On my hostgator account (site a), my form works fine so I know its not the coding. On our own server (site b), The form never sends from the php file on the server. If I put the full address to the php file on Site A onto the form on Site B, the contact form works..everything is sent out fine and it works but the only problem is when its sent it has my hostgator login@gator37.hostgator.com. What is it that our server doesn't have that the hostgator account does? It has to be some kinda server installation or somethin like that

I'm going to assume that your PHP script uses SMTP and not php's mail() function, and that login@gator... is your username for the SMTP server that you are still using...

Chuck us the code and we could probably help further.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

	$to = "us@ssss.net"; 
	$subject = "New Sign Up!";
	$title = $_POST['title'];
	$first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
	$last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
	$address = $_POST['address'];
	$address2 = $_POST['address2'];
	$city = $_POST['city'];
	$state = $_POST['state'];
	$zip = $_POST['zip'];
	$country = $_POST['country'];
	$phone = $_POST['phone'];
	$email_field = $_POST['email'];

	foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) {
		$check_msg .= "$value was checked\n";
	}
	
	$body = "From: $title $first_name $last_name\n Address: $address\n Address 2: $address2\n City: $city\n State: $state\n Zip: $zip\n Country: $country\n Phone: $phone\n E-Mail: $email_field\n $check_msg";

	echo "Data has been sent!";
	mail($to, $subject, $body);
	
} else {
	echo "blarg!";
}
?>

thanks for all the help!

ok well that does use mail() and that blows the SMTP theory out the water.. can you show me the address of the live form?

cheers

O.K... the reason your seeing "login@gator37.hostgator.com" is because terninform.com is hosted on hostgator aswell ...

ternionform.com 1 NS ns73.hostgator.com 86400s
ternionform.com 1 NS ns74.hostgator.com
ternionform.com 1 SOA server: ns73.hostgator.com
email: root@gator37.hostgator.com

From what I understand the server that this form is on doesnt have an SMTP server.. so that is probably why the mail isnt being sent. is there a way around this?

Im a bit confused.... the above script doesnt work? I thought you said it worked but had that host gator addy in?

on the live website, the form does not work when the php script is on the live websites server. If I put the php file on my hostgator server and put the form on the live website it works fine, but this is more of a temporary fix for now. I'm trying to get it to work from the Live websites server which I dont think has SMTP..is this more hardware that has to be bought? I know nothing about the server side of things so this is all new and confusin to me. But I was told that the emails werent being sent because the Live Server doesnt have SMTP

Dont need SMTP.. just make sure the live server has mail() enabled in its php.ini...

Additionally run it on the live server and review the access/error logs to see whats going on
