Using PHP for email file in HTML - php

Question

I've been having problems using php in my html form. While it will send, the $_POST variables are empty when I try to grab them in the php file. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
My HTML code:
<form class="submitAMessage" name="Submit a Message" method="post" action="sendresults.php">
<div>
<h4>Submit a Message:</h4>
<label for="name">Name:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required="required" />
</div>
<div> <br>
<label for="email">Email Address:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="your#email.com" required="required" />
</div>
<div> <br>
<label for="message">Message:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="Write your message here." required></textarea>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" formmethod="POST" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
My php file:
<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------
// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Results from Contact Form';
$emailfrom = 'noreply#website.com';
// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = 'website#gmail.com';
// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.website.com/main.html';
// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty.
// If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';
// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from Form:\n\n";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$line = '
';
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text.$name.$line.$email.$line.$message, 'From: '.$emailfrom.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
?>
The only thing that sends in the email is:
Results from Form:
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need to pass the headers into the mail function which is option.
Here is the functions all parameters
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
$to Receiver, or receivers of the mail.
$subject Subject of the email to be sent.
$message Message to be sent.
$additional_headers this is the optional headers which is used for the mail options
you can to set the following values in headers.
// header configuration for to send the HTML mail
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
$additional_parameters The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional flags as command line options to the program configured to be used when sending mail

Answer 2

You should use the header in mail function. Add following code in in your code too.
$header = "From:abc#somedomain.com \r\n";
$header .= "Cc:afgh#somedomain.com \r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text.$name.$line.$email.$line.$message,$header, 'From: '.$emailfrom.'');
Good luck.
