I’m trying to create a comment form in Freeway 5 Pro. I’ve downloaded the PHP Feedback Form and typed in all the settings as needed. However, when i try to post a comment on my uploaded website it just gives me code
It looks a lot like your server isn’t set up to run PHP. Normally that
page of code would be busy doing things for you rather than just
sitting there like that.
Try this;
Take the file that was downloaded and FTP this file into your web
space using an FTP application like (the free) CyberDuck (http://cyberduck.ch/
)
Using your browser surf to the page you uploaded (http://www.oxygencard.co.uk/info.php
for example)
You should see a whole host of information about PHP on the page (a
lot like this Sample Output of phpinfo() on Unix Web Hosting - Quadra Hosting). If
not, and you just see the same code you saw in step 1 then you need to
speak with your web host and ask them if your account supports PHP
and, assuming it does, to activate it for you.

Tim.

I haven’t had a chance to look, but have you correctly set up both an error and success page?
And, does your hosting support php?

Looks like your server is not configured to use php and therefore is
simply sending the script back as text. Unless you can enable this
feature from whatever console your ISP has given you, you will need to
talk to the ISP’s support staff to get the correct settings added into
the Apache config file etc.

No problem. I’ve used 123-reg for over ten years for domain names but
never hosting. If your account supports it then the tech support team
should be able to activate it for you.
If you have access to an online control panel it may be worth looking
there to see if you can activate this yourself.

Tim.

Hi - Great looking site! It appears to me that your page suffix is html. It should be php for the form to work. Made that mistake myself today and spent two hours tracking down the guilty party, only to discover it was me!!
Nope, not with PHP Feedback Form. It can use a straight HTML page and
the form is posted to the PHP page generated by the Action for
processing.

thanks for the advice Dick. i tried changing the extension to php but then when i tried clicking the link in my browser i just saw code again. I think it must be the no php activation issue. I will wait for the response from 123-reg and let you guys know what they say
Hey Jafar - according to Walt the PHP Feedback form doesn’t need the php suffix on the page - so now I’m a bit stumped. I guess Support is the way to go!
