The homepage and contact page have forms, and on the Auctions page there are links to 2 more forms. The 2 links and the contact page form throw the ‘Error’ page back at me (using the php feedback form action) and the homepage form gives me a blank page with the URL of:
Now I’m pretty sure this is a simple error on my part, but I’m sure I can’t see anything wrong. I use it so rarely that I’ve probably forgotten something fundamental.
Delta Dave, I still haven’t implemented your form suggestions from the other day, it’s been a bit of a week!
Ah, so that was the problem then? My apologies, I didn’t realise that, I just thought it was a belt n braces scenario and the form would have sent anyway.
Thanks

Also on the index page I would add the form action to the table that holds it rather than the page.
All done now Dave, and all of the forms are reporting back with the error page.
I’ve checked the naming of the pages are correct and the right ones are selected in the php feedback form action, so I’m at a loss now. As they’re all giving the same response, I’m even more certain that it’s my fault and I’ve done something stupid!
Could it be because it’s currently being tested while being 2 folders deep on my site? Would it need to be on the ‘top layer’?
I’ve just looked at the source code of your form, and everything looks perfect there. If you’re always getting the error page, then I feel confident saying there’s something wrong with your server.
Try pointing your form at my reflector script to test what you should be getting. (Remove the Action from the page or form, and change the Page / Form Setup to POST to Reflector
That will give you a view of the form contents as submitted, and you’ll see that everything is correctly named.

Thanks Walter, got to rush out now, I’ll give that a go when I get a moment.

This gets stranger. All of the inputs were there when I tried pointing at your reflector script.
I’ve now tried it on 2 different servers, the one I use (ineedwebhosting -I have other sites here and they work fine) and the client’s (1&1) and they both come back with the error page.
So back to first base…

How many forms did you send? I only received one of them (the bid form - it’s all set up to email me at the moment), and did you receive the success page okay because I’ve just tried again this morning and got the same results.
I’ve republished the site and on my mac in Safari, Chrome and Firefox I get the error page for every single form. I’ve reset/cleared caches on all.
On my wife’s pc (which hasn’t been used before to access this site, so no cache problem there) in Safari and IE I get the error page for all forms, however, in Chrome I get 3 error pages and one form sends fine.
I’m at a loss now, and as I mentioned yesterday, I’ve tried the site on 2 different servers, the link above will be it’s final resting place. Any suggestions?
Thanks Dave, yes I received those, so the big question is why do these 3 forms fail (along with the other one) 100% on my computer, 80% fail on my wife’s pc and 100% fail on my friends pc?
I’m going to have to do a quick fix not using a form today because of timing, but would be really interested in any theory’s why this is happening.
I know it’s not a cache problem concerning the 2 pc’s as they hadn’t looked at the site before I pointed them there.
