So I have this HTML code for my contact form:
<section id="contact-form">
<form action="form.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="block">
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Ime" name="name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Adresa" name="email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="subject" placeholder="Predmet">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="block">
<form>
<div class="form-group-2">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="3" placeholder="Poruka" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Pošalji</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</section>
And my PHP script looks like this:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: Kontakt s web-stranice';
$to = 'myEmailAddress';
$subject = 'Kontakt s web-stranice ';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
?>
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Thank you for your email!</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Oops! An error occurred. Try sending your message again.</p>';
}
}
?>
And for some reason when I click on the submit button the web page refreshes and the message isn't sent to my email.
Does anyone know why?

Your HTML format is using forms within forms, so everything outside that <form> tag is not being collected. All you need to do is have the first <form> tag and wrap all your input boxes and the submit button in it.
Notice in the code below how you only need one <form>.
<section id="contact-form">
<form action="form.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="block">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Ime" name="name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Adresa" name="email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="subject" placeholder="Predmet">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12">
<div class="block">
<div class="form-group-2">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="3" placeholder="Poruka" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Pošalji</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</section>
Your PHP code is correct from the looks of things, but that messed up form tag was the big problem.
