My contact form in php doesnt send the message to the mail so i need to know whats the problem here
You will find the html form here with file name : index.php
and php form with name : mail.php
<form class="form" action="mail.php" method="post" name="contactform">
<input class="name" type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name">
<input class="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" name="email" >
<input class="phone" type="text" placeholder="Phone No:" name="phone">
<textarea class="message" id="message" cols="30" rows="10" placeholder="Message"name="message" ></textarea>
<input class="submit-btn" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: phone';
$to = 'modysaid26#gmail.com';
$subject = 'message';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Phone Number: $phone\n Message:\n $message";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been submitted</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, please try again!</p>';
}
}
}
?>
<input class="submit-btn" name='submit' type="submit" value="Submit">
You are missing to add the name to submit button so your case if (isset($_POST['submit']) ) { fails
you dont need to put name on the form tag remove the class either:
<form action="mail.php" method="post">
First yor submit button name is missing, please use a
<input class="submit-btn" type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
The second you email command ( mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from) ) has no right email header. Insead your $from
please define header with following parameters
$email_headers = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_email.">\r\n".
"Reply-To: ".$reply_to."\r\n" ;
if ($cc) $email_headers.="Cc: ".$cc."\r\n";
if ($bcc) $email_headers.="Bcc: ".$bcc."\r\n";
$email_headers.="MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n" .
"Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$email_body=$_POST['message'];
and then send it using
mail($to, $subject, $email_body, $email_headers);
And then your email shouldbe send properly.

I have searched and searched for the answer and cannot find the answer to my particular problem. I am simply trying to send an email when a user fills out a contact page and clicks submit.
Below here is the code for the form.
<form method="post" action="contactRob.php">
<label for="name">First Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
<label for="lastName">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName" />
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
<label for="message">Message:</label><br />
<textarea name="message" rows="20" cols="20" id="message"></textarea>
<label>*What is 2+2? (Anti-spam)</label>
<input name="human" placeholder="Type Here">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" />
</form>
And below here is the PHP I am using.
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = $_POST['lastName'];
$to = 'juliansilvestri92#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Hello';
$human = $_POST['human'];
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
if ($_POST['submit'] && $human == '4') {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>';
}
} else if ($_POST['submit'] && $human != '4') {
echo '<p>You answered the anti-spam question incorrectly!</p>';
}
?>
What am I missing?
Currently this website is live on a hosted server domain.
When I click the submit button I am getting 'something went wrong' error throw that I placed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your names are first capital while results arent.
$message = $_POST['email'];
<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" />
make both lowercase. Then echoing $body could help, see if the data is the same as you inputed, comment out the mailer part, see if the error comes from mail or from post DOM itself. If its mailer problem that's causing you the error, read about mailer a bit more, if that doesn't help.
and your from is incorrect.
$to = "somebody#example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse#example.com";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
Your from should look like this:
$from = "From: ".$_POST['email']."\r\n CC: ".$_POST['lastName'];
or something like that.
There is all ready similar topic about it, and there is a honest huge comment, you wont miss it.
PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
Do what that comment is telling you to do, and you will most likely solve or understand the problem.
Good luck..
Most of the server not allow you to send email using just php mail function use php mailer function to send mail from any where local development server/ live web server.
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
also for default mail send you can use these params
$to = "somebody#example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster#example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse#example.com";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);

I have a PHP mail script set up and keep hitting the error "Something went wrong, go back and try again!" all the form fields have been checked and all the names match etc so I am wondering if there is something wrong with my script?
<form method="post" action="contact.php" id="contactForm">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="name" />
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="email" />
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" class="phone" />
<label for="iam">I Am</label>
<select name="iam" class="iam" id="iam">
<option>a recruiter looking to recruit staff</option>
<option>a construction worker looking for work</option>
<option>requesting information</option>
</select>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" class="message"></textarea>
<label for="captcha">What is 3+4?</label>
<input type="text" id="captcha" name="captcha" class="captcha" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="submit" />
</form>
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$iam = $_POST['iam'];
$human = $_POST['captcha'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: Test';
$to = 'sales#test.com';
$headers = "From: $email";
$subject = 'Tradeline Contact';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Phone Number:\n $phone I Am:\n $iam Message:\n $message";
if ($_POST['submit'] && $human == '7') {
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f " . $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
header( 'Location: http://urlhere.com/thankyou.html' ) ;
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>';
}
} else if ($_POST['submit'] && $human != '7') {
echo '<p>You answered the anti-spam question incorrectly!</p>';
}
?>
Any help is appreciated.
You might want to change:
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-f " . $from)
to:
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers."\r\n")
That way your mail headers will be in compliance.
Also, turn on error reporting. I happen to use error_reporting(7); right under the <?php line to turn on all common errors with the exception of catching undefined variables, and that will tell me if the mail function has problems.
Another thing you can do is check the mail server logs to see if mail is actually being sent.
I'm sure you already did this, but in case you haven't, make sure you use valid email addresses.
I created a simple contact form as follows.
<form method="post" action="mail_receive.php">
<label>Name *</label>
<input name="name" placeholder="Type Here">
<label>Email *</label>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Type Here">
<label>Phone No *</label>
<input name="phone" placeholder="Type Here">
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="">
And php file called mail_receive.php
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$from = 'From: Someone';
$to = 'admin#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Ticket Ordering';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Phone:\n $phone";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ($name != '' && $email != '' && $phone != '') {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>';
}
} else {
echo '<p>Please fill all required fields !!</p>';
}
}?>
}
And i uploaded to my hosting.
