How can I use forms with godaddy?
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2014 6:47 am
Unfortunately some hosting accounts on godaddy hosting do not support phpmail.
This means that you cannot use the built-in form processor, because it relies on phpmail to send emails.
However you can still use forms created in Quick 'n Easy Web Builder with godaddy! But instead of using the built-in form processor you will need to use godaddy's own form processor.
Step 1:
Create your form as usual, but do not enable 'use built-in php form processor'!
Step 2:
In the action property of the form enter:
/gdform.php
Step 3:
Make the encoding type property empty.
Step 4:
In 'Hidden fields' add the following fields:
Name: subject
Value: Form Submission
(where 'Form Submission' is the name of the subject)
Name: redirect
Value: thankyou.html
(where 'thankyou.html' is the name of the 'Thank you' page.
Name: email
Value: your@emailaddress.com
(controls the return address for the form email.)
