no_valid_recipients error

[tubaguy0]

Hello and thanks for the great script, first of all.

I'm having some trouble getting the script to work properly.

First, when I have my html set to use "post," I get an error message that says "It appears the form is not working correctly as there was no data found."

So I set the method to "get". When I submit the form this way, I get an error message and a "FormMail script error" e-mail sent to me with the following text and all of my form fields:

The following error occurred in FormMail:
no_valid_recipients
**********
Error=The form has an internal error - no valid recipients were specified.

Here is the relevent section of my form:

<form method="get" action="http://visitingscientists.org/cgi-bin/formmail.php" name="application_form">
   
   <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="tubaguy0@fastmail.fm" />
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="application_form" />
   <input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER" />

... and the relevent part of the script config:

$TARGET_EMAIL = array(EMAIL_NAME."@fastmail\.fm$", 
         		      EMAIL_NAME."@unm\.edu$", 
         		      EMAIL_NAME."@pcgraphweb\.com$", 
         		      );

The urls are:

UPDATE:I've discovered that the no_valid_recipients error message only occurs when using Firefox... IE 6.0 seems to work fine.

Hi,

I'm guessing that FireFox doesn't know how to submit a form with the GET method. Just a guess.

Does IE work with the POST method?

[tubaguy0]

no it doesn't. maybe i should give my isp a call.

Hi,

It certainly sounds like your server isn't processing POST method. This might be a (poorly considered) "security" feature on your server.

That's why you can use the GET method with FormMail.

But, if FireFox doesn't support forms with the GET method, there's not much we can do about that.
