this is my site:
http://feriapixel.cl...nway/index.html
I've been trying other stuff and now i have the php code and the form in the same index.php file.
The form now looks like this
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="nombre" placeholder="Nombre" name="nombre">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="apellido" placeholder="Apellido" name="apellido">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="telefono" placeholder="Número Móvil" name="telefono">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="mail" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Email" name="email">
</div>
<button type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="btn btn-ganarplata">QUIERO GANAR MÁS PLATA<br> VENDIENDO CLEAN WAY</button>
</form>
And i have the php at the beginning of the file like this:
<?php
$nombre = $_POST['nombre'];
$apellido = $_POST['apellido'];
$telefono = $_POST['telefono'];
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$from = 'From: Cleanway';
$to = 'alteizen#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Formulario de contacto Cleanway';
$body ="De: $nombre\n $apellido\n E-Mail: $mail\n Fono: $telefono\n ";
?>
<?
if ($_POST['submit']) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Su mensaje ha sido enviado</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>No se pudo mandar su mensaje</p>';
}
}
?>
And now i have checked out and it is not a hosting issue, because if i take out the following if statement:
if ($_POST['submit']) {
The mail is automatically sent when i load the page. So the problem is with the if statement, something is wrong there.
Problem solved, this was missing:
QUIERO GANAR MÁS PLATA VENDIENDO CLEAN WAY
The button needed a "submit" value for sending the mail. That was all, thanks to me.

Answer 1

You need to add an email address to $headers so that when you mail, the from address can be seen. Actually, your web server needs an MX record. Use it like this.
NOTE: If you use an email that is not your website's email(like xxx#gmail.com) it won't gonna work.
$headers .= "From: Name <email#example.com>";
So I think this will gonna work.
