Is the problem with hosting server or me?
Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 7:47 am
Hi
I did the tutorial on mailing from an html form with swift3.3.3 and uploaded all to my server like instructed. All the errors work, like invalid email and such but when I click submit it just jumps to a blank screen, I also don't receive any emails so that tells me that its not working correctly.
Can someone have a look at what I've done and tell me if the fault is with me or should I contact my hosting company and clear it up with them.
My first time using PHP so I don't have a clue?
Thanx in advance
this is the handle_form.php
this is the registerCourse.php
and then my success page is just html saying succes.
