PHP Send Email From HTML Form - php

I want to get an email from an html form. I was following a tutorial that used PHP, which I have never used before, and it doesn't seem to work. After I hit submit, the php page opens, but an email is not sent to me. Can someone please help me.
HTML(A couple inputs like name and email, etc. and a submit button at the bottom):
<form action="contact_form_process.php" method="POST">
<section id="contact" class="py-3">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-9 mx-auto">
<div class="card p-4">
<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="text-center lato-font">Please Fill Out This Form To Contact Us</h3>
<hr>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input id="first_name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="First Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input id="last_name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Last Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input id="email" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<input id="phone_num" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Phone Number">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control" name="" id="message" rows="10" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-footer">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-block" value="Send">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-success btn-block">Send</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
</form>
Here is my PHP:
<?php
// Subject and Email Variables
$emailSubject = 'Test Email';
$webMaster = 'tamiroffen#gmail.com';
// Gathering Data Variables
$first_nameField = $_POST['first_name'];
$last_nameField = $_POST['last_name'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$phone_numField = $_POST['phone_num'];
$messageField = $_POST['message'];
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Name: $first_nameField <br>
Phone Number: $phone_numField <br>
Message: $message <br>
EOD;
$headers = "From: $emailField\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
?>
Thank you!

mail() needs to be enabled as #esqew points out in his comment - this would look something like this (this is on my BigRock environment YMMV) -
ini_set("include_path", '<path to php>' . ini_get("include_path") );
require_once "Mail.php";
Also, if you are using GMail, you also need to set up GMail to allow sending mail through SMTP - https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?visit_id=636741342414654323-2069917091&hl=en&rd=1

$webMaster = 'tamiroffen#gmail.com';
I assume this is the address where the emails are sent to. From what I've heard, PHP mail() function doesn't work for gmail(if it's on the receiver end).
You can just use another email provider like hotmail or any and forward emails from it to your gmail

ticket email not sending

Hi everyone i am struggling to fix my problem. I am trying to create a ticket system which a user can send a ticket and ask for help. The problem is that email is not working - it will not send any message after the user submit. I copied this codes on the internet and make some few changes of it
here's the code
new_ticket.php
<form action = "action_ticket.php" method="POST">
<div class="container mt-4">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">Submit a ticket about your concern <span class="text-danger">Note: Please keep your ticket ID for security purposes</span></div>
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Your E-Mail Address <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
<input type="email" required name="email" id="email" autocomplete = "off" placeholder="Your Email Address" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-md-6">
<div class="form-floating mb-3">
<select id="department" name="department" class="form-select">
<option value="" selected="selected" disabled="disabled">where you want so send this ticket</option>
</select>
<label for="floatingSelect">Select<span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Subject <span class="text-danger">*</span></label>
<input type="text" required name="subject" id="subject" autocomplete = "off" placeholder="Subject means your concern" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12">
<div class="form-group">
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" id="message" cols="30" rows="5" placeholder="Explain your concern here"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-md-12">
<div class="text-right">
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="form">
<button class="btn btn-outline-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
Back
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
and this is my other file
action_ticket.php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$email=$_POST['email'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$unid=random_bytes(10);
$unid=bin2hex($unid);
$db=new DB();
$sql="INSERT INTO hdms_tickets (ticket_id,status,email,subject,message)
VALUES ('$unid','0','$email','$subject','$message')" or die("<script>alert('Error');</script>");
$inset=$db->conn->query($sql);
if($inset){
$success='Your ticket has been created. Your ticket id is '.$unid ;
$to = $email;
$subject = "helpdesk support Ticket";
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$txt = "Dear your tickets has been sent to our help desk support team and we will back to you shortly. and here your ticket id $unid please keep your ticket id";
$headers = "From: helpdesk#gmail.com" . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
}else{
$error = "Ticket did not send!";
}
echo '<script>showAlert();window.setTimeout(function () {HideAlert();},3000);</script>'; echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=view_ticket.php'>"; }
the tickets submits to the backend and received by the staff but the problem is that the email is not automatically send to the user once the user submit the ticket i actually upload this to online sever this is for my final project Thank you in advance have a great day!

