PHP - FORM TO MAIL NOT WORKING - php

Question

Okay, so I've followed a tutorial and just changed some of the variables and created them. I have a HTML and PHP code below, what's wrong with the PHP that's causing it not too work? Any ideas.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = " MY EMAIL ";
$email_subject = "FORM SUBMISSION";
// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||
!isset($_POST['address']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
!isset($_POST['message'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$name = $_POST['name']; // required
$address = $_POST['address']; // required
$email = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
$message = $_POST['message']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Address: ".clean_string($address)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($message)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
#mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message);
?>
<?php
header('Location: MY LINK IS HERE BUT NOT WORKING');
?>
<?php
}
?>

</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<p class="input-label">Message <span class="star-red">*</span>
</p>
<textarea name="message" id="message" style="width:100% !important;" rows="6" required></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<input type="submit" class="submit-button">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
&nbsp
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
If there is anything that I need to change? I think the error messages may be breaking the PHP.

Answer 1

It seems there are two things wrong in the PHP script:
!isset($_POST['address`']) ||
needs to be
!isset($_POST['address']) ||
and
if(strlen($messages) < 2) {
needs to be
if(strlen($message) < 2) {
Maybe you can look into the usage of some "form validators" for some better usability. It would be a bit nicer to show the same form again but then with error messages attached to them, in stead of stopping the script with an error message.
EDIT:
For the header redirect: remove the whitespaces. The header('...') function needs to run before any browser output. Now there are whitespaces outputted to the browser. So remove "? >" and "< ? php"
?>
<?php
header('Location: MY LINK IS HERE BUT NOT WORKING');
