I just recently upgraded my clients website (meptec.org) to a GoDaddy Virtual Dedicated Server. I have several secure forms that no longer work. I was using gdform.php but now that I have moved to the VDS they tell me I can’t use the gdform.php or webformmailer.php. I have to create my own.
The link they provided was GoDaddy Help Center - Gen 3 VPS & Dedicated Servers. Since I got into Freeway because I don’t know code I am completely lost here.
Does anyone have experience with this?
The GoGaddy option in the PHP Feedback Form action (http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=019
) simply primes the form to use GoDaddy’s existing gdform.php
processor. As this script isn’t available in Clark’s account I’d
suggest still trying the action but with the ‘Use GoDaddy’s mail
script’ option switched off. The PHP that Clark mentioned previously (GoDaddy Help Center - Gen 3 VPS & Dedicated Servers
) looks, in essence, similar to the code the action produces.
Clark, if the action fails for whatever reason get in touch with me
and I’ll adjust the action to bring it in line with the code GoDaddy
provided.

Dave,
I have applied Tim’s PHP Form Mailer action to one of my pages to see if it works. When I open the Actions Palette there are only 3 check boxes. First is Activate, 2nd is Patch for PHP 4.2 and the 3rd is Use short tags. I click Activate
and nothing is visible as in the attached example http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=019
I have no way of setting anything as I cannot see any
actions palette. When I preview it, the form has copy
scattered all down the form beneath my existing form
I created. See the link below.
You’re looking at a different Action. The one you are using is a
general-purpose tools that wires the form; you have to provide your
own handler. Tim’s is very different, and does a more complete job for
a limited sub-set of forms.

Once you visit Tim’s page it will become more clear how to use the action - either as a page action or an item action.
I prefer to apply the action to a table that I have constructed to hold all my form elements. The action means that you do NOT have to use Page>Form Setup as you have done.
When you apply the action to a table that holds the form elements then you will see the action palette
And it is in here that all your settings go. The action creates the form handler for you.
Dave,
I hate to be stupid here as I am still learning all this. I have never created a table and don’t know the first thing about how to add form elements to make this all work. Can I pay you or someone else to help me get this done? I can’t imagine this should be that difficult. Once I understand the process then I will know in the future what to do. Until then
I am lost.
Hi Clark,
I’ve recently added an example Freeway file to the PHP Feedback Form
page over at FreewayActions.com (http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=019
). It’s a Freeway 4 Express file so should work in 4 Express, 4 Pro, 5
Express and 5 Pro.
You can find the download link at the top of the page just under the
‘Freeway 5 ready’ badge.
You can either study the document to see how it has been constructed
or simply copy and paste the elements (table, form items or even
pages) into your own site.
If you are still having problems feel free to get back in touch.
Regards,
Tim.
