Re-directing forms from one site to another.

[lentin]

Hi

I have two addresses for basically the same site.http://www.lentin.freeuk.com and http://www.olivegrove-travel.com

The Freeuk site was what I used before we got our own website address, but it is so high on all search engines apart from Google that I don't really want to take it off.

The problem that I have is to do with form submission. I am receiving the forms sent by users of "Olivegrove" but not those using "Freeuk".

Could you please view source and tell me what I have done wrong.

The other problem that I have is that when I receive email from the "Olivegrove" site, the email address that appears is " webmaster@www.olivegrove-travel.com (www.olivegrove-travel.com sending on behalf of '') ". Would it be possible to also put me right on this so that I receive the proper email address only.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Really sorry. It's the boookings page on both sites that have the form.

Hi lentin,

it is likely the send mail CGI script you are using calls a &check_url; subroutine. Meaning that if the script is called from a different domain, other than the one configured into the script, well, the script will not execute. This is so people can not use and abuse your script from their own sites.

If you do have such a subroutine, you probably have an array within your script something like this

@referers = ('olivegrove-travel.com','000.000.00.0');

The blank IP is only for display purposes here, within your script it's probably a valid one.

You should be able to get away with just adding the other domain to the array like so...

@referers = ('olivegrove-travel.com','lentin.freeuk.com','000.000.00.0');

Please keep in mind these are only assumptions. I am unable to view your actual script, so I can not specifically comment to well. There are many variations of send mail scripts. Also, If you are not comfortable with editing code I don't recommend it, but it's always good to back up before you do.

I may not be to clear with your second question, again I'm assuming. Are you saying that the actual return address does not appear correctly, in order to reply to the sender? Whatever the case, that would be more difficult to comment on without seeing the actual script and how it coincides with the form data...

Thanks for that, I will check the script and come back and let you know the result.

Thanks again

I thought it would be easier to re-direct anyone who wants to make a booking to the proper site, so that's what I've done.

You were right in your post, but the part of my brain needed to change it is in the 90%.

Thanks again
