Form only works in Internet Explorer

thehappyappy

I've created a form and uploaded it, but I can only see it in Safari and Explorer on my machine. I can only view it in Explorer on other machines. I've checked the code at http://validator.w3.org/ and it says that its fine, but I still can't view it. All that I can see is the code for the page. Is there any reason for this?

If it helps the form is at http://www.lucyohara.talktalk.net/Mk2/contact.php

Thanks for your help.

It looks like the .php is not being parsed - Does your host have php installed/enabled?

I don't know, how do I check? My host is my Broadband provider, it's free space that came with the account, does that make it less likely it'll have php installed and enabled?

Well, depends on provider, but yes I would say that means HIGHLY unlikely. Usually web space for "Client" access accounts have very few, if any, scripting capabilities. If you want a permanent web space capable of executing PHP, either host it yourself (you have broadband, right?) or purchase hosting services with a provider who offers PHP (and whatever else you need).

Get free web hosting with PHP and MySQL support at http://dhost.info/ or go to http://astahost.com/ one offer 100 MEG webspace PHP and one MySQL database with no advertisements, and astahost offers initially 20 MEG with PHP and unlimited MySQL databases but you must post on their site to maintain a hosted site, but there are no advertisements, plus unlimited emails,and Fantastico and cPanel. With 30 credits (or posts) you can get 150 MEG webspace that choice is of course yours. I use both of these, and have used dhost.info for 4 years with very little downtime, about a year on astahost with also little downtime, its worth a look.

Okay, thanks for your help. The contact form isn't for me, but a client so I'll ask for their ftp details and then use their server. I guess I need to get myself some 'proper' web space!
