    I have a php script for an email form on a site that works perfectly fine except for when i loaded it to my friends hosting which is through godaddy.com. Any ideas of what i need to change to make godaddy accept my form code? I have a php script and an html form. Do i have to use a different code? Has anyone else had problems with godaddy accepting form code? I'm really new to php so don't know too much about it, but this form works fine through my work server, but through her hosting with godaddy.com it doesn't send any emails. When i get to work tomorrow i can copy the code and add it here. Just hoping to get some ideas of what i can try to change to get it to work.

    Thanks,
    Jackie

    PHP Email script works server side.

    html alone cannot send email.

    Also for future referance it is quite hard to determine the problem without actually viewing the script. Maybe next time you should post it, it saves everyone a lot of time and headache.

    Hello,

    GoDaddy's ASP-equipped servers require a few special configurations to properly generate e-mails, store files, etc. To make these changes, log into your GoDaddy control panel ( Web Hosting > My Hosting Account > Manage Account ), which will bring up your hosting control center.

    Because permissions cannot be modified for the root directory of your account, you'll first need to manually create a special folder in which to store your form files. Select Content > File Manager and check the box associated with the filename you want to set permissions for. Click the Permissions button to add a new folder that is now highlighted above.

    Give your directory the desired permissions (read, Web, browse, write, setroot) and specify a name. Do this by unchecking the Inherit button and checking Read , Write , and All Children to Inherit . Once you click OK , you'll be taken to a page to verify the information.

    Upload the form files into this newly created directory.

    Hope this helps!!!
