And if you pressed the Download button at Gist, that’s going to be a bit of a wild goose chase, as you’ll have to find an application to un-gzip the folder. Just click on the Raw icon \<\> and then copy and paste into a plain-text editor like TextWrangler. That’s easier than dealing with the download.

Not sure what I’m doing, BUT I replaced the contents of my existing form handler (the FW one) with the script you provided. Tried the form—and I was redirected to a page with a blank form on it? I think the page name is Mail Test. NO mail received. * * * freewaytalk mailing list email@hidden Update your subscriptions at: [http://freewaytalk.net/person/options](http://freewaytalk.net/person/options) ---

Okay—call off the hounds for now. I don’t why this worked but I deleted all the files from the server by FTP and re-uploaded the site again. Now works. 🙂 Thanks all. * * * freewaytalk mailing list email@hidden Update your subscriptions at: [http://freewaytalk.net/person/options](http://freewaytalk.net/person/options) ---

Great. Now the thing to know about the file I linked you to – that is a test form, it is in fact supposed to be used in isolation, not as the form handler for another form. You use it to test the server, not your form or handler. So if you come back to this issue, upload the test\_form.php file to your server, visit it in a browser, and fill it out. It will send mail to whomever you put in the “To” field, as long as your server works. Walter On Jul 18, 2013, at 1:01 AM, John Cooper wrote: > Okay—call off the hounds for now.

I will assume that php is enabled on your server? And that you are not hosted by GoDaddy? I would try a simple form on an otherwise blank page - you could start with the PHP Feedback Form action instead with it set to have different error pages depending on which error is encountered. (Use the ‘A Page for each Error’ setting) The result of this will help further diagnosis.
