Anyone else have a problem with gdform.php in godaddy's hosting?

I have a form that I used to use with the formmail.cgi (Matt's script archive) and when I switched to godaddy, they only offer their own form, gdform.php

Anyhow,
I've been trying to send out a test and it's not working.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey,

Could you post the script and your form.

Hey AC! Thanks for replying!

However, I actually found out why it wasn't working!

Thanks anyway!

I can't get my form working either...what did you do to get it to work...

I did not alter the gdform.php code only my form at: http://www.arrowheadconsulting.com/contactus/index.htm

any thoughts?

why use gdform.php?
A quite usefull form submission script can be made with just a two lines.
Make this your action in your form, and make what ever entries you want.
It will use php's mail function to send off a email with all of the posted entries.

-mailer.php

<?
// Your thank you site. 
$thankyou="http://domain.com/thankyou.html"
// Your Email addy
$email="user@domain.com";
mail($email, 'Web submission from $_SERVER['remote_addr']', print_r($_POST, true).'\n END');
?>
<script language=javascript>
window.location('<? echo $thankyou; ?>');
</script>

--End mailer.php

I suggest avoiding pre written code.. take the concepts and apply them to your own set.

Sorry about the double post but it was raised to my attention that some people
would like a plug in and play form emailing file. So this should just plug in,
enter your email address, and your thank you page and it 'should' send off the email.
This PHP works on servers with newish php installs.

form.php
-Example web form

<html>
<form action=mailer.php method=POST>
<input type=text name=name value="John Doe">
<input type=submit>
</form>
</html>

mailer.php
-Example email script to email all inputs from the previous form.

PHP Code:

<?
// Your thank you site.
$thankyou="http://domain.com/thankyou.html";
// Your Email addy
$email="user@domain.com";
mail($email, 'Web submission from '.$_SERVER['remote_addr'], print_r($_POST,true).'\n END');
?>
<script language=javascript>
window.location('<? echo $thankyou; ?>');
</script>

Thanks for the help.

My questions is where does that mailer.php script go?? Does it go on the website inside the header? Where?

THanks a ton!

It is it's own file on the server. It could be on that same page, but you'd have to change some stuff, so trust me when I say it's easier to put it in another file.

Hi guys,

I've been reading in on a few of the posts so far about "gdform.php", and while I don't have a problem with my form, I need a way of making it work on no matter which server it's placed on.

Let me elaborate a bit further... I have a website that is being hosted by Godaddy... I am selling this website to people with resell rights, and this website has a form on it (this form will allow me to be in contact with those who have purchased from others). When these people purchase this website they won't necessarily use Godaddy as their web host so I doubt gdform.php will work on their server even if it's uploaded up there, and that would render my form useless.

I need a way of having this form send the required information to me no matter which server these people might chose to upload the website to, while still sending to a forwarding email addreass that I have with Godaddy.

I am also open to other suggestions as long as I can get the same result, but if it can be done in such a way that it still continues to send to my Godaddy forwarding address then that would be ideal for me

Thanks guys in advance for you help, looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Hi everyone,
I just swtich over hosting to godaddy, was using fromtomail in my form, had not problem until i switch to godaddy, I see in the form below that some of you were having this problem as well...exactly what did you guys change in your form to get it working. I'm still new to php, I just cant figure out what you guys change in the script below. Any ideas will be greatful. you can look at the form there is two of them below.
