Two very important questions here:
1) How is this form sending email? - SMTP or sendmail?
2) IF sendmail, do you have an appropriate sendmail equivalent installed on the mac and the windows machine?

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 09:44 AM

Thank you so much for your reply! I thought the form was sending it POST. That code I posted in my original thread is the actual form itself that then calls on the recaptcha and other files. But, the weird thing is that the form sends successfully from Firefox and IE on my PC laptop, but not from my client's PC or my MAC. I hope this answers your question correctly?

**tangoforce** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:01 AM

No it doesn't answer it correctly.

You clearly have Apache and PHP installed on your laptop. Do you also have something like fakesendmail or msmtp?

Next, do the other computer that can't send email also have it installed?

Also the form and the email are two different things. The form should work on all computers assuming you have the correct html path for the form tag so the browser submits successfully. Sending email is different. You need to be clear as to which one is the real issue because your first post you say the emails don't work on the other computers and in this reply you're talking about the form submitting saying it doesn't work on the other computers.

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:12 AM

I apologize for not answering correctly. I am not a programmer but have a very basic understanding of this type of coding.

As far as I know, I am unaware of anything specific installed on my own laptop, like Apache. I have never heard of fakesendmail or msmtp, so if it is on my laptop, I am unaware of it.

From my client's PC and my MAC at work, I have no idea if Apache, fakesendmail or msmtp are installed. If I had to guess, I would say they aren't.

The form does work and sends the form correctly with the file attachment from FF and IE from my PC laptop. The problem is when my client submits the form from his PC (he used Firefox) or when I tried submitting the form from my MAC (using safari and firefox) at work, the form does redirect to the thank-you.php BUT the email never arrives. So, on the user end, the thank you page does come up, but is not always sending the email successfully. This is why I am confused because it is sending the email successfully from my PC laptop, but not from my client's PC or my MAC.

Should I be using a method other than POST for this type of thing, since the code says there is a bug?

**tangoforce** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:26 AM

POST is fine and is designed for form submissions.

Now.. You've never heard of apache, and to the best of your knowledge it's not installed.. so what webserver are you using on your laptop? - IIS?

fakesendmail/msmtp will not be on any machine unless you specifically download it so NO you don't have it.

Where exactly are you putting these files on your computer? - Whats the file path? - Reason I ask is that this all sounds a bit strange to me. Most people who are writing webpages and using php know what apache is yet you've no idea and claim your scripts are working and sending email. If you're using IIS then that would explain it but if you're not then something weird is happening.

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:39 AM

The entire website and domain name are hosted at Go Daddy and the form's files are all in one folder on the server. The hosting specs are as follows:
OS/Hosting Type is: Linux / Shared Hosting.
Hosting configuration: 2.1
PHP Version: 5.2
Bandwidth: unlimited
IIS: I don't see a line for this in the dashboard when I login

It is very strange that the email works perfectly from my laptop, but when I do it from my MAC or when my client tried to submit it, the email never arrived. This is why I am very confused but wondering if it has something to do with Go Daddy's individual setup? Thank you for your attention this!

**tangoforce** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:42 AM

Ok now we're making progress. See when you wrote this below it literally sounded like you were running this ON your laptop.

Have you done the usual like checking the spam filters?

Can you also supply us the URL to the form?

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 10:54 AM

My apologies!! I meant that I was using my laptop PC as the computer I was using, and then my client used his PC and then also tried submitting the form from my MAC. So I thought it was a PC vs. MAC thing, but it can't be since my client and I are both using PC's and only my form worked.

The URL to the form is here: dependableprint.com/oderNEWFORM.php

It uses an iframe to call on the order form page (the original website where I got this form from said this is ok to do). The form's scripts and pages live here: dependableprint.com/order/index.php (this is the code I pasted in my opening thread).

**tangoforce** · Sep 12, 2011, 11:00 AM

You've got to work on your communication a bit..

You've posted two completely different URLs. One doesn't exist (even when I added the slash onto the end of /order) and the other does have a form.. but then why supply the first url?

I have a feeling that this file might be at fault:
./include/fgcontactform.php

Please post it wrapped in [php] tags.

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 11:06 AM

My mistake, I had a typo in the link: http://dependableprint.com/orderNEWFORM.php (but I don't think you need this as you stated).

The form and all its file are in a folder called "order" here: http://dependableprint.com/order/ or go to http://dependableprint.com/order/index.php

Here is the code for "fgcontactform.php"

Also, the code for "class.phpmailer.php" exceeds the limit and won't allow me to post. If you need to see this code, the file is here: http://dependableprint.com/order/inc....phpmailer.php

**tangoforce** · Sep 12, 2011, 11:23 AM

You would of just been best using PHPMailer directly instead of using a class that uses PHPMailer internally as it's not looking for PHPMailer errors.

Open PHP mailer, look at line 1471 and show me the code please. I suspect it has something stupid about the phpverion < 6. If it does change it to 5 and do the same a few lines below as this caused me problems recently. The file you're looking for is class.phpmailer.php iirc.

**jewelsmac66** · Sep 12, 2011, 11:55 AM

The lines from 1419-1525 from "class.phpmailer.php" are below, but I don't think they say anything about the version.

However, starting on line 1745, there is a long list of mime types. On line 1797 it lists: 'php', 'php3' and 'php4'. I attached the entire file (in TXT format) for you to see in full length.

If this is too much of a pain, I am absolutely open to using a new formmailer. As long as it has a file attachment field to upload any file format from any computer or browser.

Thank you!!

If the TXT file didn't attach, you can view the code here in TXT format: http://dependableprint.com/order/inc...r.php_code.txt
