Can't get radio buttons to work in PHPmailer - php

First off, I'm not a programming expert by any means. I had a company set PHPmailer for me and they created a simple form and the php code that makes it work. They didn't include radio buttons in the example and I haven't been able to figure out how to make them work.
I believe it's something simple but still over my head.

CS student working on first website, having issues with phpmailer on hostinger

I've finally built my first website and gotten the hosting figured out. As stated in the title I'm using hostinger and phpmailer, I have never used PHP so I went through their short tutorial and got the PHP file set up how I feel is the correct way.
The issue I'm having is that when I submit the form, I get an error page. Nothing in the network tab on chrome suggests that it is trying to send any data, although it does show it opening the PHP file, I think, again this is my first website and first time using PHP.
PHP:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.hostinger.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'hostinger-email#domain.com';
$mail->Password = 'password for hostinger email';
$mail->setFrom('same-as-username??', 'Admin');
$mail->addAddress('destination#gmail.com', 'Savannah');
if ($mail->addReplyTo($_POST['email'], $_POST['name'])) {
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer contact form';
$mail->isHTML(false);
$mail->Body = <<<EOT
Email: {$_POST['email']}
Name: {$_POST['name']}
Message: {$_POST['message']}
EOT;
if (!$mail->send()) {
$msg = 'Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later.';
} else {
$msg = 'Message sent! Thanks for contacting us.';
}
} else {
$msg = 'Share it with us!';
}
?>
HTML FORM:
<header class="form_header">Contact Me</header>
<form id="form" class="topBefore" action="/domains/piecesofblonde.com/public_html/formscript.php" method="post">
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="NAME">

What is the best method to use form data and sent it to gmail

I have a question about some PHP form handling. What I want is to take the data in the form below, and sent the data to my Gmail account. I do not own a mail server. I already discovered that you can not do it with the PHP mail function. I'm trying the PHPmailer out at this moment but it does not seem to have the right results, because it seems that PHPmailer only can be used to fill in a form and sent it to a person with your Gmail address.I want something different i want to let a user mail me to my Gmail address using the form inputs. So what shall I do? setting up a mail server with hmailserver and SquirrelMail or is there a better method.
<form id="form" action="PHPmail2.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="firstname"class="first" placeholder="first name"><font color="red">*</font>
<input type="text" name="lastname" class="first" placeholder="lastname"><font color="red">*</font>
<input type="email" name="email" class="first" placeholder="E-mail"><font color="red">*</font>
<br>
<input type="text" name="subject" class=" subject first" placeholder="subject">
<textarea type="text" class="textarea mail first" name="textarea" placeholder="fill somting in"></textarea>
<button type ="submit" id="submitbutton"name="submit">Send</button>
</form>
The PHP code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (!empty($firstname)) {
header('Location:index.php');
}else{
header('Location: filleErrorHandeling/nietAlleVeldenIngevuld.php');
}
if (!empty($lastname)) {
header('Location:index.php');
}else{
header('Location: filleErrorHandeling/nietAlleVeldenIngevuld.php');
}
if (!empty($from)) {
header('Location:index.php');
}else{
header('Location: filleErrorHandeling/nietAlleVeldenIngevuld.php');
}
}
adding some PHPmailer code all i have to do is link the form action to the file name.
<?php
$to="*";
$from=$_POST['email'];
$firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
$lastname=$_POST['lastname'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$msg=$_POST['textarea'];
$subject= "form submission";
$subject2="Copy of your form submission";
$message= $firstname. " ".$lastname. " Wrote the following: "."\n\n".$msg;
$message2= "Here is a copy of your message ". $firstname ."\n\n". $msg;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require ("composer/vendor/autoload.php");
$mail= new PHPMailer(true);
try{
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Port =25;
$mail->Username =$to;
$mail->Password = '*';
$mail->setFrom($email);
$mail->addAddress($email);
$mail->Subject='*';
$mail->Body=$msg;
$mail->send();
}
catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->errorMessage();
}
catch(\Exception $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>
What i basically want is when a user pressed on submit I want an email to my Gmail account with all the input data, or better even a part of it.
Thank you for reading my post if there are any questions regarding this topic let me know.

