Script not sending attachments

Hello. Love the aFormMail script and has been working fine for weeks! However, this week, the script will no longer send the file attachment. I do have the php configuration file set to: // Attachments
$attachment_enabled = 1;

Like I said, it has been working fine. There have been no changes that I know of to the server, and none to the script.

The only change that has been made is that I use multiple instances of the script, using different php file names and using the path to each script in each html form file. Each of them have been working until this week.

There are no error messages when processing the script, and the e-mails do get sent, just without the attachment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Make your mind up

In aformmail.php you have this link.

if you need assistance. <A

I can appreciate you not wanting to support it but to leave a link and flame anyone wanting help is counterproductive.

Just my view point.

Suggestion

Assuming its just the support you have withdrawn why not have an unsupported area of the forum where users can figure out issues for themselves. I really like the form script but the referrer feature just wouldn't work for me.

I could post the problem to other php boards but they would probably not be familiar with the script.

Yes I know some meathead will be ranting about the lack of support but what's new and we can tell them to read to disclaimer and be thankful its free to use!

Fair enough

Perhaps I will PM the other keen users and see if we can get together somewhere else so you guys don't have the meatheads queuing up.



Are you OK with that. If we did want refinements doing which you didn't want to do and we credit your work is that cool.

Well the way I see it this is a informal way to ask for support no matter what script you have and it should be answered in one way or another for all.

Since you have a formal ticket system that works great and you have stated to get proper support please submit one why not take an hour a week and answer anyones questions here?

I love amember and I think you are making quite a few bucks off of it so why not help out the little guy who is trying to get to know it or use it until they can afford the real pro version. After all if they never make any money out of it how can they afford the pro version? I think this support should be to making it work only

Today, students, we will learn about the basics of software marketing and advertising.

A free (software) product is distributed (and typically supported with a community, seeded by administrators, so users are encouraged to post their solutions as well as solutions from the admin. This creates what we call an FAQ) in order to 1. create understanding about the company who makes the product and 2. drive users to purchase the for-sale offerings.

Those who create a product with this goal in mind should understand that if you tell a user to go get support somewhere else, they wil. And they won't buy the other software offered by said company...

Food for thought.

Counter point

I love this script- it's what got me started. Thank you Alex for developing it and releasing it in the first place. This is not the wrong place to discuss it, rather the best place as an earlier person pointed out. The case will not be closed -you will forever have to waste your time and effort deleting posts....because you released a working script that does it's job EXCELLENTLY - was it your thesis?

Don't even develop a series of faq's -make one (it'll take you 5 minutes)
ok maybe 10....

PHP:

// just comment every line of the code with what it does  

before you know it other people are the experts that are wasting their precious time answering ?'s that make people interested in your other products - heck these people are YOUR market research -and they'll do it for free

OOPS i missed something i guess

Same problem here as the one who started the thread (JMason), no attachments are being sent, while the attachment flag is set to 1.

Everything else works fine, so it is a very good script anyway. A pity there is no support. And yes, I bought amember, even twice.....and there will also be a third one.

If one of the other users of aformmail find out what we all do wrong with that attachments, please let me know..... i don't think i will find it myself.

Cheers all!
