>>
>> You're nearly there. You definitely have PHP on the server. I got the
>> correct "thank you" message. You have also put the script in the correct
>> place (http://www.example.com/formtoemailpro.php) I wouldn't
>> have got the "thank you" message otherwise.
>>
>> If you are not getting the emails, have a look at this page on my support
>> section:
>>
>> https://formtoemail.com/developersupport/not_receiving_email.php
>>
>> Most problems these days are to do with email services marking the emails
>> as "junk". There is a facility in the script to hard-code a From: email
>> address into it. You can then put that email address in a "Friends" list so
>> your email service will accept the emails. More information in the script
>> instructions about that.
>>
>> What you really need to do is spend some time reading through the script
>> instructions and and my support section, here:
>>
>> https://formtoemail.com/developersupport/
>>
>> ...then experiment/play around with it (make a test form page on your
>> website).
>>
>> Your form page doesn't look right and I see what you mean about the PHP
>> code showing up. That's because you shouldn't put any PHP code on an HTML
>> page like your form page. If using my script to process your own form (a
>> very common usage) you only need to change a tiny piece of the HTML code on
>> your form page, this part:
>>
>> <form action="formtoemailpro.php" method="post">
>>
>> ...which you have done correctly.
>>
>> You have added extra code into your form page, which you do not need. Get
>> rid of it all. This is it between the asterisks:
>>
>> *
>> <?php
>>
>> session_start();
>>
>>
>> if(isset($_SESSION['submitted_form_values'])){extract($_SESSION['submitted_form_values']);}
>> $subject = "Comments from contact form";
>> $continue = "/";
>> $auto_redirect = 0;
>> <p><b>State:</b> ff<state></p>
>>
>> <?php if(isset($form_field_name)){print
>> stripslashes($form_field_name);}else{print "";} ?>
>> $pre_populate_form = 0;
>> $show_errors_on_form_page = 0;
>> $word_block = 1;
>> $blocked_words = array('http://','https://','viagra');
>> $gibberish_check = 1;
>> $gibberish_threshold = 6;
>> $gibberish_exclude_fields = 1;
>> $gibberish_fields_to_exclude = array('email','Name','Surname');
>>
>> ?>
>> *
>>
>> The ONLY thing you need to change on your form page (
>> http://www.example.com/ContactUs.html) is the form action (<form
>> action="formtoemailpro.php" method="post">) which you have done correctly.
>>
>> Thereafter, just make sure you have added your email address in your
>> correctly located script.

>>
>> Any questions, just let me know.
