Hi guys, I recently follow this tutorial to add a mailer to my website http://www.phphelp.com/article/article.php?art=2.
I’ve added it to my websites home page (http://main.storm-dorm-cleaners.com/) but when I attempt to submit the information to activate the email, It 404’s. My host is AWARDSPACE.COM
Below is the code I’ve entered for the site
<?php
/* Configuration -----------------------------------------*/
/* Mail results to this address */
/* Set this to the email address you wish to receive mail */
/* from the form submissions at. */
$TO = "[email protected]";
/* Specify system mail program */
/* Set this to the path to your mail program. Check with */
/* your server administrator for the proper location. */
$MP = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Decide if we should display a new form or send the */
/* form data by email. */
/* To make this decision, the script can check for the */
/* existence of 1) the action variable defined by a */
/* hidden field; 2) a required form field that you know */
/* will always be set on submission; or you may set the */
/* action variable to a particular value that can be */
/* checked to determine the action to take. I chose */
/* to simply check for the existence of the hidden */
/* action variable (which is always set as long as we */
/* give a value in the hidden field). */
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
if ($frmAction)
{
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
/* A thank you message (or other response) goes here. We */
/* switch to HTML mode to make it easy to include any */
/* tags you wish without worrying about quoted */
/* attributes. */
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
?>
<div align="center">
<table width="350" border="2">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#C0C0C0">
<p>Thank you for contacting us, we will email you or send you a text soon.</p>
</td
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<?php
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
/* The real work gets done here by opening a pipe to */
/* sendmail, which sends the contents of the submitted */
/* form by email to the address specified in the */
/* configuation section (which can acutally be an */
/* an included initialization file if you want to get */
/* fancy). For each variable we expect the form to */
/* to submit, we output as part of the email. */
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
$fd = popen($MP,"w");
fputs($fd, "To: $TO ");
fputs($fd, "From: $frmName <$frmEmail> ");
fputs($fd, "Subject: Message from your web site ");
fputs($fd, "X-Mailer: PHP3 ");
fputs($fd, "Name: $frmName ");
fputs($fd, "Phone: $frmPhone ");
fputs($fd, "Email: $frmEmail ");
fputs($fd, "Details: $frmFurther");
pclose($fd);
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Here the script must exit so we don't display the */
/* form again once the thank you message has been */
/* displayed and the mail sent. */
/*-------------------------------------------------------*/
exit;
} else {
// start else clause
