PHP docs give 404 error

Anon

Help!!! All of a sudden whenever a form tries to use a php file to process people get a 404 error.

If I type the full address of a file, for example: http://www.waldorf.edu/test2.php, then I get the file. But if I use http://www.waldorf.edu/test.php and submit the form (action calls the test2.php file), I get a 404 file not found error and the form doesn't process.

I know virtually nothing about servers and my server admin is no help whatsoever on this issue. We checked the error logs and there was nothing in them and nothing about the server setup has changed since this started happening.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

After all morning of trying, as soon as I post on here, it gets somewhat fixed. Someone had installed a toolkit and it disabled the smtp server. So now some of the forms work. Others are giving me
Warning: Undefined variable:
all over the place for seemingly random variables.

with regards to the "undefined variable" issue, it sounds like someone changed error reporting on you.

Try putting this:
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

at the top of each of the PHP files returning these errors, or - better yet - replace the line that says error_reporting(E_ALL); in the PHP.ini file with that.

You were right. I just checked and she reinstalled PHP. That means all my mail settings and error reporting settings, etc. were gone. Thanks for the reminder. Once you said that I knew just what to have her change in the .ini file.
