Hello Parker,

This is a great template, thanks for sharing it with us.

You descriptions are clear and perfect. However, i’m not very good with php contact forms and seem to be struggling with this one.

I’ve uploaded all files to server as requested and every time i try to test the contact email form i get the error message “sorry.. try again”. i’m not sure what the problem is.

Help!!

Regards, Ehab

Hi,

I checked it, everything looks fine. Does your server support the mail function of php? Try to ask to your ISP support if mail() is supported.

Hi Parker,

I have used php on my server before and it does support it. What I have noticed on the sendMail.php file whenever I open it in Dreamweaver. I get this error (An unknown error occurred while discovering dynamically-related files.) . it can’t discover it…..any ideas on how to debug it? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

the file I checked on your server didn’t have any error. For now, use the original sendMail.php without editing it… let’s see if it works.

ps

Did you remove any node from the contact.xml file?

Hi Parker,

I didn’t remove any nodes on the xml file. I contacted my server provider(yahoo) and they mentioned that, in order for the php script to work is it has to have a (‘From address’), in which is my email address.

Is there a way where I can tweek the script to where I can place the from address manually? Thank you!

PS.

I checked the error log on my server and this is what I’ve been getting.

“From address not in member domain. Message not sent.”

I hope you can help me on this so I can get this site going!!

Hi.

I see what happens… Yahoo hosting doesn’t allow you (bad thing) to send an email using an address that doesn’t belog to the domain itself, so the email address that the user enter in your form isn’t good for Yahoo and you can’t directly receive emails from them.

To verufy this I’ve just sent you an email from the contact form using your admin email… it worked.

Now, to use the form, you can’t receive the message from the email of the user (that was useful to just click “reply” in your email client to answer them).

So, you need to make a little change in your sendMail.php file. Open it and replace the line 33 with this:

$admin_headers = "From: Message from website by $form_name <$form_admin_email>";

Basically I’ve replaced the $form_email with $form_admin_email, so the messages that your users will send will come from your email address.

Hope it’s clear.

Parker, you’re a GENIUS !!

It is so nice to see “Thanks” on the contact form aside from the usual!

I will take your advise and dump yahoo and maybe go with GoDaddy!! Unless, you got some recommendations for me.

Great work! I like your designs!
