I am sure this will end up being a silly question, but hear me out please.
I am a novice developer and i'm building a website with html, css (w/ Bootstrap) and since the website has to have a contact form page, i am using php there. Originally when I was developing the pages of the website including the front-end of the Contact page. all my pages were .html. Now, following a tutorial online, i have added the php to the contact.html to have the contact from content sent to an email of my choosing, i have changed the file name from contact.html to contact.php and i have placed ALL the website files into MAMP's htdocs folder in my C drive in order to test. However, since switching to contact.php, i cannot view the page! Instead i receive an http error 500. Note that all the .html files render as they should.
No doubt somewhere along the line i have made a rudimentary mistake, but any assistance in clearing this problem is very much appreciated.

Instead .+ you have to use .= in this line: $body .+ "From: ".$userName. "\r\n";
UPD: the main issue here is mail function.
Look at the docs: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
It requires 3 arguements:
string $to,
string $subject,
string $message
But in your code only 2 argements are passed: mail($to, $body);
typos:
You can look at highlighted code and see that $body .= "Email: ".userEmail. "\r\n"; looks different rather than it's neighbors.
userEmail lacks it's $ to be a variable :)
$message_sent = 'false'; => $message_sent = false;
$body .+ "From: ".$userName. "\r\n"; => $body .= "From: ".$userName. "\r\n";

I'm fairly new and was wondering if anyone could help. I've just uploaded all website files via filezilla to a web hosting company and the contact form isn't working. I've tried looking into this but I can seem to find out why. Are you able to have a look at my code and see if I'm perhaps missing something.
The Contact Form

How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP
(11 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am creating a project on the school management system using PHP and I am stuck as it's giving me an error: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent.
If the user forgot to fill any field and click on the submit button,the server should return a message like fill this field but instead it's giving this error and I don't know why.
this is the error I am getting
this is my form
This is my home page
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'header.php';
if(!isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
die("Access Denied");
}
if(isset($_POST['logout']))
{
header('Location: logout.php');
return;
}

This error is displayed when the "header" method is called more than once in an execution scope.
Let's see there, in your code there are several "if" conditions, without the "else if" treatment and somehow a "header" may be being executed more than once.
I would recommend doing the form treatments in a "Controller" or in another file, if you prefer. But as the top friend commented, you can test by replacing "return" with "exit".
Remember that "header" must be called before any real output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or by PHP.
In my project im getting such kind of error when im trying to redirect to another page when the person submit the contact form then it should redirect to some other page but im getting such kind of error. the error what im getting is this
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>
please can any one help me to solve my issue
There are lots of reason for the error: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent below are some of them:
print and echo statements will terminate the opportunity to send HTTP headers
<html> before any header() call.
Whitespace before <?php
Whitespace after ?>
Preceding error messages can also be a cause of this error.
If You want to check all reasons in detail then here is referenced stackoveflow answer
But for you the reason of this error is that, you have included Raw sections prior
to <?php code, you can not include html before php code.
In your code you are including header.php and <section> which is html, before php code therefor you are getting this error, so for solving it change your
contact.php file as below
<?php
include_once 'connect.php';
$nameErr = $emailErr = $contactErr = "";
$name = $email = $contact = $subject = "";
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
//Name
if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
$nameErr = "Please enter your Name";
}
else{
$name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
// check if name only contains letters and whitespace
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) {
$nameErr = "Sorry Only letters are allowed";
}
}
//E-mail ID
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
$emailErr = "Please enter your E-mail ID";
}
else{
$email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
// check if the entered Email-id is valid or not
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$emailErr = "Please enter a valid E-mail ID";
}
}
//Contact Number
if (empty($_POST["phone"])) {
$contactErr = "Please enter your Contact Number";
}
else{
$contact = test_input($_POST["phone"]);
// check weather the contact number is valid or not
if (!preg_match("/^[0-9]+$/",$contact)) {
$contactErr = "Please enter Your 10 Digit mobile Number";
}
}
//Reason For contacting
if (!empty($_POST["subject"])) {
$subject = test_input($_POST["subject"]);
}
if($nameErr == "" && $emailErr == "" && $contactErr == ""){
$sql = "INSERT INTO contact(`ID`,`Name`, `Email`, `Contact_no` , `Reason`)
VALUES ('','".$name."', '".$email."', '".$contact."' , '".$subject."')";
if (mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql)) {

exit();

And if problem remains the same after changing file as above then try to separate html file contact.php and make new php process file like contact_process.php and add php processing code only in contact_process.php.
Instead of
if (mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql)) {
header("location:contact_success.php");
exit();
}
You could do this:
if (mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql)) {
echo "<script>window.location.href = 'contact_success.php';</script>";
exit();
}
May not be conventional but it should work.

When I run the if, it should evaluate the data entered in the HTML through the ifs, and echo the html depending on the break, yet it echoes part of the php too. I have searched for solutions and I saw heredoc works, but in this case it didn't. Any clue?

The error is in this block of code for your heredoc.
<?php
$form_htmlString = "";
if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['subject']) || empty($_POST['message'])){
$form_htmlString = <<<EOD
<section id=\"intro\" class=\"intro\"><div class=\"gallery-intro\"><h2> <span class=\"text_color\"> <span>fadfasfads</span> </h2><h4></h4></div><div class=\"page-scroll\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-double-down animated\"></i></div></section><div class=\"container\"> <div class=\"row\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 text-center padding-20\"><div class=\"wow bounceInUp\" data-wow-delay=\"0.2s\"> <div class=\"team boxed-grey\"> <div class=\"inner\"><h5 alt=\"Internal-link List\"> Check the information you typed in. </h5> <p class=\"subtitle\"> There is one or more mistakes. </p></div></div></div></div></div></div>

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It contains spaces. There should not be any.
There should not be anything before or after your closing identifier.
Modify it to be as: (no spaces before or after EOD;)
<?php
$form_htmlString = "";
if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['subject']) || empty($_POST['message'])){
$form_htmlString = <<<EOD

https://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc
From the manual:
It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier must contain no other characters, except a semicolon (;). That means especially that the identifier may not be indented, and there may not be any spaces or tabs before or after the semicolon. It's also important to realize that the first character before the closing identifier must be a newline as defined by the local operating system. This is \n on UNIX systems, including Mac OS X. The closing delimiter must also be followed by a newline.
I just started learning php and my first project was to make a working contact form. I have typed up what I could, but for some reason there appears to be some sort of errors that php is not telling me. I have looked for solutions to the issue on another web forum like phpacademy, and to no avail. I finally came to try out stack overflow, since I have heard great things about this forum. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.

#B-and-P is right, if all your error checking validates, then your error variable is undefined by the time you reach your
if($error)
statement. To fix this, simply declare your error variable at the top to be null like
$error = NULL;
that way when you check for it, it is defined and if there is no errors, your script will send your mail.
There is no action attribute in your form tag. Example:
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">
cut the PHP script from your code and put it in a separate file. Save as send_form_email.php
