Hi Vishal,
Here is some feedback regarding my problem. The SMTP Authentication version also did not work. After a lot of googling it seems the problem is with Godaddy. They do not allow form emails to be sent in that way, but they supply their own form file. So I did the following:
In my Godaddy account settings I entered the email address I want my form to send the messages to. Then Godaddy automatically creates a gdform.php file and places it in my rootdirectory.
I then created contact.html and copy pasted godaddy's demo form:
<form action="/gdform.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Submission" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" />
<p>First Name:<input type="text" name="FirstName" /></p>
<p>Last Name:<input type="text" name="LastName" /></p>
<p>E-Mail:<input type="text" name="email" /></p>
<p>Comments:<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10">
Type comments here.</textarea></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
So contact.html sends the information to gdform.php which in turn sends it to my email. This is the only way it get a form to work on godaddy. But unfortunately the form is very simple, no design, no captcha, no validation.
I do not know php, how easy/difficult is it to modify your form to send the message via gdform.php?
FYI, this is the gdform.php code:
<?php
$request_method = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
if($request_method == "GET")
{
$query_vars = $_GET;
}
elseif ($request_method == "POST")
{
$query_vars = $_POST;
}
reset($query_vars);
$t = date("U");
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "\ssfm\gdform_" . $t;
$fp = fopen($file,"w");
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars))
{
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\r\n");
fputs($fp,"$val\r\n");
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\r\n");
if ($key == "redirect")
{
$landing_page = $val;
}
}
fclose($fp);
if ($landing_page != "")
{
header("Location:http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/$landing_page");
}
else
{
header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/");
}
?>

What the above file (gdform.php) does is just create a file with your form contents in a directory "ssfm" in your server root directory. I believe they have cron job running to mail the contents of this file at regular intervals.
With the above setup, I think you'll not receive the contents of the form message immediately. It'll be mailed at regular intervals (5,15 or 30 mins), as specified by GoDaddy.
c_nordheim: The SMTP Authentication version also did not work.
What was the error you were getting with this?

Hi Vishal,
Thank you for your great work!
I don't get any error if I enter whatever symbols I wish for email, name, etc ... The "Email validation function" seems doesn't work. The only is that have no letter then, but the sender wont know this.

Please check if GD libraries are installed on your server. Most likely they are not installed.

I tried to run your contact form but it shows this error after i click on the submit button:
Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function.
Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem.
Thanx!

Your web host has probable disabled PHP Sendmail function. Talk with them for alternatives. If they allow SMTP authentication, then you can try using that version.
