Im new to this.... Please HELP

davidska

I'm working on getting a form to mail setup using php, but i am having some trouble, any help would be nice. I'm not sure if the server has php set up wrong or what. I've never used php before, so im in the dark.

i keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Unable to open /u/web/acutec/educatetest2.php in Unknown on line 0

here is my code:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

<?
$msg = "Message:\t$detailsandcomments\n";
$msg .= "Name:\t$realname\n";
$msg .= "Address:\t$address\n\n";
$msg .= "Zipcode:\t$zipcode\n\n";
$msg .= "Telephone:\t$telephone\n\n";

$recipient = "DavidSka@aol.com";
$subjectnew = "input for education department";

$mailheaders = "From: WebMail Form\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $email\n\n";

mail($recipient, $subjectnew, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Mail Confirmation</title>
</head>

<body>

<h2>Message sent!</h2>

</body>

</html>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

(no those slashes are not acutally in my code)

thanks for your help

what happens if you have a php page with just the code:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

If that doesnt work, then it's not set up to run php properly.

And also don't use titles like "Please help!" or other such nonsense - if you hadnt noticed then every single new thread on this board is asking for help of some sort. Use sensible, descriptive titles or you risk everyone ignoring your post altogether: if you can't be arsed to spend two seconds thinking of a relevant title, why should others be arsed to spend time coming up with a solution?
