I have a few websites that have forms that work with Tim’s action PHP feedback form. Just out of the blue they stopped working; customer brought that to my attention. The sites are hosted at the same provider, but other websites I made (using the same company) work fine. In fact, these websites that don’t work anymore used to work fine too…
I kind of ‘solved’ the problem by using an iframe and linked them to my own website (also hosted by that same company), but that is an odd solution.
It is weird… I used this action so many times, so no problem about that… I tried the page or form actions, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference. I would appreciate any input or help…
Hi Paul,
Has anything changed on the server at all? The version of PHP maybe?
It’s odd for any code that works one minute to just stop working like
this without something having been upset somewhere. Create a PHP
report on both servers (the one it fails on as well as the good one)
and see if you can see what might be different between the two. Create
a simple text file that is called info.php and in simply type;
<?php php_info(); ?>
Upload the file to both servers and take a look at the resulting pages
in your browser. You should see a whole slew of information about the
version of PHP running on each server. Print each to a PDF and keep
these safe and remove the info.php files (you don’t want any hackers
or anyone else knowing too much about your servers).
Regards,
Tim.

That is an idea. This would mean that this hosting company has different servers, right? Website are hosted on different servers. And they might be configured slightly different?
I’ll give that a try, it is indeed weird…
Thanks Tim.
Tim, in regards to this problem, I contacted my hosting company. They say that they are using PHP5 and therefore $HTTP_POST_VARS are not possible anymore…
This is the kind of stuff beyond my comprehension…
Could that be part of the reason that messages are not being handled?
