i have created this php form for enquiry purpose but when i clicked on the submit button it's not working. can you tell me what have i done wrong in this code.
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type ="text" name="subject" placeholder="subject">
<input type ="email" name="email" placeholder="email">
<textarea rows="5" name="message" cols="30"></textarea>
<input class="btn" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "rizwandesigns19#gmail.com";
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = $_POST['email'];
$headers = "From : $from";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
echo "Mail Sent";
?>
or can you give me valid php script for this purpose.
To get through google's and other's spam filters you need an address which the mail is sent from. For this you could create a new Gmail-address and use the phpmailer-library.
Edit: Setup with gmail is actually pretty complicated and it will disable your access once in a while which renders it almost unuseable. I started to do it by installing a real mail server on the host machine (Install a Complete Mail Server with Postfix and Webmail in Debian 9) and use the php mail() function (phpmailer can still be used tho).

I'm looking to send data from an HTML form to an email address using PHP. I have the following code in index.html:
<form class="container" name="rsvp" method="POST" action="form-to-email.php">
<input type="text" class="name" name="name" placeholder="Your Name" />
<input type="email" class="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email" />
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Send"/>
In the same directory I have form-to-email.php:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "myemail#gmail.com";
$subject = "RSVP";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n";
echo "<h1>Your form has been submitted</h1>";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "<h1>Error</h1>";
}
?>
When I click the submit button, I get a 'Page not working' error.
I am extremely new to PHP so I can't understand what is going wrong. I'm using Live Server with VS code and the website is currently being hosted on port 5500.
Should I have another server running in order for PHP to work? I believe I have PHP installed on my machine (Mac), but I don't know if I need to start up XAMMP or something similar even for a simple form like this to work? And if this is the case, how would the form then function on a live server? I usually use Netlify to host my projects.

I'm trying to get this PHP form to work, every time I submit the form the browser returns the else statement but doesn't execute the above if statement, what have I missed?
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = '***.*****#gmail.com';
$subject='Form submission';
$message="Name: ".$name."\n". "Wrote the following: "."\n\n".$message;
$headers="From: ".$mail;
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "<h1>Sent Successfully! Thank you"." ".$name.", I will contact you shortly.</h1>";
}
else {
echo "Something went wrong! Contact me at alec.dannmayr#gmail.com";
}
}
?>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name">
<input type="text" name="mail " placeholder="Email">
<input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject">
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit"></input>
</form>
There is something wrong with your mail() function.
Try looking in your maillog if anything is triggered at all. Usually located under /var/log/mail.log or /var/log/mail.err depending on your configuration. Have you tried sending the mail without the header (just to minimise possible errors).
It can be a pain to configure the mail() function to work properly. See this article, it might give you a hint. Is there a reason you want to use the mail() function a more advanced technique? You could use f.e. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer which supports a better error/debugging management.
I'm trying to make a very basic contact form using HTML and PHP. For some reason, however, when I click the "submit" button I get the error "405 Not Allowed". Why? How could I fix this? (I'm hosting my website on GitHub)
my HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="send_form_email.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name">
<input type="text" name="mail" placeholder="Your e-mail">
<input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject">
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Send e-mail</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
my PHP:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$mailTo = "example#gmail.com";
$headers = "From: ".$mailFrom;
$txt = "You have received an e-mail from ".$name.".\n\n".$message;
mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
header("Location: index.php?mailsend");
}
(PS. I wrote "example#gmail.com" just because I wanted to keep my personal e-mail private on here.
PPS. I have been trying to make a very simple contact form (you write your name mail and message and the owner of the website receives it in the inbox) but none of my (desperate) attempts seems to work. Can anyone help me out?)
Github is a hosting service for static web pages. PHP is not static. Deploying PHP to GitHub Pages - is it possible?
im using this contact form below. When I was running it on my local machine it was working. But on my server if the form fails it does the right thing and goes to fail.php but when all the fields are filled it goes to send_contact2.php after clicking send instead of success.php
This is the send_contact2.php
if (empty($_POST['name'])
|| empty($_POST['number'])
|| empty($_POST['email'])
|| empty($_POST['messagearea'])
){
header('Location: fail.php');
}
else {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$messagearea = $_POST['messagearea'];
$to = 'example#gmail.com';
$subject = "Website Message: Contact form";
$message = '$messagearea';
$headers = "From: WebsiteMessage";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header("Location: success.php");
}
?>
This is my form
<form name="form1" method="post" action="send_contact2.php">
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your Name"/> <br/>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Your Email"/> <br/>
<input name="number" type="tel" placeholder="Your Number"/> <br />
<textarea name="messagearea" cols="" rows="" id="messagearea" placeholder="Your Message"/></textarea> <br/>
<input name="sumbit" type="submit" value="SEND" id="button2" />
</form>
I have this setting in my cPanel
Any help would be greatly appreciated
if the page stay on send_contact2.php it is because, header("Location: success.php") do not redirect. read this post, it could help. Php header location redirect not working
In my opinion PHP must be outputing some text (char, error or warning?) or you have used a char before <?php in your send_contact2.php file. That's why header is not working. Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent.
OP here, managed to sort it in the end
Was a mail server issue, so if anyone in the future gets this problem check your php settings on your hosting and make sure it allows mail() and make sure you set up an email address where you're sending the email to on your server.
thanks to everyone that helped me debug
So I want my contact form to work on my site so I wrote some php to make it work. Here is the code: (form_process.php)
<?php
$name = $_POST('name');
$company = $_POST('company');
$email = $_POST('email');
$message = $_POST('message');
$to ="arp2222#yahoo.com";
$subject="New Message from Kincentive";
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: ".$name);
echo "Your Message has been sent";
?>
I want to know how I can make this php work with my html file. I put the php file in the root folder with the index.html file and I believe I need to set up a form tag. I believe I need to use the action or method attribute? to setup as
for example.
I am using MAMP PRO as a local host since my site is not live yet and I want to test the contact form and recieve the test to my email.
Any help please i am new to php
in sendEmail.html you should write code as given
<form name="frmEmail" id="frmEmail" action="sendEmail.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="fName" id="fName">
<input type="text" name="email" id="email">
<input type="text" name="company" id="company">
<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
this form redirect to sendEmail.php
<?php
$name=$_POST['fName'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$to =$_POST['email'];
$subject="New Message from Kincentive";
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: ".$name);
echo "Your Message has been sent";
?>
$_POST is an array, so you should reference it like this, using [ brackets instead of curly ones.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
In your HTML, wrap your inputs in a form like this, pointing to your Php file:
<form action="form_process.php" method="POST">
<-- input elements here !-->
</form>
