This PHP form I'm using on this page is not working (it's on a Yahoo server)...

Turn of the Decade Masquerade Ball

When I put that same form on my personal server (which is hosted with gate.com) it works just fine and I receive the confirmation email and everything.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I read in Yahoo's documentation that they require all outgoing emails with PHP to be sent from an email address within your domain BUT I already have that setup.

I'm stumped...

Also, I've tried several other PHP forms I've made (one of them using a combination of Flash and PHP) and not a single one of them will work on this Yahoo hosting server but they ALL work on my gate.com server.

Please post your code.

Sorry about that, here is the code...

This is the code for the contact-form.php script that processes the contact form...

PHP Code:

Check to see if they were blocked as spam.

It may be that the from and to addresses are the same?

<? is a short tag, it is better to use <?php. That is not an issue in this case, it is being processed properly (I checked the link).

PHP Code:

"<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];?>"

According to my mail error log this is the error it's showing...

2009 Sep 03 19:52:36 Result: 9
2009 Sep 03 19:52:36 From address not in member domain. Message not sent.

What the heck does that mean? The from address is from info@turnofthedecade.com which is indeed part of the member domain.

I worked on a site once that was hosted by Yahoo Small Business.... I remember they had to specify the "sender" email address somehwere in the control panel, which also had to be coming from the hosted domain name. This setting was in addition to the script's reference to the . (In addition to the mail script I wrote for them).

I don't have Control Panel access for Yahoo for any sites at the moment to cite specific examples, but I do remember that in order to get it working, we had to have it being sent "to" AND "from" a domain related email address. It would fail if we would try and CC another external email address (such as the visitor filling out the form).

Im using GoDaddy as my hosting server and am trying to get my webform to send correctly. Ive recently built my first website, Gibbonspi.com which is a family business. When trying to retrieve credit card info about our clients when the submit button is clicked I get an email but from this address detectiveserv@p3nlhssl028.shr.prod.p...reserv er.net rather than the one typed into my text field box. I also get all the subjects from top to bottom such as Name on Card and Security code but nothing that has been typed into the text fields show up in the emails. I have checked the script numerous amounts of times and am starting to think its not me it has something to do with the hosting.... here is the script

PHP Code:

<?php



/* Subject and Email Variables */



    $emailSubject = 'New Client Request';

    $webMaster = 'Anthony@Gibbonspi.com';

    

/* Gathering Data Varianbles */



    $emailField = $_POST['email'];

    $nameField = $_POST['name'];

    $cardnumberField = $_POST['cardnumber'];

    $securitycodeField = $_POST['securitycode'];

    $expireField = $_POST['expire'];

    $cardtypeField = $_POST['cardtype'];

    $agreeField = $_POST['agree'];

    

    $body = <<<EOD

<br><hr><br>

Email: $email <br>

Name: $name <br>

Card Number: $cardnumber <br>

Security Code: $securitycode <br>

Expiration Date: $expire <br>

Card Type: $cardtype <br>

Agree: $agree <br>

EOD;



    $headers = "From: $email\r\n";

    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; 

    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers); 

    

?>

Like i said the only things that do not show up in the email is the correct FROM address or any of the text field answers..... Ive tried everything that I know of can anyone please help... I use Dreamweaver CS4....

Thanks

I don't think this is PCI compliant.

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/saq/index.shtml
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/docs/pci_saq_a.doc

I recommend you take the payment page down and ensure you are PCI compliant before accepting and transmitting credit card data.

A good solution may be to use PayPal (http://paypal.com). It is secure, established, and accepted.

[GibbonsPi]

Yeah, we looked into paypal but the only problem is we never know the transaction amount until we talk to the client. There is no SET service fee it all depends on the time we spend on each case and we use a pay first get results later. So to use paypal we think it would just be a mess whereas if we have the clients credit card info. on file we can charge without the client having to go through different payment periods. We have a business account through Bank of America and thought that what we have would be the easiest way to go about things. Again, this is my first walk in the park so any and all information I get will be very useful on this subject. As far as the script goes, does anyone know why when the submit button is clicked with all text fields filled I get an email from detectiveserv@p3nlhssl028.shr.prod.p...reserv er.net rather than the clients input address and no text field info. is presented in the Email?

[therocket954]

So... you don't negotiate with the client how much you're going to charge them?

You can use some fairly simple scripts that allow the client to type in an amount to pay, and then use Paypal to process that amount the client types in. (You don't have to "preset" values from within Paypal).
