Contact form help

[Host47]

I am building a site for someone and his current hosting is with fasthost on windows 2003 server, not knowing this at the time i built his site along with my usual contact form in html and the sender script in php, they send but it takes foprever to get them, is there an alternative, the contact form has a mixture of fields such as tewxt boxt, multi line text area, check boxes.

Thanks in advance guys.

Can you even run a php script on a windows 2003 server? Maybe that's why it is taking so long... however since you are hosting on a windows server it would make sense to write a contact form in asp.net or asp.

yes a php script can run on it, the whole site is valid xhtml so don't want to start with asp...plus i havebn't a clue on it. i've contacted the host to see if they have any ideas, i'm used to linux see...

I'd talk with the client and say hey this is the deal.. for your site updates your hosting provider doesn't provide all the tools needed. therefor lets goto "so n so" for hosting and I will be able to assist you on the task that is needed to be done..

Well thats what I have done. and it's worked for me <(_)

Strange, I use fasthosts and php works perfectly for me (and so does my php contact form) and I am on the windows 2003 server - ask him to check with fasthosts why php is so slow.
