Hi, This is my first post on actual coding, very exciting.
I am in the process of switching to yahoo webhosting and I have having problems.
I have a few very simple forms where people enter thier email address, name, ect.and I get the info via email. When submitted, the pages get stuck on the .php page and then I get a page can not be displayed.
The forms work fine on the current hosting service. I do not know what the problem could be. Is it possible that yahoo hosting does not support the mailto function?

Looks like you have to have at least their standard package to get PHP/MySQL support. That is if you are builing in PHP.

I have the best package, the professional one. I am very new at coding and I think the main thing is that it works on the old host,not yahoo.

What do you variables look like? It might be that Register Globals was turned to ON on your old host but now it is OFF. If it is off you must use $_POST['variable_name'] and $_GET['variable_name'].
