phpwcms Support Forum

Hi,
I installed a contact form on my site. But I am not recieving the test-emails I have sent to myself.

It appears to be setup correctly. Maybe there's something I'm unaware of when setting up contact forms.

Any advice,

THank you,

perhaps your webserver doesn't support the selected tranfer method for mail... try to change it in conf.inc.php If you change to smtp you have to enter your smtp-settings...
Usually, 'mail' should work. Try this: Save this content in a page calles mail.php, change "yourmail@yourserver.com" and enter your mail adress.
Now, upload this little script and enter the link in your browser. A white page with no content should display and you should get an email...
if this fails, your webspace doesn't support the mail command.

Second idea: Spamprotection?

Hi,

I want to try your suggestion, I have a couple quick questions:

Your first snippet of code is exactly the same in my config file. Is this the way I should have it?

If I make a mail php script... what folder do I upload it into? and how do I "enter the link in my browser" ...

also, I'm not sure what this means:

"topic", "some text", "from Name <e-Mail address>")

... what goes in the email address part, and what is 'some text'...
are these form fields?...

My form has the following fields:

Name:
Email:
Message:

Please clarify if possible,
thank you,
mark

No, the <? Script i posted is a script, which is independend from phpWCMS. You can put it in an new file called mail.php for example.

It's just a script which send's an email to the adresse you typed in. It doesn't create an e-mail form or somthing like this.

Keep on trying, I'm tired now an go to bed...