Although I can fill up the form and submit, I can't receive email to my inbox.
Is there any wrong?
With mail, it's meant to be
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Try something like this:
$to = "youremailaddress#whatever.com";
$subject = "Your tickets yo";
$headers = "From: someone#someone.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: someone#someone.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME=VERSION:1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n;"
$message = "Nice tickets bro.";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
And please I hope it's just for example purposes, but please don't actually be sending it to admin#gmail.com because obviously (unless you ARE actually admin#gmail.com, you wont recieve the e-mail.
It's my first time trying to make a contactform. And I've got a few problems
It's works, I get the email, but I don't get the name the name field with me in the email.
HTML:
<form method="post" name="contactform" action="scripts/contact.php">
<h3>Name</h3>
<input type="text" name="name">
<h3>Email Address</h3>
<input type="text" name="email">
<h3>Message</h3>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<br/><input class="submit" type="submit" value="Send Form">
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$to = "name#domane.com";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $name, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "One of the field are not filled as requirred"; }
?>
$name is my problem. I've I have it in, the email comes from hostmaster#domane.com, If I delete it, everything works fine. But I wan't the name to be sent to me. How?
Or should I do it completely different?
Also, if you leave all the fields blank, the "user" doesn't get any error message, and a blank email is sent to me.
Hope you can help me. :)
Michael Berkowski is correct. What you'll need to do is add the name to your message's body (not in the sense of the input name= attribute, rather the body of the email).
Something like this:
<?php
$to = "name#domane.com";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$body = "Name: $name\r\n";
$body .= "Message: $message";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "One of the field are not filled as requirred"; }
?>
Revised:
HTML:
<form method="post" name="contactform" action="scripts/contact.php">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<br/><input class="submit" type="submit" value="Send Form" />
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$body = "Name: $name\r\n";
$body .= "Message: $message";
$to = "name#domane.com";
$from = "automailer#mydomainname.com (Website Automailer)";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$headers = "From: $from\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $email ($name)";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers) ;
if($sent) { echo "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else { echo "One of the field are not filled as requirred"; }
?>
You should read the mail function documentation on php.net.
Have a look at the function signature:
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
Now you're placing $name as the "$additional_headers" argument. You should pass $name and any extra relevant data in a $message argument instead.
Having that said, here's the correct code to send a message:
$sent = mail($to, $subject, "A message from $name: $message", $headers);
You should read more about how email messages are constructed. Instead of just putting a user defined message in there you probably want to specify some email headers, containing a more beautiful FROM: and the like...
I have a contact form on a page that sends the details of the form to an email address. You can view it here, www.wonder.ie
The HTML for the form is the following:
<form id="form" name="form27" class="wufoo page" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="mailer.php">
<ul>
<li id="foli1">
<label class="op" id="title1" for="Field1">Name</label>
<div><input id="Field1" name="name" type="text" class="op required" value="" maxlength="255" tabindex="1" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);" /></div>
</li>
<li id="foli2">
<label class="op" id="title2" for="Field2">Email</label>
<div><input id="Field2" name="email" type="text" class="op required email" value="" maxlength="255" tabindex="2" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);" /></div>
</li>
<li id="foli3">
<label class="op" id="title3" for="Field3">Inquiry</label>
<div><textarea id="Field3" name="message" class="op required" rows="10" cols="50" tabindex="3" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);"></textarea></div>
</li>
</ul>
<input id="button" name="saveForm" class="btTxt submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
And for my PHP it is this:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "AN_EMAIL#ADDRESS.COM";
$subject = "Email from Wonder.ie";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "blarg!";
}
?>
Does everything look correct? I know I have the form names matched correctly with the PHP but I can't figure out why I'm not receiving the email you know - FYI the PHP on the site has a real email address, not AN_EMAIL#ADDRESS.COM. Once I hit the submit button I am taken to mailer.php but I notice the echo "blarg!" so my guess is the email is not being sent.
Thank you!
You should change
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
to
if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) {
Try changing
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
to
if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) {
This is because $_POST looks for the name of a form input, not the type.
If nothing above helps, try and see if you can debug the code.
Catching PHP mail() errors and showing reasonable user error message
In your PHP code you check if $_POST['submit'] is set, but in your HTML code you gave the submit button the name of saveForm so you should change the line
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
to
if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) {
Hope this helped you :)
Some email servers won't accept emails without appropriate headers and you haven't provided any. This is what I use.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
$header = "From: ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "Cc: ".$ccText."\n";
$header .= "Reply-To : ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "Return-Path : ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
mail($toText, $subjectText, $msgText, $header, '-f'.$fromText);
you are using
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { but, you have save the submit button name assaveForm So, use if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) {
your problem is it's pour out blarg.
it's definitely the post does not reach your
code->
mail($to, $subject, $body);
and the name of the submit should be changed to
'saveForm'
by the way :)..
just tried
mail($to, $subject, $body);
in your x.php , upload it and chage to , subject and body to right things
and if it's sent then the mail function works okay.
if(#mail($emailRecipient, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
echo "Mail Sent Successfully";
}else{
echo "Mail Not Sent";
}
this is also a good code I have found in stackoverflow
to check if mail function works.
In your html your have
<input id="button" name="saveForm" class="btTxt submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
but in the php file when you check for $_POST["submit"], which is not right.
You need to change if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to if(isset($_POST['saveForm']))
or if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to if(isset($_POST))
