Just testing the site

Hit submit....

Now you get only the standard PHP page without the form submitting, what is going on here???

Could someone give me some advice on what I;m doing wrong?

Thanks.

Its flash to start off with.

 

[MyWorld]

And what would you suggest?

 

[Adenoid Hynkel]

Im surfing the web with my phone. If i connect to the site i dont even see a form. It asks for a swfobjets.js file.

What form do you want to use?
Name
Email
Message
Submit?

If you cant get it right, drop me a pm or mail and I will create a form for you with the php file.

 

[Other Pineapple Smurf]

And what would you suggest?

The obvious: DONT USE FLASH

The alternatives: PHP or CGI

I would go with PHP as its the easiest to learn, just google in w3schools and you will get all the info you need.

Does anyone still use CGI?

 

[MyWorld]

The java script file is only for checking that flash is installed and all valid fields entered.

If I do not get this right by tomorrow I'm going to take you up on your offer blogbytes.

The problem is I do not know if the problem is with my coding or with the webserver. Long story, but still, if anyone has any idea as to what the problem might be, let me know.

You could also opt for ASP.NET...

Looks like the server isn't set up for PHP. It's returning the php file as text.

[EDIT] Here we go again. PHP vs ASP.Net.

@MyWorld: Which host are you using, and what platform? Linux/Apache most probable, or is it Win/IIS? This will help us troubleshoot.

Woohoo! At least you're early enough to join in this time...

Ooh, that was quick.

Did someone have a miss-spent IRC youth?

LOL Indeed. The correct quote might well have been "a wet fish" though.

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Hmmm... make it salmon please. I love Norwegian salmon. Grilled with some black pepper and lemon-butter.

I think that PHP was not properly enabled on the server.

If you are using apache, remeber to add the following to your httpd.conf:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

If you're sure it is enabled try the following script:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

 

[Raithlin]

@Nod - it's definitely not enabled - or incorrectly configured to interpret .php as text.

no the correct is semaphore slaps Raithlin with a large trout..

Now who's been spending too much time in IRC??

Truth be told, it depends which macros you had installed...

 

[FarligOpptreden]

"FarligOpptreden slaps everyone in this thread with a big, wet squid tentacle and waits for the suction cups to suck all the humour out of the situation."

Is that about right?

 

[Raithlin]

If you coded it that way, sure? Why not?



Would you please take your squid off my face?
