PHP form doesn't send mail – just reloads page - php

I have a problem with my contact form. When I click the send button it just refreshes the page and doesn't send the mail. I tried so many things but couldn't find a solution. I hope somebody can help me.
Here is the php and contact part:
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$body ="From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
$mail = mail('mymail#gmail.com', $subject, $body);
if ($mail==true)
{
header ("Location: index.php?success=1#contact");
}
else
{
header ("Location: index.php?success=2#contact" );
}
}
?>
....
<form id="contact-form">

The problem is that you have a form tag inside another form tag.
Try to change the form tag what have the id contact-form to a div tag.

contact form not getting submitted

On clicking the submit button it is showing submit is not set after the if condition. I guess this message is showing because the form is not getting submitted.

On sending the email by clicking the send message button an alert box should show up, but it is not coming up neither it is showing inquiry sent successfully nor it is showing email not sent I don't know where I'm going wrong. Please help me resolve this issue.
Any help will be highly appreciable. I'm attaching herewith a part of my contact.php code and my mail.php code.

Replace
<button class="btn btn-primary solid blank button" id="btn" type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">Send Message</button>
To
<input class="btn btn-primary solid blank button" id="btn" type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
you should add name to your button
<button class="btn btn-primary solid blank button" id="btn" name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">Send Message</button>
also as you're redirecting by changing header it won't show you the alert as alert was on different page.
try this code
<form id="contact-form" method="POST" action="">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Name</label>
<input class="form-control" name="name" id="name" placeholder="" type="text" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Email</label>
<input class="form-control" name="email" id="email" placeholder="" type="email" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label>Subject</label>
<input class="form-control" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="" required>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Message</label>
<textarea class="form-control" name="message" id="message" placeholder="" rows="10" required></textarea>
</div>
<div class="text-right"><br>
<button class="btn btn-primary solid blank button" id="btn" name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">Send Message</button>
</div>
</form>
and below this write your php code in same file
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "contact#imatrixautomation.com";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$message .= "\r\n from: $email";
if(mail($to, $subject, $name, $message)) {
echo "<script>alert('Enquiry sent successfully!');</script>";
}
else {
echo "<script>alert('Mail was not sent. Please try again later');
</script>";
}
}
?>
In the contact.php file
name="submit" is missing for the submit button.
This line should be:
<button class="btn btn-primary solid blank button" id="btn" type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">Send Message</button>
Explanation:
Currently the
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
always evaluates to FALSE as POST['submit'] is empty so it continues at the header()...
################
try this code as mail.php and tell us what happens ;-)
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo "submit is set to {$_POST['submit']} and now we send the email<br>";
$to = "contact#imatrixautomation.com";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$message .="\r\n from: $email";
if(mail ($to, $subject, $name, $message)){
echo "Enquiry sent successfully!<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Mail was not sent. Please try again later<br>";
}
} else{
echo"submit is not set<br>";
}
echo "after the if condition";
exit;
?>

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

$to = "alyyashar#gmail.com";
$subject = "New email from your site!";
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

$body = "$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.

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>';

Web page contact form in PHP not working [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
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.
