OK, what would you recommend that I do? Sorry if I sound a bit green but I am already on the verge of my abilities. I do have a forum powered by YaBB and I find that every time that I access the page it takes forever even when I was using Windows. 123 just say that it is my coding that is at fault and that they cannot help with this. I used to be with 1&1 and the forum worked fine there.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 23, 2017

All done but no email. It did redirect after firstly showing empty form fields briefly. Just noticed that my last post shows my email address twice (my mistake) could someone please delete these?

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 22, 2017

Sorry! <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $EmailFrom = "name@email_domain.com"; $EmailTo = "name@email_domain.com"; $Subject = "online form"; $Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); $Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); $Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); $Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); // validation $validationOK=true; if (!$validationOK) { echo "please check your details"; header("Location: http://yourdommain.co.uk/contact.php"); exit; } // prepare email body text $Body = ""; $Body .= "Name: "; $Body .= $Name; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Tel: "; $Body .= $Tel; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $Email; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Message: "; $Body .= $Message; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=index.html\">"; } else{ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=index.html\">"; } } ?>

Oh, right! Well the form code is at the start of thread, the validation code is window.addEvent('domready', function() { // Get the form var form = $('comments_form'); // if the form is found... if (form) { // obtain error fields var name = $('fullname'); var email = $('email'); var comment = $('comment'); // Set the default status var isValid = true; // input error function for the error messages var addError = function (field, msg) { field.addClass('error'); // Add error class to field var error = field.getParent().getElement('span') || new Element('span', {'class': 'error'}); // add error message if not already placed error.set('text', msg); // error text msg error.inject(field, 'after'); // Insert error message after field }; // detach error function used to delete any error messages and remove the error class var removeError = function (field) { field.removeClass('error'); // Remove error class from form fields var error = field.getParent().getElement('span'); // find any existing error messages // destroy if error message if (error) { error.destroy(); } }; // insert submit form event form.addEvent('submit', function (e) { // Test name length if (name.get('value').length === 0) { isValid = false; addError(name, nameError); } else { isValid = true; removeError(name); } // check email length if (email.get('value').length === 0) { isValid = false; addError(email, emailError); // check email validity } else if (!email.get('value').test(/^([a-zA-Z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-zA-Z0-9\+_\-]+)*@([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/)) { isValid = false; addError(email, emailError); } else { isValid = true; removeError(email); } // check comment length if (comment.get('value').length === 0) { isValid = false; addError(comment, commentError); } else { isValid = true; removeError(comment); } // If form invalid then stop event happening if (!isValid) { e.stop(); } }); } }); and the css is body {background:#F0F2F2; } #formwrap {width:720px; margin-top:30px; margin-left:30px; background:#FFF; border:1px solid #000; border-radius:20px; box-shadow:2px 2px 5px #666; padding:20px; } #formwrap #form {border-top:1px solid #EEE; width:720px; } #form.row {border-bottom:1px dotted #EEE; display:block; line-height:38px; overflow:auto; padding:24px 0px; width:100%; } #form .row .label {font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; width:180px; text-align:right; float:left; padding-right:10px; margin-right:10px; } #form .row .input {float:left; margin-right:10px; /*width:auto;*/ width:285px; } } #form .row .input2 {float:left; margin-right:10px; /*width:auto;*/ width:466px; } .detail {width:260px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:16px; padding:7px 8px; margin:0; display:block; border-radius:5px; background:#E9E9E9; border:1px solid #000; } .mess {width:450px; max-width:450px; height:280px; overflow:auto; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:16px; padding:7px 8px; line-height:16px; margin:0; display:block; border-radius:5px; background:#E9E9E9; border:1px solid #000; } .detail:focus {background-color:#FFF; border:1px solid #999; outline:none; } .mess:focus {background-color:#FFF; border:1px solid #999; outline:none; } #form .row .context {color:#999; font-size:11px; font-style:italic; line-height:14px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; width:200px; } #form #submit {font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin-top:25px; margin-left:200px; color:#000; font-size:16px; text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #999; padding:10px; } span.error {color:rgba(0,0,0,1); display:block; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:12px; background-image:url(../images/x.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: left 6px; padding-left:25px; line-height:30px; } #formwrap h2 {font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #333; color:rgba(0,0,0,1); margin-left:25px; } Hope something here shows what might be the cause!

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 22, 2017

Here is the code from 123. I hope that I can keep the layout of the original. <?php $EmailFrom = "info@yourdomain.co.uk"; $EmailTo = "info@yourdomain.co.uk"; $Subject = "online form"; $Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); $Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); $Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); $Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); // validation $validationOK=true; if (!$validationOK) { echo "please check your details"; header("Location: http://yourdommain.co.uk/contact.php"); exit; } // prepare email body text $Body = ""; $Body .= "Name: "; $Body .= $Name; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Tel: "; $Body .= $Tel; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $Email; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Message: "; $Body .= $Message; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=index.php\">"; } else{ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"1;URL=index.php\">"; } ?> Thank you Osgood!

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 22, 2017

Osgood, I tried that code but I just got a blank page. It didn't redirect either.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 21, 2017

I tried the script from 123 and when I opened the page expecting the form it went straight to my redirect page,my homepage. BUT I did receive the emails but as you would expect they were blank, showing just the field names with no info, as the page did not even appear. So yes all seems to be working in a way so it has to be something I ma doing wrong, but for the love of money I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 21, 2017

The test php did work showing the words Hello World, nothing else. I will give the 123 script a test.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 21, 2017

Tried using the email account I have with 123 and nothing back. I cannot believe how frustrating this is!

