Hi,
I am totally new to php and web design. I have got an online form on my site, which uses a PHP script to email it to me. I learnt to create the script from this tutorial:
http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/dreamweaver/tutorials/phpFormHandler.php
However when I tried to use the form i get this error message:
500 - Internal Server Error. The resource you are looking for cannot be displayed.
The tutorial demonstrates it all working perfectly, so I know the tutorial is good, and therefore is something I am doing wrong or not doing at all!
I do get an email through, and the email body is exactly as specified in the script, however it doesn't grab the data from the form, or display the outcome page the script specifies. Just the error message! Please help, I am in dire need of it!!
My PHP script is:
<?php
/ Subject and Email Variables /
$emailSubject = 'General Web Enquiry';
$webMaster = 'example@example.com';
/ Gathering Data Variables /
$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$address1Field = $_POST['address1'];
$address2Field = $_POST['address2'];
$townField = $_POST['town'];
$postcodeField = $_POST['postcode'];
$phoneField = $_POST['phone'];
$serviceField = $_POST['service'];
$brochureField = $_POST['brochure'];
$aboutusField = $_POST['aboutus'];
$oursiteField = $_POST['oursite'];
$commentsField = $_POST['comments'];
/ The email body /
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $name <br>
Email: $email <br>
First Address Line: $address1 <br>
Second Address Line: $address2 <br>

$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
