If you actually posted the code rather than including a link to a zip file, someone may bother to help.

Depends, edwin, If it's short, it's definitely better to post the code. If the code's more than about 40 lines, I believe the forum rules suggest, a zip file is called for. I can't imagine this'd be more than 40 lines. How about it, buzzby?

The code was considerably longer than 40 lines, and he was right to post it as a zip file..

in this portion of the code
PHP Code:
 $sql = "insert into getstarted(name, email, contactAddress, mobile, workHomeTel, contactPostcode, projectPostcode, projectGarden, projectLoft, projectRefit, projectXtension, shopUse, officeUse, homeUse, otherUses, engineer, partywall, projectManager, design, lifestyle, strucural, planning, buildingRegs, otherHelp, wheelchair, partialEyesight, terraced, familyChildren, semiDetached, aged, allergy, detached, other, otherNeeds, needsRefurbishment, needsExtraSpace, needsExtraLight, contemporaryDesignstyle, traditionalDesignstyle, mixedDesignstyle, progTimeComplete1month, progTimeComplete6months, progTimeComplete9months, budgetCost3kto14k, budgetCost15kto45k, budgetCostOver45k, importantThanCostYes, importantThanCostNo, importantThanCostMaybe, importantThanProgYes, importantThanProgNo, importantThanProgMaybe, importantThanDesYes, importantThanDesNo, importantThanDesMaybe, build2rent, build2sell, build2keep, otherBuildingNotes) values ('{$_POST['name']}','{$_POST['email']}','{$_POST['contact_address']}','{$_POST['mobile']}','{$_POST['workhome_tel']}','{$_POST['contact_postcode']}','{$_POST['project_postcode']}','{$_POST['project_garden']}','{$_POST['project_loft']}','{$_POST['project_refit']}','{$_POST['project_extension']}','{$_POST['use_shop']}','{$_POST['use_office']}','{$_POST['use_home']}','{$_POST['use_other']}','{$_POST['engineer']}','{$_POST['partywall']}','{$_POST['projectmanager']}','{$_POST['design']}','{$_POST['lifestyle']}','{$_POST['strucural']}','{$_POST['planning']}','{$_POST['buildingregs']}','{$_POST['otherhelp']}','{$_POST['wheelchair']}','{$_POST['partialeyesight']}','{$_POST['terraced']}','{$_POST['familychildren']}','{$_POST['semidetached']}','{$_POST['aged']}','{$_POST['allergy']}','{$_POST['detached']}','{$_POST['other']}','{$_POST['otherneeds']}','{$_POST['needrefurb']}','{$_POST['need_xspace']}','{$_POST['need_xlight']}','{$_POST['designstyle_contemporary']}','{$_POST['designstyle_traditional']}','{$_POST['designstyle_mixed']}','{$_POST['programtimecompletion_1m']}','{$_POST['programtimecompletion_6m']}','{$_POST['programtimecompletion_9m']}','{$_POST['budgetcost_3kto14k']}','{$_POST['budgetcost_15kto45k']}','{$_POST['budgetcost_over45k']}','{$_POST['importantthancost_yes']}','{$_POST['importantthancost_no']}','{$_POST['importantthancost_maybe']}','{$_POST['importantthanprogram_yes']}','{$_POST['importantthanprogram_no']}','{$_POST['importantthanprogram_maybe']}','{$_POST['importantthandesign_yes']}','{$_POST['importantthandesign_no']}','{$_POST['importantthandesign_maybe']}','{$_POST['whybuild_rent']}','{$_POST['whybuild_sell']}','{$_POST['whybuild_keep']}','{$_POST['otherbuildingnotes']}')";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or print(mysql_error());
//mail($to, $subject, $msg, $additional_headers);
mail($_POST['email'],'hello there','Hello '.$_POST['name'].', thank you for filling out the form ', "From: [email]athompson@building-doctors.com[/email]");
echo "<table border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 ><tr><td>";
echo 'Hello '.$_POST['name'].', thank you for filling out the form ';
echo "</tr></td></table>";
echo "<body onLoad=redirect() text=#000000 link=#00FFFF vlink=#C0C0C0>";
}

Fair points, but I'd rather be able to look at the code without having to download and save a zip file.

I generally agree, provided code's wrapped in code tags. If that's the concensus, then the forum guidelines need to change to reflect it and mods need to be made aware of the change so that we can make consistent recommendations one way or the other.

Basically, for as long as I can recall, these boards rules have stated that code past 40 lines should be uploaded as an attachment.

If anyone has any reason to contest that, you should contact a forum moderator who can possibly have the rules looked into.

The post was legit so lets stick to doing what the board was meant for... Helping people!

If you have winzip or any other archive front-end utility, you should be able to open from the web, double-click the text file inside the archive, and your text editor should fire up... Of course my assumption is that you have a text editor installed and text files are associated to it.

Should not be a huge deal.

Do you know where the code is failing? Is the record being added to the database? If not, you should echo the resulting SQL query to the browser and check it out.
