Still no luck I'm afraid...
I've put in my email information into the new_index.txt file that Pat supplied and renamed it as index.php, and put it here: xerte/feedback/index.php
And I've tested the form with two different versions of config.php. For both tests I have had nothing entered in management.php in the field that says: "The site email headers is (use the * symbol to represent a new line)"
TEST1
I've tested the form with the updated version of xerte/config.php
( where line 194 says: $xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n", $row['headers']); )
No joy. I get this in the error log:
mail() on [D:\shared\xerte\feedback\index.php:50]: To: simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk -- Headers: MIME-Version:1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 From: oliver.haslam at uwe.ac.uk Reply-To: oliver.haslam at uwe.ac.uk
TEST2
I've tested the feedback form with the original version of xerte/config.php
( where line 194 says: $xerte_toolkits_site->headers = $row['headers']; )
Still no joy. I now get this in the error log:
mail() on [D:\shared\xerte\website_code\php\error_library.php:183]: To: simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk -- Headers: mail() on [D:\shared\xerte\website_code\php\error_library.php:185]: To: simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk matthew.cownie at uwe.ac.uk -- Headers:
With both tests I get a rather ugly "Thank you for your feedback
Mail sent" message in the browser after submitting the form (see attached).
I need to go home now as I think my brain is full for today. Thanks again for all your help.
