I installed this script with a basic test form on my domain. The script requires that I put in values for where the script is being run from (eg, domain.com) which I have done. My problem is that the script works when other people use it, but when I try and test it, it tells me that I'm coming from an unauthorised domain!

It seems to be using HTTP_REFERER to check this and when I have it print this value out in the error message it doesn't seem to be grabbing any value at all when I use the form - which would explain the error.

Thinking it might be a browser issue (I usually use IE6) I tried it in NS4.7 and NS6 and got the same error. Strangely, when I tried from my daughter's PC which is networked to mine and sharing the internet connection it worked fine! (She has IE5 BTW)

Why am I seemingly the only person on the planet who can't use my own script on my own domain?! Confused

Welcome to TWF SP

Are you trying to test the form from the actual site online or from your local version of it?

Are you by any chance running some kind of privacy software or firewall on your computer?
