Hello Guys! Can anybody help me? I receive the following message when I hit the send button “Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/newcombg/public_html/contactssendform.php on line 8″.

Does this php form work with the preview in a browser? (not hosted online)
I have been trying to view it through safari, but with no luck. I guess you can’t because Nate didn’t even test it before uploading it.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
I have checked for typos many times already. Whenever I enter the html code of my webpage, the last part of it turns all red. (IncludingEOD;echo “$theResults”;) When I click on the submit button online after uploading to my server, I dont receive an email and it sends me to my address with the contactformprocess.php file at the end.
Please help Im very frustrated and tired. Its 321AM

Have you ever had this problem? At the top of the results page it is saying: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam content in D:\Hosting\5523277\html\contactformprocess.php on line 55

I have followed your tutorial and when I am trying to send the message, it gives the following error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\contac tformprocess.php on line 31
Thank you for your interest! Your email will be answered very soon!
Is that I have been using localhost and have no proper server or is? it something else

hi! i followed this tuturial carefully and the form only half works. i do get an email but the name, info, comment (my three fields) are blank in the email. basically the email coming through is like:
—————————————————————-
Name:
Email:
Comment:
Do you have any ideas as to why name, email, comment comes through blank?
Brilliantly useful tutorial people ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

@xinsanendabrainx no problem… also make sure to change the headers line to the following:
$headers = “From: $emailField\r\n”;

I’ve tried this twice now and it still doesn’t work. I’ve checked everything character for character but it still doesn’t work. This tutorial doesn’t work

PHAEDON!!!!! You just saved me from going crazy! I must have watched this vid. 50 times trying to figure out what was wrong…THanks!!!!
February 18th, 2010 at 9:38 am
no problem. otherwise, this is a great tutorial. thanks!
February 18th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Phaedon…thank you for the response! I read through the strand and figured it out…everything is in good working order! Thanks a bunch!!!
February 18th, 2010 at 9:38 am
The video tutorial is wrong. The Email: $email line (and subsequent lines) should read Email: $emailField
February 18th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Hi! This has been a great tutorial! Everything has worked so for except when the form is submitted the information doesn’t actually process and show in the email. Any ideas??? Thanks so much for your willingness to help!
