I've created a form on my website, and want the contents of the form to be e-mailed to me on the user clicking "submit". I used the Powweb PHP tutorial to check for empty fields and then send it. But for some reason it won't work: the user is taken to an error page entitled "resource not allowed".

http://www.stagefrightweb.com/application/members - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

For your PHP to be recognized by the server you should save it as a .php document. The one you have up and that you are trying to use to execute your mail commands is a .htm file.

Thanks a lot for your help, and for your swift response.

I've tried saving the page as a .php file

http://www.stagefrightweb.com/application/members/index.php

However, this still does not work. Do I need a special program to make .php files, or can I open the .htm file in wordpad and save it as a .php? Can .php files include HTML codes?

Thanks

HTML code can be in a PHP file, and you don't need anything special.

Thanks very much for helping.

So how would you create a .php file? Notepad -> Save As -> All Files -> pagename.php?

And why isn't http://www.stagefrightweb.com/application/members/index.php working?

Once again, thanks a lot for this

Parse error: parse error in /www/s/stagefright/htdocs/application/members/index.php on line 51


Check the syntax on line 51.
You probably have a typo because the php interpreter does not understand the code.

Thanks to everyone who's helped sort this problem out. I have it up and running and I can close the thread.

Thank-you
