Well the subject of your post says "PHP form not sending to email problem" but your action in your form is sending it to an ASP script "<form action="gdform.asp" method="post">"

Which is it? php or asp?, and what is your asp/php script code?

Well the page itself is a PHP document, but Im using a ASP form to send the results to an email address. should I change the code to send to a PHP instead (and in turn place the php script on the server)?

Here is the ASP script code:

ASP Code: [ Select ]
<%
 
Dim landing_page, host_url
Dim fso, outfile, filename, dirname, myFolder
Dim req_method, key, value
Dim bErr, errStr, bEmpty
On Error resume next
bErr = false
bEmpty = true
errStr = ""
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
host_url = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
req_method = Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")
dtNow = Now()
filename = Server.MapPath("\ssfm")
dirname = filename
filename = filename & "\gdform_" & DatePart("M", dtNow) & DatePart("D", dtNow) & DatePart("YYYY", dtNow) & DatePart("N", dtNow) & DatePart("S", dtNow)
 
Function FormatVariableLine(byval var_name, byVal var_value)
   Dim tmpStr
   tmpStr = tmpStr & "<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=" & var_name & " START>" & vbCRLF
   tmpStr = tmpStr & var_value & vbCRLF
   tmpStr = tmpStr & "<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=" & var_name & " END>"
   FormatVariableLine = tmpStr
end function
 
Sub OutputLine(byVal line)
   outfile.WriteLine(line)
end sub
 
if err.number = 0 then
   Set outfile = fso.CreateTextFile(filename, true, false)
   if err.number <> 0 then
         bErr = true
         errStr = "Error creating file! Directory may not be writable or may not exist.<br>Unable to process request."
   else
      if(req_method = "GET") then
         for each Item in request.QueryString
            if item <> "" then
               bEmpty = false
               key = item
               value = Request.QueryString(item)
               if(lcase(key) = "redirect") then
                  landing_page = value
               else
                  line = FormatVariableLine(key, value)
                  Call OutputLine(line)
               end if
            end if   
         next
      elseif (req_method = "POST") then
         for each Item in request.form
            if item <> "" then
               bEmpty = false
               key = item
               value = Request.form(item)
               if(lcase(key) = "redirect") then
                  landing_page = value
               else
                  line = FormatVariableLine(key, value)
                  Call OutputLine(line)
               end if
            end if   
         next
      end if
      outfile.close
   end if  
   if(bEmpty = true) AND errStr = "" then
      bErr = true
      errStr = errStr & "<br>No variables sent to form! Unable to process request."
   end if
   if(bErr = false) then   
      if (landing_page <> "") then
         response.Redirect "http://" & host_url & "/" & landing_page
      else
         response.Redirect "http://" & host_url
      end if
   else
      Response.Write errStr
   end if  
   set fso = nothing
else
