php mailform problem

[mr2nut]

I've just uploaded a website and when I fill in the form and then click submit it should load feedback.php and send the mail to the user and say thank you etc. What i'm getting is 'this URL cannot be found feedback.php'

Now I tried this locally on my machine with PHP and it seemed to work fine. My host (webfusion) seems to say on their site that PHP is supported on the starter pack under Linux hosting but NOT Windows hosting. I have gone for the Linux hosting so this should be ok. Any ideas?

Just to make sure i'm not been stupid, I shouldn't need SQL to support a php mailform, just PHP on their server right? Here's the link to the package I went for....

Is this ok for what I need?

Yea as long as you've got PHP enabled it shoudl be fine.

Firstly, ar4e you getting the email that it should send?

You need to work pout where in the script it is going wrong. So if you've got the email then its just the redirection thats wrong in which case its probably a simple error in the link.

Try using an absolute URL rather than a relative one.

Fee free to post up your code on here for us to take a look.

First of all, thanks for the quick reply. Really good forum is this.

I'm not sure what you mean by absolute URL. Do you mean substitute 'feedback.php' to 'mydomain.co.uk/feedback.html'?

I'll post my code up soon as i'm on my Mac at the moment and the code is on my PC. Got a few server problems at work so will have to sort them out first

Ah right. Yea I mean if at the moment it says:

/feedback.php

change it to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/feedback.php

that might solve it

Just tried that right quickly and set it as you suggested but still no joy Do you mind checking my previous posts link to Webfusions starter plus pack and just double check i'm right in thinking that i've got PHP?

[mr2nut]

lmao! Your not going to believe this. I've just realised i've got a Linux host and it is k sensitive....I'm sure you can figure out what I did wrong

[1840dsgn]

Yea I've had a look and you've definitely got access to PHP 4 and 5.

Are you receiving the email that you should get?

As I say the easiest way would be tyo post the code up when you can...

You got my 500th post!

Yea mate it's all working spot on now. Cheers for your input though, could quite easily have been the link in the php changing to domain. Couldn't believe it once I had realised, I could have kicked myself but I suppose it's my first decent website and first attempt at php etc. But still, what a !

Well if i'm being honest I nicked the code from a php mail wizard I found on the net but ssshhhhh

I really do want to look into more css and php stuff but if you ever need anything you can just find templates and build upon them rather than having to do all the hard work at first lol. I'm a 3rd line teccy and working towards MCSE so web development isn't a high priority of mine just yet. I know some basic IIS and that's all I need to know really for now.