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 20, 2017

OK, well as always some great advice. I will set my address to my domain name as suggested and will test this out. I will let you know in the morning. Again, thanks for all the help!

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 20, 2017

I am using Hotmail.co.uk. I have not changed any settings or indeed provider.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 20, 2017

Hi Osgood Nope no email.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 20, 2017

Yes it is all uploaded but not yet available to use as I have not linked to it. My host is 123 and they told me that they have run a php script and things work for them. I have done about 8 tests since it has been online and received nothing back. I have checked my spam also.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 20, 2017

I have been trying for ages to create a Contact Form and recently discovered a followable tutorial on Youtube. I know that they cannot be 100% trusted. Can someone please check out the code below and tell me why I am not receiving emails when I do a test. I have crossed out my email address for obvious reasons and this I have checked and correct. I like the way this looks - www.ultimate-top-trumps.co.uk/contact.php and would like to keep it as close as possible. I do have a CSS file but its not this hence I have pasted in the php script page. I have used Dreamweaver CS6 and using a Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! <?php // Set email variables $email_to = 'xxxxxxx'; $email_subject = 'Form submission'; // Set required fields $required_fields = array('fullname','email','comment'); // set error messages $error_messages = array( 'fullname' => 'Please enter a Name to proceed.', 'email' => 'Please enter a valid Email Address to continue.', 'comment' => 'Please enter your Message to continue.' ); // Set form status $form_complete = FALSE; // configure validation array $validation = array(); // check form submittal if(!empty($_POST)) { // Sanitise POST array foreach($_POST as $key => $value) $_POST[$key] = remove_email_injection(trim($value)); // Loop into required fields and make sure they match our needs foreach($required_fields as $field) { // the field has been submitted? if(!array_key_exists($field, $_POST)) array_push($validation, $field); // check there is information in the field? if($_POST[$field] == '') array_push($validation, $field); // validate the email address supplied if($field == 'email') if(!validate_email_address($_POST[$field])) array_push($validation, $field); } // basic validation result if(count($validation) == 0) { // Prepare our content string $email_content = 'New Website Comment: ' .

I think that I will go with the Freefind search engine. I have got some code tried it out and it looks the biz! All I need to do now is format it so everything is nice and central. Thank you Nancy and osgood!

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 13, 2017

Each pack has its own page where each card is displayed as a png as well as some text information. I only really want the search to go to the pages that when an image is clicked then goes yo he more detailed page. This way the user can see the entire series while targeting the pack searched for, if that makes any sense. Either I still have to add all 3,500+ packs in the database along with the links. I have seen some tutorials that show that the site can be created purely via MySQL and then formatted with CSS but again I sort of follow along and then just get massive overload and get lost.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 13, 2017

Thanks osgood. The site is mainly graphical with images of packs of cards. These packs of cards are what I would like to be searchable. I am rebuilding the site so now would be a good time to try and put something together. Google search is 'bleep' as it either does not find things or shows results that have nothing to do with the site. I hope that someone can help as it would help visitors find specific packs. There are in total over 3,500 packs so the database will be very big, I understand that.

nigelh70638339 · ‎Sep 13, 2017

I have been trying this for ages and nothing has really helped and I am just going round in circles. My site contains thousands of individual pages that I want be found quickly and without using the Google Search which I currently have. The site is basically split between country and then further split into brand and some are split by year. I have installed MAMP (as I am using a Mac) and tried to create a database. I discovered that there were not enough rows (only 40 max) and looked into it. This led me to discovering that I need to create php pages which I did containing a search box and another for the results. Tried it and I was prompted to set up a test server which I did. The result when I tested the pages was that I received an 404 error. Even basic html pages showed the same. Surely there has to be a simplified tutorial, step-by-step to help with this difficult task. I am not afraid of working with it but at the same time I am not comfortable with long passages of text that waffle on about the reasoning of ab and c. I am looking for a simple explanation that will point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

I try to always work in code view and save every minute or so, out of habit. Anyway, when I save the line beneath where my cursor is changes so my code then become jagged and untidy. If go back and tab this line in and save again, the line beneath jumps to the left and when I tab that line in and save the line beneath does the same, regardless of whether it is a tr, td or th.

I have a css rule for the h3 tags and these should not do anything except he a title that is underlined. These are not links. However, because I have an a name tag, this is being treated the same as my links. The links are also controlled by css. Nancy said that the a name tag is no longer used and gave examples above. I dont know how to change my exiting code to incorporate the correct code. h3 code in my css; h3 {color:rgba(0,0,0,1); font-size:16px; font-style:italic; text-decoration:none;} a:link code in my css a:link {color:#03F; text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#93C; text-decoration:none;} a:active {color:#92C; text-decoration:none;} a:hover {color:#F00; text-decoration:none; font-size:15px;} a:focus {color:#F00; text-decoration:none;} (Dont now why it is in a table here) Thanks in advance

nigelh70638339 · ‎Jul 03, 2017

Hi Nancy, thanks for getting back to me but Im sorry but I dont understand how to use what you have mentioned. The 'a name' tags allow me to jump to a certain card from an outside page, these are not links. The Content section you have done is just text describing the card, where it came from etc. This includes the link. Hopefully this makes my issue a bit clearer. Thanks in advance!

I have another query regarding anchor tags and a href. My page contains a lot of anchor tags and there are also some links within some text.
