Hi Nerds! I'm helping a mate out with a website and told him he'd be better off with a contact form rather than just his email address on the site. Only needs a few simple fields on his site like 'Name' 'Email address' 'Type info here' and a PHP file to handle it on the server and email it to him. I'm just trying to find something that's straightforward and secure. Can anyone point me in the right direction please x |

If it's Wordpress then there's an add-in called "contact form" which'll do that. Check me out using my internet knowledge. No need for any other replies guys and gals I've sorted it. Lock up the thread. Ta. |

I've broke it. "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@' in /home2/overtone/public_html/contact.php on line 4" The @ is in the email address so I'm not sure how to get round that. |

At a guess you accidentally removed the " " from around the email address but if you past that line here or send me a DM/email I'll be able to help better

Or it's on line 4 because they're suppressing any errors. If there is an @ in that file (just open it with a text editor to see) then take it out. [edit] Didn't realise we knew which one it was

So... Yahoo doesn't like PHP mailing scripts. My mate only has Yahoo email accounts... Looks like there's no quick fix for this other than get him to set up another email elsewhere. |

*tappity tap* 17 didn't get through. That's actually really good. 14 got marked as spam, the cunts. 1,865 of them got deferred (which means they wait a bit and they deliver again), but that shouldn't be a problem you're seeing. |

Zardoz wrote: Skrpt plz Grm... Could be a lot of things. The first thing I'd like to blame is your SPF records. Where's the form (you can PM me it if you need to), and who does it say it's from when it arrives? Make sure he's putting his email address in right (obv), make sure there's nothing in his email settings that are getting rid of it, and - if you have access to your server's terminal - try taking a look at your mail logs to see if it got accepted. You can probably do that by typing: Code: grep [his email address] /var/log/mail.log

Try either/both of these: http://jemsmailform.com/help-how-to/im- ... l-account/ http://jemsmailform.com/help-how-to/im- ... l-account/ (Previous yahoo users have had success with one of those fixes but I can't remember which.) |

Cheers Grim, can't get to it here to show you though.* I'll take another look tonight if I can get chance. I've read a few things that have half sank in (authenticating the sender with SMTP gubbins and other such stuff) I tried using a new email account from where his site is hosted and then set up forwarding to his yahoo account but still no joy. Script works fine when I tested it with my ...talktalk.net email address. *It's Jem's script though as mentioned above. |

Not at the minute. It's been on my todo list for about 3 years.  How urgently do you need it? I can plot it in for this weekend if you can wait? Will be a good kick up the butt to get some work done on it. |
