I have the world's simplest form (to collect email address from willing site visitors) and I cannot make it work. Can you help?!

Many thanks in advance, humbly.



<?php
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[Email];
$mailto = "info@jillbucy.com, jillbucy@msn.com, jill@ah.candyhog.com";
$mailsubj = "Mailing list request";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
$err = 0;
if ( strlen($name)<3 || strlen($numberofguests)<1 || strlen($email)<5) {
$err=1;
}
if (!$err) {
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "A visitor would like to be added to the email list fr invites and newsletters:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
/// if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); }
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
$email = '';
}
?>

Hardly the simplest question on this forum.

Can you be a bit more specific with your problem? What exactly doesn't work?

The form is live at jillbucy.com. You can enter your email address into the form field, but the email never is sent to/arrives at the designated email addresses. It would be really nice on top of functioning if a small thank you message appeared after you click submit. Does that help? Let me know if there's more info you need. I appreciate your help a lot!

Can your server send mail? A whole lot of hosting providers don't allow it, and depending on how they block it, you could get a silent failure. If you don't know, just test the mail function independent of any script to see if you get the mail. Alternatively, you could call the php_info() function to see if mail() is on your blocked functions list.

A Twitter pal clued me in. It's that the site is hosted by Office Live, and they don't support php. I'll need to code the form in asp. Anyone know how to do that?! :cross-eye

I know that you can control Microsoft's .NET framework with php, but I have no idea how. Most people who are experienced with .NET have good jobs and very little time to spend on this site, so I'm not sure if you'll find any answers here.

You should try starting a thread (that mentions ASP .NET in the title) in the Server-Side languages board about your problem, to see if we have any .NET experts willing to help. Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas and the info. It seems ironic to me (and I'm sure I'm alone ;-) that Office LIve which is made for non-techy people has arcane support/doesn't support parameters. Onward! And again thanks!:look:
