OMG, i'm going insane. please help...Script error

[jmorse00]

ok. So for the last two days i've been working on trying to get this form up and running and i've had nothing but dissapointment.

Finally, I said ok fine. i'll use the sample form and a fresh copy of the php file and get that one working....problem is i cant even get that one to work.

After submitting the form, i get this error on the website:

"An error occurred while processing the form .

The staff at *****.com have been alerted to the error .
*******.com apologizes for any inconvenience this error may have caused. "

Then i get the email :

Subject : Script error

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


email: james@*****.com
realname: james

FullName: 'james'
EmailAddr: 'james@*******.com'
contact: 'Y'
vehicles: 'Truck'
mesg: ''
Referring page was http://www.**********.com/test/sampleform.htm
SERVER_NAME was *********.com
REQUEST_URI was /test/formmail.php

User IP address was **.**.**.***
User agent was Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.6; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; BRI/2) "

This was the same error i was getting when i tried using my form. Now I am also getting it when i use the sample form as well.

The only thing i changed on the sampleform.htm was:

form method="post" action="http://******.com/test/formmail.php" name="SampleForm">
and
<input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="james@****.com" />

and on the php file, i only changed the

$TARGET_EMAIL = array(EMAIL_NAME."james@*********\.com$");
and
define("DEF_ALERT","james@*******.com");

Can someone please help me before i go insane?

Thank you so much

Hi,

no valid recipients were specified.
. . .
and on the php file, i only changed the

$TARGET_EMAIL = array(EMAIL_NAME.james@*********\.com$);

That error message means there's a problem with $TARGET_EMAIL. Since you only want one specific email address to be allowed, it should be:

$TARGET_EMAIL = array("^james@*******\.com$");

This is clearly defined on the Tectite website: http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/target_email.php

. . . as well as numerous posts about this in the forum if you do a search for that error message.

The search feature is your friend.

made exactly the same change as suggested by ginger for james:

$TARGET_EMAIL = array("^james@*******\.com$");
but with my email address of course - and also have a "hidden" input element in my form as suggested in documentation - formmail passes through to 'success notification' page as it should - but STILL no email notifications.

- but STILL no email notifications.

Any Luck with this yet?

If you're receiving the success page but no email, check out the email troubleshooting guide:

to WilliamJames;

followed gingers suggestion - went to help at:
http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/faq....formmail_email

am now getting all form submissions (properly formatted as expected) but all arrive in spam folder. But at least they are arriving. Have been told it is a DNS problem which is fixable

The more difficult part was writing in a link to our site page containing link to paying for desired membership - took a while to find the code in formmail. Found createPage() function at lines 6515 where I was able to write in code for a link to appear on formmail 'success page' for clients to get to our "correct page". That page is 'invisible' to users unless they fill form out first
