http://www.classic-corvettes-ky.com/Contact.htm I have not been able to get this page to send eMail. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

You have 1 and 1/2 forms defined

What can I do to get it to function properly?

**chrishirst** · 03-15-2009, 08:12 PM

remove the 1/2 form for a start.
Well no actually, uninstalling FrontPage and throwing it away would be the first step

Code:

<form id="form1" runat="server">

	<input name="Hidden1" type="hidden" />

AND to be using a XHTML doctype ALL tags and attribute HAVE to be in lower case.

Third do you have a Perl script called mycgi.pl in the cgj-bin folder?

Same difference, just a newer version of crap code.

Ok then, so you won't be sending mail using that method then.

What methods of sending mail are available on your hosting?

**vettenut** · 03-16-2009, 07:24 AM

I am sorry to say I do not understand the question. If Front Page Expression Web are Crap - so be it. Can we get past this issue and fix my mail sending problem?

Does your hosting have PHP enabled?
I can easily find out that your site is on Apache and the server is not reporting a PHP version, but that doesn't mean that it is not actually on the server.

Does your hosting have CGI capabilities?

FP extensions are installed so possibly all you can use that to send emails (never used them, never ever likely to).

**vettenut** · 03-16-2009, 08:58 AM

PHP is enabled and CGI capabilities are there. My ISP says the code has a problem either caused by Expression Web or myself.

You know, that's a remarkably good diagnosis for a hosting company help desk </sarcasm>

Lots and lots of PHP mail threads in the PHP forum
