Error when submitting forms

I have had machform running successfully for quite a while. Recently I have been getting the following error: "Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/nwcp/public_html/machform/lib/class.phpmailer.php on line 469" The error pops up when submitting the form, but the record is still kept in the database. The form is also supposed to e-mail to people when submitted and that is not happening any more either.

It sounds as if your hosting provider has upgraded to PHP version 5.3. The function split() has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. I know this does not solve your problem but it may give you an idea why you are receiving this message. Hopefully Yuniar can give you a work-around. If you're running an older version of Machform, then possibly the mailer library has been updated in a newer version. I'm running version 3.4 and 3.5 with PHP 5.3.x and I'm having no problems.

nwcp -- You'll need to update your machform to at least v2.4. If possible, I suggest to update to v3.5

OK, so I see where to download 2.4. Is there an upgrade procedure? Also, what would be involved in upgrading to 3.5?

If you are updating to v2.4 -- simply update your files (excluding the config.php and "data" folder).
If you are updating to v3.5, follow this step:

So just FTP into the server and overwrite the files? excluding config.php and the data folder, obviously. I am noticing that the data folder from the zip I downloaded only contains the .htaccess file and that there is no config.php, though there is a config-empty.php.

Yes, that is correct. Simply update the files, make sure not to overwrite your data folder and the config.php file

So I followed the update steps and it seems to be working. At least the PHP error is gone. But it is still not sending e-mails. Since I don't have a settings tab, where would I go to check those settings? Also, is there an error log for the mailing feature?

You should have the settings tab - the main menu across the top of the Admin screen, contains:
Manage Forms
Edit Themes
Users
>>>> Settings <<<<<<
My Account
Help
Sign OutIn the settings page (when you get to it) in the blue pane is "Use SMTP Server to Send Emails" Click the check-box, the panel expands to reveal the mail server options etc. (mail server name, your user name, password (for authentication against the mail server for outgoing e-mail).

I am running 2.4 now. I go to index.php and login, and the only tabs I have across the top are "Manage Forms" and "Logout."

If you are using v2.4, you can configure the SMTP settings by editing the config.php file

I have set the SMTP settings in the config.php file based on what was suggested in other forum posts. We use Google Apps. I get the error: "Error sending email: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host." I also submitted a trouble ticket for this with no response.
