email doesn't send

After correcting all the conflicts in the support ticket, I still don't get an email when the form is submitted. The error report code is there, but it doesn't report any errors. Link checker reports no bad links.

Files are attached.

your form page is set to post to the form results page.
This will never trigger the email behavior.

Set the form page to post to itself then set universal email to redirect to the results page after sending the email.

Changed the action to form.php page and redirect to formresults.php - still don't get an email, and session variables don't work either. Once the action is back to formresults.php the session data works but still no email.

Files are attached.

The code to set the session variables should be moved to the form page, and the forms action needs to be set to post to itself.


In the Universal Email wizard, you need to enter the proper smtp server to use for your hosting provider, contact your hosting provider for an smtp server address to use.

After moving the session info to the form.php page, changing action to form.php, redirecting to formresults.php, and entering smtp info, I get the following:

No redirect to formresults. Page just returns to itself and clears out the data. Tried several configs of redirect url with no luck.

Used the smtp server info from my Mail account, so the email will come back to me; no luck.

Files are attached.

the redirect is failing due to the blank line at line 11.


The smtp server form your emai probably wont work.


you need to use your web hosts smtp server, you need to contact them to determine what server can be used to send email from a php script.

Session variables not going through since session info moved to form page. Thought it might be the 'session_start' at top of formresults page was creating new session, but no other php configuration worked either.

Got server info from host; still no email. Not sure what 'return path' should be. UE manual doesn't reference this one.

New files attached.

you have the forms action set to post to a differant form.php page:

<form action="../form.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="GenericForm" target="_self" class="formtext" id="GenericForm">


change that to:
<form action="form.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="GenericForm" target="_self" class="formtext" id="GenericForm">


I dont think you need to use the application/x-www-form-urlencoded encodeing type either

Same result on everything - no session data, no email.

for the session:
your session start line should be:

if(!session_id()) session_start();

your host may have an issue with session management. to test use the sessiontest page from the following thread:
showpost.php?p=23826&postcount=2


for the email, are you being redirected to the formresults page?


if so, the email is being sent to the smtp server. It is the smtp server that is not relaying the email for some reason. Contact the host to see if they will look intobthe smtp server error logs to see why the server is not relaying the email.