Why isn't my PHP form working? I do receive the email but there is no content in it

PHP form on my website isn't responding well. It would be appreciated if someone could help me.
This is the HTML Code of the form
<form action="contactform.php" method="post" name="form" class="p-5 bg-white">
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-6 mb-3 mb-md-0">
<label class="text-black" for="fname">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fname" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<label class="text-black" for="lname">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" id="lname" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label class="text-black" for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" id="email" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label class="text-black" for="subject">Subject</label>
<input type="subject" id="subject" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<label class="text-black" for="mssg">Message</label>
<textarea name="mssg" id="mssg" cols="30" rows="7" class="form-control" placeholder="Write your notes or questions here..."></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="submit" value="Send Message" class="btn btn-primary py-2 px-4 text-white">
</div>
</div>
</form>
This is the PHP Code
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$to = "alyyashar#gmail.com";
$subject = "New email from your site!";
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$title = '<h3>Hello! You have received a new mail from your website!</h3>';
$body = "$title
<br/>
<b>From:</b> $fname
<br/>
<b>E-Mail:</b> $email
<br/>
<b>Message:</b>\n$message
<br/>
<br/>";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)){
echo "<h1>Sent Successfully! Thank you"." ".$fname.", We will contact you shortly!</h1>";
} else {
echo "Something went wrong!";
}
}
?>
<br>
Back to Homepage
This is the email I receive
Screenshot of the email
When I enter information into the form and click send message, I do receive the email but there is no content in it.
The form elements have no name attributes, which is what the browser uses to send their name/value pairs to the server. So while it's posting the form, none of the values are being included.
For example, this:
<input type="text" id="fname" class="form-control">
Should be this:
<input type="text" id="fname" class="form-control" name="fname">
The same fix would need to be repeated for the remaining form elements.

Unable to send an email after clicking on submit button in php

Trying to send an email not displaying any error message or anything just refreshing the page that it.
I am trying an email through contact form but its not working.Here is the code for that. tried by doing echo but it is not working .not displaying any error as well.
contact and contactus:
<?php ob_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "abc#gmail.com";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$txt = $_POST['comment'];
$headers = "From: " .$email . "\r\n" .
"CC: xyz#gmail.com";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
header("Location: contact.php");
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

</div>
</form>
</section>
</article>
</div>
<div style="width:50px;height:50px;"></div>
</body>
use this
if(isset($_POST['submit_contact']))
If you are doing it from your local server, you will have to setup your mail properly in ini then only you will be able to send mail from your local machine.
A better approach would be to wrap the mail function in a statement. Mail is returning a bool value. And beginn as simple as possible.
error_reporting (E_ALL);
$to = "mail#whatever.com"
// ... your settings ...
if ( mail ( $to , $subject , $message ) ) {
// do when ok
}
else {
// do when error
}
To verify that you receive all values from $_POST do
echo '<pre>';
print_r ($_POST);
echo '</pre>';

</div>
I need the JavaScript here:
<script>
</script>
And the PHP form is here:
<?php
$to = "bcw1995#gmail.com";
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
$from = $_REQUEST['email'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
mail($_REQUEST['email'], $subject,
$message, "From:" . $email);
}
header("Location: http://www.thorbis.com/#contact");
?>
Can someone please fix this you will be a life saver!
You get two E-Mails:
Your mail is send twice, because you are calling two times the mail() function. Delete this line mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
// EDIT
change the second E-Mail function to this: mail($to, $subject, $message, "From:" . $email);
Else the sender will get the email that he has send.
Validation:
There are a lot of ways and librarys for a Javascript Form-Validation. I recommand jQuery + jQuery.Validation Plugin (http://jqueryvalidation.org/).
But i would also add a validation in the PHP file, because if somebody has disabled javascript, he can send empty emails.
I hope that i could help you.
