Re: How to Add a Feeback Form

Thomas,

Thanks. I use the mvps.org server to post my webpages:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/

I have sent an e-mill to admin@xxxxxxxx asking if the server supports PHP
(it does support ASP as that is my current feedback script) but have not
gotten an answer. Maybe you know if you use that server?

I understand your suggestion on what to do generally, but this
freecontactform site appears to be just starting up and they don't have the
support available yet. There are some very basic directions provided with
the download, but like I said initially, I think a person needs more than
the basic grasp of Frontpage and scripting than I have to understand it.

What I like about this freecontactform script is that it requires the person
submitting the feedback to sum up a pair of random numbers to validate the
form which should eliminate the scads of spam I get as feedback.

You need to first determine what server-side (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CFM)
scripting is supported by your web host, then you can ask for help
based on that information. Then someone may be able to recommend a
solution.
In general, if you download a 3rd party script, then you need to go
back to source for support.
Let say your web host does support PHP, then instead of someone
having to have knowledge of the specific script you are trying to
use, that has no support, they could recommend another possible
solution.

"Do you want to help?" Apparently not.

Let's say I do contact my web host and determine that it doesn't
support PHP applications. Then suppose I decide to find a server
that does. Then would I have sufficient cause to seek help applying
the code in the freecontact form scripts? --

Thomas,

Thanks for the cloudy response. Being an Word MVP myselft, I
understand the tendancy to be a bit abbreviated at times in a
response. In this case, it doesn't help. That is a bit cynical as
I believe I made it clear that I don't know what PHP is. Hence, I
hardly know if my server supports PHP or not. The blog is of no
help. What I am looking for here is someone that has applied this
application (or willing to try) and then share with me and the rest
of this group how they did it. Do you want to help? --

First you site must be hosted on a server that supports PHP, does
yours?
You need to contact the author of the application.

I have a very basic website with a User Feedback form. Today I
saw a link to a free Contact form that validates the user data and
asks a question to eliminate spam. http://www.freecontactform.com/

The down load contains a zip file that extracts as a bunch of php
file extensions. There are some "basic" instructions but
unfortunately they must be written for someone that understands
what a php file is and how to use them Hopefully someone hear
does, likes the free script and will be willing to provide a few
details on how one would incorporate it in an existing website. Thank
you.
