web form email to cell phone

R

Rhonda B.

Hello!

I have a form set to send an email from a website form to a cell phone using
the cell phone's email address.

I have tried text within HTML; formatted text; HTML and several other ways
and the recipient is saying she is just getting a string of *************
instead of the text.

The web page the form is on is http://www.globalvo.com/index.html

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Rhonda Bartlett

Rhonda,
I haven't used the email form in a while, but if I remember
correctly it prefaces the field results with a string of asterisks followed
by the text. Since the text is a textarea it will always be at the very
tail-end of the message. It could be the client just needs to scroll down
further and check (I know a friend who fails to scroll down to see all the
content an his cell phone messages).

Hope this helps,

Rhonda,

I would look into using a server side script to send the
email. The programming in that script should allow you a
little more flexibility then what the FP form handler would
do. I have a script specifically for this but it is in ASP
which I do not believe is an option on the Apache server.
Another reason for pulling the action from the FP form
handler is that her email address is now easily harvested by
the various spambots.

also remember that you can't send more than a couple hundred
characters.
