I followed the Freeway video for assembling a contact action form. I doesn’t give me any errors but go daddy isn’t getting it.
Any thoughts of where I may need to tweak it?
Thanks for the help I have received here : )

David, I made some of these a few years ago and when using the godaddy php script that is part of your gd account that took a few minutes for the email to arrive. Seemed they only process them maybe every 15 minutes. for some of my applications I have placed on my gd site my own php form script and those process and send email nearly instantly.

GD are a nightmare with their peculiar PHP implementation.
All you can do is follow the specific GD instructions and hope for the best - or get another Hosting Provider.

David, I did try to use the action you just linked to. Not sure if I did or not get it working on gd. On the site camelotportraits dot com there is a contact page hosted at gd. This page does not use the provided gd php form but one i named sendresults.php that i found somewhere. There are plenty of these available. I am not a programer so all I can do is find a script, place on server and point to it. I had to open the script in a text editor and enter my email and web address info but it is pretty easy to see were that goes. GD does apparently allow other scripts to run. You just need to find one.

One thing you may find useful when debugging a form is my Reflector script: Reflector
All this does is take any request pointed at it and print it out in a somewhat readable format. If you’re not getting the results you expect, sometimes this can be an issue with your form construction (name of the form elements, action setting, etc.) rather than the form handler itself. Most form handlers I have met are fairly simple beasts, content to take whatever is given to them in a “garbage in, garbage out” manner.
Change the Action of your form to point to the URL above, upload, and submit your form. See what you see…

Maybe - but if you play by their rules and use their form and make sure that the email that is receiving is allowed by them then they will sort it for you.
They will not provide support for 3rd party handlers.
And we cannot see the code within the handler you have chosen (sendresults.php) nor whether it meets with GD’s specs.

OK - after rereading your post, sfreund, I see that you are saying that the script you chose (sendresults.php) does work with GD and you were offering that as a solution to DavidK.
Apologies for the confusion but what I said still applies. GD will only offer support for their own form handler script.
