I have been using a form for quite a while with no problems. I added two file attachment fields and now the form is broken. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Here is the error:

Could not instantiate mail function.

Hi tjhaas,

If you submit the form without file uploads does the email send OK?

I can see a couple of possible problems: the To and From Email addresses are the same - that can cause problems; there's a space in the file name which might need fixing if you want to link to it (URLencoding will probably do it).

That said the failed to instantiate message usually flags a problem with the email settings either in the Site Global Configuration or the CF Settings. Please check that they are OK.

Bob

I have the form sending now, but no attachment. What am I missing?

Hi tjhaas,

Two things to check:

+ Is the Upload Files action before the Email action?

+ Do you have file1,file2 in the Attachments box of the Email action?

Bob

Forgot the attachment box in email action.

Thanks
