How did you discover that the host supports both FPSE and PHP? What is
the host?
In general I think you are correct about it being wiser to use PHP...or
something other than FPSE. I think most hosts provide a alternative
forms program that will work. My host has ultra-mail installed in the
cgi bin, and I can use that to power a form. I also like being able to
use FTP and not be dependent upon the fickle FPSE that many hosts are
not supporting any more. In all your spare time <g> why don't you work
up some instructions for how to use PHP that we can post for people?
About the only drawback from moving away from FPSE is that the
incremental uploading feature is also dependent upon FPSE to work. But
then I don't trust that anyway...

It appears that the host for this account supports FPSE and PHP
PHP is much easier in my opinion and you can use FTP to upload the site
Also using PHP your email address is not in the source code for the
crawlers
to capture and spam the dickens out of it.

Welp, you musta missed it, because it's been stated only about a
zillion times a year.
For Publisher's built in forms to work, you must:
1- Have FrontPage Server Extensions installed and working and
configured to allow for the form handler to work.
2- You must publish your website to your server via the http://
method (not via ftp, which will break the extensions)
In your case: Your web does NOT have the FPSE installed at all.
----
Ask your host if they can install the FPSEs (many hosts are not
supporting them any longer).
If they can also make sure they enable them for the forms.
IF NOT;
Ask them what form handlers they have or support, then you will have
to use that to re-write the form. And, ask where their help files for
the handler are located on their site - usually they will have this.
