Web Template help

Well, sad to say, it's not working correctly. Are you sure when you said my webhosting should support this code? When hitting the request button now, I get a screen saying there is a server side error and the info can't be processed. I'll have to get back with their support people. They told me before they didn't support php coding within an email, but I was hopeful when you said they could. Their php form mailer basically is a couple text boxes and then a bigger text area for comments, I don't really want that.Maybe I did something wrong but I think this one might be on their side.
Once again, I really like this type of form and will be looking at how much hassle is involved in switching my hosting if they can't support my site the way I want it. I don't know how hard it will be to find but your host at least let's you do it.

Well, it's official. The response from godaddy is they don't allow custom form mailer scripts, only the one they provide you. Funny, since the email support request and their customer survey employ some of the same things they won't let me do. Frustrating since I thought they would be at least a reliable host and now i have to look for another. Thanks for all your help Lightning.

I switched my webhosting to Globat.com. I was really pretty confused because their are SO many hosting services and I read of so many scams that I was ready to just pay alot and go with SBC because at least they're not going away tomorrow. I read some really good reviews of Globat and they were ranked very high in a couple of forums so I gave them a try.
The switch was pretty smooth and the pricing was about the same as for the Godaddy account and I get alot more space. Sad to say that even though their server runs my PHP script that Lightning did for me, it is still not working. It shows going to the email.php in the browser, then I get a blank screen and it says "done" in the lower left toolbar. I also get no mail and it doesn't take me back to the contact page like it's supposed to.
For all the aggravation it's causing me, I think I'm just going to take it to a local design place ( if I can find a reasonable one), and see if they can just make that one form work so I can be done with my site. Lightning helped an awful lot but it's probably very difficult when you're working over the net and dealing with a code rock like me. I've learned an awful lot of computer stuff the last few weeks for a guy just trying to make the grass green.
BTW, what do you think of what I've done with your template (assuming I can make it all work)?

Hi Turfsurfer,

I am loading your site now http://www.easyacreslawncare.com

I really like this "To find out how we can put the green grass on YOUR side of the fence, CALL"
that is an attention getter. Your site looks good.

I saw your great pictures too. If you are interested, we could take a few of your pictures and turn them into marketing material and web templates. We could then post these on our forum. Let us know if this would be something that would be ok with you.
