Submitting a form with php on Small Business Host?

Question

I have a form on my site for people to fill out and submit. When they hit the submit button a php script processes it, sends it to my Yahoo Small Business email address.

It works fine when tested on GoDaddy - but not in Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting.

Per the help doc:

"You will also need to indicate the path to the Yahoo! mail program, Sendmail. The path to Sendmail is /usr/sbin/sendmail."

Since I can't access php.ini with my Small Business account, how do I tell my script what the path to Sendmail is? The code they provided on the help do seems to be a mixture of perl and php - I am just using a php script. Is there a way to tell it the path to Sendmail within the php page with the form processing?

Answer 1

Since you have a paid account, you should have access to all files including the cgi-bin and php files. You are suppose to be able to edit all of your site files from the File Manger online or on your own computer using an FTP program. You need to take a look at the php.config file or go through whatever site management tool given you and set up the SendMail.

Hi Mike,



Sorry you're having trouble. Since each host can have a different requirement for the script to run, we recommend contacting us so we can help you get it functioning properly. In most cases the difference between other hosts and our servers is that we require the "From" email address that is submitting the form to be a domain based email ending in your domain name that your Yahoo! Small Business services are associated with.



Please contact us at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/contactus and we can help.

there is not any such factor as limitless disk house or limitless bandwidth, so watch out from the internet internet hosting businesses that "present" them. I advocate you verify My Webbie Hosting's Corporate Plan. listed here are probably the most plan's characteristic: - 25 G disk house - one Free area identify - 30 area identify hosted, limitless upload-on domains - three hundred e mail bills - credit score/debit card and PayPal repayments approved - web page data - Free web page builder - chat aid, 24/7 mobilephone aid, one-hour price tag reaction time - best $eight.ninety five/month
