Hi all,
New to the forum. I have download a template and am currently in the process of modifying it to suit my needs.
I am currently working on the contact page which has a form and appears to be working fine however I have yet to receive an e-mail once the form is submitted. The forms uses Javascript (forms.js) to validate and a MailHandler.php file.
I cant understand what is going wrong as everything seems to be working but perhaps im missing the obvious - You can view the page on http://zoeandeddie.webspace.virginmedia.com/index-4.html
Below is the content of the two files - ive replaced my actual email address with 'myemail@address.com:
1) forms.js
;(function($){
$.fn.forms=function(o){
return this.each(function(){
var th=$(this)
,_=th.data('forms')||{

You may have already figured this out by now. I came across this and I had to reply since I just went through the same problem. Heres what you need to do.
1. Figure out what the address is of your SMTP server. that address depends on your hosting provider, they should have a smtp server address for you. You will need to change that address in your
" smtpMailServer:'localhost'," replace the 'localhost' with the smtp server adress. If you are using godaddy hosting it should be something like "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
2. You need to create a new variable in your php file, call it $email and replace "$owner_email" in the mail call, here would be your new .php
<?php
$owner_email = $_POST["owner_email"];
$email = 'yourname@youraddress.com';
$headers = 'From:' . $_POST["email"];
$subject = 'A message from your site visitor ' . $_POST["name"];
$messageBody = "";
if($_POST['name']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Visitor: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['email']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Email Address: ' . $_POST['email'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}else{
$headers = '';
}
if($_POST['state']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>State: ' . $_POST['state'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['phone']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Phone Number: ' . $_POST['phone'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['fax']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Fax Number: ' . $_POST['fax'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['message']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Message: ' . $_POST['message'] . '</p>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){
$messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody);
}
try{
if(!mail($email, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){
throw new Exception('mail failed');
}else{
echo 'mail sent';
}
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}
?>
Hope this is helpful!