PHPMailer sending e-mail without form data

I'm trying to send a e-mail with a contact form but it`s not showing the data.
I've tried some answers here but can't get it to work.
My code:
<form class="form form-container method="post" action="assets/send_form_email.php">
<div class="left">
<input name="f_name" type="text" id="f_name" placeholder="Nome*" required />
<input name="f_email" type="email" id="f_email" placeholder="Email*" required />
<input name="f_phone" type="text" id="f_phone" required="required" maxlength="15" placeholder="Telefone*" />
<textarea name="f_msg" id="f_msg" placeholder="Mensagem" rows="6"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="right">
<input name="f_cnpj" type="text" id="f_cnpj" placeholder="CNPJ" style="font-weight: 700;" required />
<input name="f_sector" type="text" id="f_sector" placeholder="Setor da empresa" style="font-weight: 700;" required />
<input name="f_faturamento" type="text" id="f_faturamento" placeholder="Faturamento médio" style="font-weight: 700;" required />
<input name="f_valorMedio" type="text" id="f_valorMedio" placeholder="Valor médio de duplicatas" style="font-weight: 700;" required />
<button type="submit" class="botaoContato">Enviar</button>
</div>
</form>
Here is the PHP:
<?php
$nome = $_POST['f_name'];
$email = $_POST['f_email'];
$telefone = $_POST['f_phone'];
$cnpj = $_POST['f_cnpj'];
$setor = $_POST["f_sector"];
$faturamento = $_POST['f_faturamento'];
$valorMedio = $_POST['f_valorMedio'];
$msg = $_POST["f_msg"];
$mensagem = "Nome: '.$nome.' <br>
Email: '$email.' <br>
Telefone: '.$telefone.' <br><br>
CNPJ: '.$cnpj.' <br>
Setor: '.$setor.' <br>
Faturamento: '.$faturamento.' <br>
Valor Medio: '.$valorMedio.' <br>
Mensagem: '.$msg.' <br>";
require_once("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.****.com.br";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'contato#****.com.br';
$mail->Password = '********';
$mail->From = "contato#*****.com.br";
$mail->Sender = "contato#****.com.br";
$mail->FromName = "****";
$mail->AddAddress('contato#*****.com.br');
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Subject = "Contato Site ";
$mail->Body = $mensagem;
$mail->AltBody = $mensagem;
$enviado = $mail->Send();
$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
$mail->ClearAttachments();
if ($enviado) {
echo "E-mail enviado com sucesso!";
} else {
echo "Não foi possível enviar o e-mail.
";
echo "Informações do erro:
" . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
I've tried removing the variables and adding it directly to the $mail->Body but it does not work. I don't know much PHP so I'm relying on posts here or some tutorials but I can't find the error. :(
The most important thing when you ask a question like this is to describe exactly how it's not working - we can't guess.
First of all, you're using a very old version of PHPMailer, so get the latest, and base your code on the contact form example provided with PHPMailer.
You're sending only plain text content, so do this:
$mail->isHTML(false);
$mail->Body = $mensagem;
You don't need to set AltBody when you're doing this.
If your message is arriving, but doesn't contain what you expect, do this just before calling send() to confirm what parameters the script received, and what you asked it to send:
var_dump($_POST, $mail->Body);
You have SMTPDebug = 2, so you should be seeing debug output. If you get a false return value from send(), any error should be in $mail->ErrorInfo - you'll see how that can be used in the example code I linked to.
If you're seeing no SMTP debug output, it means it's having trouble connecting at all, in which case you should read the troubleshooting guide which tells you how to diagnose connection problems. The usual reasons are that your hosting provider may block outbound SMTP, or that you have outdated CA certificates.

Contact form rejected by server

I am pretty new at this so I apologize up front. Sorry for asking this question for the millionth time but I can't get my contact form to mail. I receive server error 500. I tried to find out what that meant without success. I have looked though all of the other posts here without success. Thanks for helping.
Here's my html:
Contact Form -->
<form id="contact-form" action="sendEmail.php" method="post">
<p>
<span>
<input placeholder="Name" type="text" name="name" required>
</span>
</p>
<p>
<span>
<input placeholder="Email" type="email" name="email" required>
</span>
</p>
<p>
<span>
<textarea placeholder="Message" name="message" cols="40" rows="10"></textarea>
</span>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Send Message">
</p>
</form>
Here's the php:
<?php
// Form Variables
$sender_name = trim($_POST['name']);
$sender_email = $_POST['email'];
$sender_message = $_POST['message'];
// Configuration Vaiables
$receiving_email = 'name#email.com'; // Replace this with your own email address
$receiver_name = 'name'; // replace with your name
$email_subject = 'Email Sent from Contact Form'; // replace with any default title
// Require swiftMailer Library
require_once('lib/classes/swiftMailer/swift_required.php');
// Create the transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.rickstrode.com') // enter SMTP address
->setPort(587) // enter SMTP port
->setEncryption('ssl') // enter encryption mode
->setUsername('name#email.com') // enter SMTP username
->setPassword('abcd1234') // enter SMTP password
;
// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
// Create a Message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($email_subject)
->setFrom(array($sender_email => $sender_name))
->setTo(array($receiving_email, $receiving_email => $receiver_name))
->setBody($sender_message)
;
// Send the Message
$result = $mailer->send($message);
// Success and Failure Message
if ($result) {
echo "Congratulations, We've received your email. We'll be in touch as soon as we possibly can!";
} else {
echo "Unfortunately, Something went wrong while sending the message, Please try again!";
}
?>
Your SMTP server name is incorrect
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.rickstrode.com')
should be
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('mail.rickstrode.com')

PHP Mail Sending Blank Message On Page-Load

I am having an issue with PHP Mailer. It is sending a blank email every time the page is loaded.
I'm sure it's something simple (maybe missing a condition if submit button is hit) to fix this.
Their documentation doesn't seem to have one though and the script first worked when I first used it but then started sending emails on page load after the first few times. Thanks!

You don't check to see if a form submission occurred. You just call your email code when the page loads. There are several ways to decide if a form submission occurred. One way is to check to see if the form action is POST:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
// email code goes here
}
You can also check to see if the submit button was pressed:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// email code goes here
}
Other things to know:
You don't do any data validation so it is still possible for someone to submit nothing resulting in a blank email being sent
You don't protect against header injections which makes your form vulnerable to sending spam
This happen cause you didn't apply any condition for this to run so code runs line by line on page load .
so keep your mail sending code in submit check condition so it will run after submit click
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// your mail sending code
}
or using any of your post data like for email check
if(!empty($_POST['email'])) {
// your mail sending code
}
