Mail Form

Yeah. That's obvious. In fact, it says PHP under the Windows hosting: http://ucvhost.com/shared.htm

Ha, I really don't have the money to switch hosts right now either.

I'll have to host the one file somewhere else, then.

Ok, the script is on a client's server and refreshes back to the site. This'll have to do.

This Indian customer service lady is sending me an asp script for mailing. It's possible to submit the php page to the asp page, yes?

They haven't configured it correctly. On UNIX systems, where the sendmail program is installed, setting up PHP for mail is simple: just give it the path to the sendmail executable. On Windows, though, one must point it to an external SMTP server and give it an account.

With godaddy hosting (what I use, just as an example, since I assume this is not your host), on my linux account PHP works without problems. On my windows account, it works well, too. The only difference is that mail() doesn't work on windows. Simple as that. Perhaps they can fix it.
I don't think they are suggesting that you must use ASP over PHP for all things, but that mail() won't work for PHP, so you should use an ASP email script instead. That's not going to do you much good, but maybe it's an option for a single page.

Alright, thanks guys.

I may invest in my own server soon. It's the summer, I have time. I'll have the money soon enough. It would save this junk. Haha.

For a normal web server, an ordinary PC will do. I even knew someone to set one up on a router. Connection speed is much more important. Note that with home ISPs, the up speed (which is more useful to a server) tends to be drastically smaller than the down speed.

[alexjewell]

Well, I have dial up. That's the other issue. Haha.

We'll see. Thanks Twey.
