My PHP Form Does Not Show Errors But I Do Not Receive Email When It Is Filled

Report · Aug 02, 2011

Hi,

This form used to work. I tested it and received emails in all email boxes.

But now it does not work. Nobody know why, including the programmer.

http://www.collegestudentvoice.com/form/form.php

Emails work, No Spam Filter Set, Emails are White Listed

Value of Parameter Match Email Prefixes

Dreamweaver101.1

here is another file used by the form. Formaction

You mean it was working before and stopped suddenly? I guess if it works fine that time, then let us know what changes have you made recently. It will help to resolve your problem

Report · Aug 02, 2011

the form did not work for most email in the Label "College Sports"'

the values of the parameters did not agree with email prefixes.

(i.e., was _college@collegestudentvoice.net --->> @collegestudentvoice.net)

This is the only thing that i changed

The form was test from a different PC and also did not work.
