Hello all

I am using Dreamweaver for my website designs, and have run into a problem.

I have created a form, and using hidden fields (BackURL, To, etc), basically, the form is a simple one with a few fields, and then a submit button which I have set so that it goes to a thank you page (thank_you.htm) and tested it from Dreamweaver (before actually uploading to www) and it all seems fine and works perfectly.

However, after uploading to the www via ftp browser, and going to the site and testing it for real, I get an error message page (the page cannot be found), as follows:

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:

• Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
• If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted.
• Click the Back button to try another link.

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS)

I am not sure what to do here, or how to resolve this. It works fine when I test it in Dreamweaver, but not once it is actually uploaded to www. Also, for my "To" hidden field, I have put my email address for the form details to be sent to, so as to test it first..and no e-mail comes through so obviously, along with the BackURL page not showing, the details are not being sent at all...

If this sounds confusing i'm sorry, but some help / any help, would be MUCHLY appreciated

Many thanks

try using the full url for the webpage...

http://yoursite.com/thank_you.htm

or make sure you have the right file type htm or html

try it out.

Is this site on the net? So i can see what's wrong wit it?

Thanks, i'll try that...

Yes, the site is on the net, it is www.corduroylifestyle.com

when you get to the front page, click on c&f (corduroy&finch) the link on the left hand side, and then a new window will open, enter that site, and there is a link on top middle of the homepage, (join our mailing list), that is the form page..

thanks for your help mate

hey i tried the site it works fine for me.

Try going to the your page: http://www.corduroylifestyle.com/mailing_list.htm

and refresh the page.

yea, true, it just worked for me - it was because of your initial advice, changing it to::::

http://yoursite.com/thank_you.htm

previously I had

http://www.yoursite.com/thank_you.htm

thanks for your help.....however though, the info still doesn't seem to be getting emailed to me.........neither yours nor mine came through to my email address (which i specified in the Hidden "To" field) Any ideas??

Not to worry.

try using this -- it's free
http://www.web4future.com/easiest-form2mail.htm

extract the zip file then open the form2mail.php file using notepad -- replace the e-mail address, and the redirect on the file. If you need more help than just ask me.

don't use spaces in filenames

there are no spaces in his file name.

there are underscores, they may not be seen because of the link is underlined.

its not a space, its an underscore.....anyway, i've since changed it from thank_you to thanks......to avoid confusion..haha

hey thanks for your help, ill try that out and let you know how it goes, you've been awesome!!!

ok, i've edited the required details on my form2mail.php file, and uploaded it....and then i get this message....

Warning: file_get_contents(blockip.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Webspace\april2005\corduroylifestyle\corduroyli festyle.com\www\form2mail1.php on line 43

ps, i attached my php file....thanks

I don't know....

the file is ok. That's how i have mine. The problem is when your uploading it to the server.

If your webhosting service has an online filemanager then try to upload the file form2mail.php.

How are you uploading the file? FTP program - or how?

I am using a FTP browser, set up by the hosting company.....not sure why this is not working, as the actual mail goes through, and into my inbox with ALL details, so that is fine, it's just the thanks.htm page that isn't displaying, only that error on line 43......regarding GET....???

okay i see the problem ---

you need to change your <form> tag change it to this...

<form action="form2mail1.php" method="post" name="Mailing List" target="_self" id="Mailing List">

change the "get" to "post" try it now...

Oh yeah

don't forget to remove the hidden inputs on your page. Because if you don't then everytime someone subscribes to your mailing list you will get all that on your messages.

you probably will have to upload the blocktip.txt file also.

Yea, i just figured (before you posted) that maybe that was the problem, but i've uploaded it and still its bringing the same error:

Warning: file_get_contents(blockip.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Webspace\april2005\corduroylifestyle\corduroyli festyle.com\www\form2mail1.php on line 43

?????????

Your tests, and both mine are going through to e-mail - so at least the info is going through, its just the thanks.htm file thats not displaying - instead that error message displays!!!

okay i think i've got it.

try this new version of the script i attached. This one should work. If it doesn't then i'll keep trying.

ok tried that, now getting the error 404 page, try it......

all i did was send that script that you sent me, to a dreamweaver file, then saved it as php, then uploaded that....was that right??

Do these steps, This should fix everything...

1. Open the file i'm attatching now, save it as " form2mail1.php "

2. Upload the file to where you your server, and then it should work just fine.

If not than i'll keep trying.
