When trying to use the form an http 404 message appears.
I'm not sure whether this problem is due to my site being on PAYH while ccgi-bin is on old platform.
My feedback page is at http://www.tonysmith123.plushost.co.uk/Feedback.htm
Could anyone please advise on where I am going wrong?

I couldn't help him though with the location of the relevant script for the PAYH platform.
I'm sure there is a formail.php script or similar but i dont know where it is or how to action it on the new platform

Quote <FORM METHOD=”POST” ACTION=”http://homepages.plus.net/cgi-bin/form”>
should be:
Quote <FORM METHOD=”POST” ACTION=”http://homepages.plus.net/cgi-bin/form.php”>
Also, ensure this form.php is set to chmod 777

PAYH does not offer any scripts by default as there are a number of free script out there available for users to get and use.
For form mail scripts, we have a number of customers using Jacks Form Mail which can be found on the link below:

Hope that helps

Quote from: SoulBriski Does he not need to be pointing his action="" to the equivalent PAYH homepages
I believe he is? (i.e the cgi-bin folder?)

It should be set to 777 (or is it 775?), try both

Could you possibly provide a link please to explain how I set to chmod 777 (or 775).
Thanks again.

As you've correctly sussed, there IS actually a form mail script on homepages, not PAYH. It doesn't matter if the form page is on PAYH.
Your script has curly quotes all the way from method="post" to name="Realname". Replace them with plain quotes and it should work.
edit: and take the .php off again.

Thanks a lot for advice, I never knew there were 2 types of quotation marks!
Getting rid of the "curly" symbols has changed things and things seem more promising.
However, I now receive this message
Bad Referrer - Access Denied
The form attempting to use FormMail resides at http://www.tonysmith123.plushost.co.uk/Feedback.htm, which is not allowed to access this cgi script.
If you are attempting to configure FormMail to run with this form, you need to add the following to @referers, explained in detail in the README file.
Add 'www.tonysmith123.plushost.co.uk' to your @referers array
Could you advise on what this means please (have looked at README but cannot see solution).
Tony

I think the script on homepages will only accept calls from https pages. Try putting the form in httpsdocs and calling it with https://etc.
At this point, your browser will flag up a certificate conflict - you can add an exception, but you might decide, for ease of use, that the form itself would be better served from homepages. Alternatively, install your own copy of that script, or another, on PAYH, and set it to accept calls from http.

I do appreciate your help but I'm getting out of my depth in trying to create Feedback form. On the old server I had a form which relied on FP extensions but was very simple. On the new server, I was hoping I could have alternative which was fairly simple as I am a novice and not really into scripts etc (you probably gathered that from my ?s). Unfortunately, it seems to be much more complicated than I imagined.
I think I'll just insert an email link back to myself on my website as I can manage that!
Thanks again for all your help.
Tony

To do this you need to edit the FormMail.pl perl script and add a comma and then 'www.tonysmith123.plushost.co.uk' inside the brackets on the line starting with @referers.
This is a basic access control mechanism and is easily circumvented - you've probably already seen the email below:
