Muse contact form not sending email

Hi,

I made a website using Adobe Muse. It contains contact form that is supposed to forward messages to email address hosted by zoho mail. This website is hosted at GoDaddy.com. Unfortunately, the contact form is not working. After filling all the fields and pressing the button the page says “Form received” but in the backend nothing happens.

GoDaddy is saying that the contact form needs to have a SMTP relay server in the PHP script for the contact form to send the messages to zoho email. I do not know much about coding and thus I request help with setting up this SMTP relay server information in the contact form php script please.

The link to the contact us form on the website is as follows and php check is passing.

http://siliconsputteringtargets.com/contact-us.html

Pointing us to your web page is not much help, I’m afraid. We need to see the PHP code.

Is there not a configuration option in the Muse contact form to use SMTP servers?

I agree that seeing the PHP code is important.

There is invalid HTML
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fsiliconsputteringtargets.com%2Fcontact-us.html&showsource=yes

<button class="submit-btn NoWrap rounded-corners clearfix grpelem" id="u5897-4" data-muse-uid="U5897" data-muse-type="txt_frame" type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="4">
<!-- content --> 
 <div style="margin-top:-14px;height:14px;"> 
  <p>Submit</p> 
 </div> 
</button> 

I don’t know what else might be involved, but removing flow content where only phrasing content is permitted would be a good place to start.

sorry for previous post, here is better formatting for form-u5886.php

I am afraid not. It just lets you use a widget to draw the contact form (much like you would do in powerpoint). No coding involved in this.

My issues is close to the following posts but the difference is that they get an error after submitting the contact form whereas I do not. I tried these solutions (to the best of my abilities) but got nowhere :pensive:

https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/smtp-settings-for-muse-simple-contact-form/277416

@cpradio please help. I know you have solved problems like this in past. I am stuck with this issue hoping for someone to help me please.

What error do they get? And what is different between the set-up where you do not get an error, and the set-up where they do?

@dropsnoot

Situation changed. I had to modify the PHP script and add SMTP coding in there. Now I am also getting and error when I submit the form. The error is “The server encountered an error”

That’s such a generic error message that you would need to show the code that generated it, with some lines before it to show how any variables are generated.
