PHP - No input file specified.

Hello All,

I am starting a new thread here, the old one was getting very long.

Gary, I am still struggling getting a form to submit to an email address. A
couple of months from now I'll probably look back on this and wonder how I
could be so dense.

My hosting account was changed to CGI. Now when I try your examples, I keep
getting the error message "No input file specified."

First I tried the form I already had uploaded, then I tried starting over
again from scratch, and the same error message keeps occurring. I don't see
where I can specify the input file. Which file should be specified?

Gary's code is show below, I inserted my email address at the proper spot.

Thanks and Best Regards, Kramer

That error means that the PHP parser cannot find a file that you've
asked it to process. I think you still have hosting issues.

I finally got it figured out. When I switched over to cgi I didn't realize
it but was on a different server. All of my ftp data was pointing to an ip
address and not the domain name, and in switching I was uploading the files
to the old server, which is why the file couldn't be found.

Best Regards, Kramer

Good luck.
