Closed 5 years ago.
I haven't written code in years, so I am going off old code from a project that is over 5 years old, so I am not surprised that it doesn't work; I would like some pointers on how to make it work, please.
Here is what I have in my HTML email form --
<form action="fydcontact.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_name">Name:</label>-->
<input type="text" id="contact_name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_email">Email:</label>-->
<input type="text" id="contact_email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_message">Message:</label>-->
<textarea id="contact_message" class="form-control" rows="9" placeholder="Write a message"></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send</button>
</form>
and here is what my PHP looks like --
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
// Prepare the email
$to = ''foryourdayformals#gmail.com ';
$name = $_POST['contact_name'];
$mail_from = $_POST['contact_email'];
$subject = 'Message sent from website';
$message = $_POST['contact_message'];
$header = "From: $name <$mail_from>";
// Send it
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
if($sent) {
echo 'Your message has been sent successfully! Return to For Your Day, LLC Website';
} else {
echo 'Sorry, your message could not send. Please use direct email link on Contact Us page (below the map). Return to For Your Day, LLC Website';
}
}
?>
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

update
$to = ''foryourdayformals#gmail.com ';
to
$to = 'foryourdayformals#gmail.com';
and need to add name attribute for form . This update your form
<form action="fydcontact.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_name">Name:</label>-->
<input type="text" id="contact_name" name="contact_name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_email">Email:</label>-->
<input type="text" id="contact_email" name="contact_email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<!--<label for="contact_message">Message:</label>-->
<textarea id="contact_message" name="contact_message" class="form-control" rows="9" placeholder="Write a message"></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name ="send">Send</button>
</form>
