security code isn't it! Is that how I have applied it?

in the form tag:
<form action="mailing-list.php" enctype="text/plain" id="Mailing List" method="post" name="Mailing List">


the encoding type was set to text/plain

i removed the encoding type to fix the problem.

<form action="mailing-list.php" id="Mailing List" method="post" name="Mailing List">

Aha… I see you've responded as I was updating my previous reply.

Thanks as always Jason.

you're welcome.

Oddly, the form is now submitting, but it isn't submitting and retaining the web address… what I am getting is mailing-list-thanks.php rather than website.com/mailing-list-thanks.php. Basically, it's scrubbing the domain name and giving me a server not found error.

Why is this?

For the time being I have overcome this by adding the full web address to the UE code on the $GoToPage.

add a forward slash to the go to address:

$GoToPage = "/pagename.php";

Oh, OK then.

That's not what normally has to happen though is it? Other sites I've done this with haven't had to have the domain name or / applied to the GoToPage… is this just one of those things that has no rhyme or reason behind it do you think?

" is this just one of those things that has no rhyme or reason behind it do you think?"


yup, some sites don't need the slash, some do....
