Im trying to create a contact form in xampp, but I don't know why the form isn't sending the email. The php form also displays no errors even if it is told to. I have the file in the proper localhost directory, yet it does not perform correctly. Here is the code I use
<?php
if (empty($_POST) === false) {
$errors = array();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if (empty($name) === true || empty($email) === true || empty($message) === true) {
$errors[] = 'Name, email and message are required!';
} else {
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false) {
$errors[] = 'That\'s not a valid email address';
}
if (ctype_alpha($name) === false) {
$error[] = 'Name must only contain letters';
}
}
if (empty($errors) === true) {
mail('admin#localhost', 'Contact form', $message, 'From: ' . $email);
header('Location: www.artfbla.org/contact.php?sent');
exit();
}
}
?>

You need an SMTP server set up on localhost.

I have made a contact form using PhP, HTML and CSS. When I submit the form with incorrect information, the CSS padding dissapears. Do any one see what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance!
<?php

Probably some css rules were overwriten by additional class which appears during validation.
I've gone through and read a bunch of other questions asked about this issue, but I'm still as confused now as when I started with this problem. From what I have read, I've learned the following:
I don't believe any html is being done before the header() - But I'm new at this still so I'm possibly wrong.
I haven't found any syntax errors.
The form submits ok and I receive test emails.
What happens is, I fill out the form completely with valid text and hit Submit. The data is submitted and sent to my email and the page refreshes back to a fresh contact form (contact.php) where it should be instead going to my thanks.php page.
Here is my code, email addresses changed.
Thank you in advance for any/all help! Much appreciated.

$errors = array();

Your problem is this line
if ($mailSent) {
header('Location: thanks.php');
exit();
}
You have not set $mailsent anywhere above that statement. So it is never getting to that point.
Once it has passed that part of your code it will not pop back up to check if mail sent unless you call a function or similar down lower that points to it.
I hope that sets you on the right path, let me know if you need further help.

How do I make my contact form validated only using PHP? I want to be able to have error messages directly under the text field that has an error. For each text field, I do not want multiple errors to show up at once. If you submit the form with nothing in the fields, you see that under name and email two errors show up for each. I want the errors to show up only once due to some type of specifications. Right now I think I am on the right track. However, the code below does not have the email being sent. I am very new to PHP. If anybody could help me, I would really appreciate it.
<?php
if (($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && (!empty($_POST['action']))){
$errors = array($name_error_1, $name_error_2, $email_error_1, $email_error_2, $subject_error, $message_error);
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if ($name === '') {
$name_error_1 = '<div style="color:red;"> Name is a required field! </div>';
}
if ($email === '') {
$email_error_1 = '<div style="color:red;"> Email is a required field! </div>';
}
if ($subject === '') {
$subject_error = '<div style="color:red;"> Subject is a required field! </div>';
}
if ($message === '') {
$message_error = '<div style="color:red;"> Message is a required field! </div>';
}
if (isset($email) && (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false)){
$email_error_2 = '<div style="color:red;"> The email address must be real! </div>';
}
if (ctype_alpha($name) === false) {
$name_error_2 = '<div style="color:red;"> Your name must only contain letters! </div>';
}
/*Main way that mail works*/
if (empty($errors) === true) {
/*Where_mail_goes_to, Subject, Body_text, Who_email_is_from*/
mail('email_address', $subject, "From " . $name . "\r\r" . $message, 'From: ' . $email);
/*Shows up in the URL if the message has been sent*/
header('Location: contact.php?sent');
exit();
}
} //end of main if
?>
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" >
<span class="label">Name</span><br/>
<?php if (isset($name_error_1)) { echo $name_error_1; } ?>
<?php if (isset($name_error_2)) { echo $name_error_2; } ?>
<input type="text" class="textfield" name="name" size="50" maxlength="50" <?php if (isset($_POST['name']) === true) { echo 'value="', strip_tags($_POST['name']), '"'; } ?> > <br/>

You could create an array of errors for each field and display just the first error added to it.
<?php
$email_errors = array();
if ($email == '')
{
$email_errors[] = 'First error';
}
if (more_email_checks($email) == false)
{
$email_errors[] = 'Second error';
}
?>
...
<span class="label">Email</span><br />
<?php echo array_shift($email_errors); ?>
To know whether to send e-mails or not, you could do something like this:
$errors_found = 0;
if (check_email($email) == false)
{
$email_error = 'Error message';
$errors_found++;
}
...
if ($errors_found == 0)
{
mail(...);
}
You can do it by using the elseif check
<span class="label">Email</span><br/>
<?php if (isset($email_error_1))
{
echo $email_error_1;
}
elseif(isset($email_error_2)) {
echo $email_error_2;
} ?>
Also move this line after the last validation check
if (ctype_alpha($name) === false) {
$name_error_2 = '<div style="color:red;"> Your name must only contain letters! </div>';
}
$errors = array($name_error_1, $name_error_2, $email_error_1, $email_error_2, $subject_error, $message_error);
you can by this code for name
<?
$message = "<div style = 'color :red ' /> ;
if (isset(name == '' ) {
echo $message
}
?>
this is name php vaildation but yo can create js
Change your email validation to:
<span class="label">Email</span><br/>
<?php if (isset($email_error_1))
{
echo $email_error_1;
}else if(isset($email_error_2)) {
echo $email_error_2;
} ?>
same if else can be applied to all the fields with multiple validation conditions.
and then move your error array just above the email condition check:
<?php
$errors = array($name_error_1, $name_error_2, $email_error_1, $email_error_2, $subject_error, $message_error);
//and change your mail function as:
$to = 'email_address';
$headers = $headers .= 'From: $name <$email>';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Also perform a check on the control, if you have filled the form completely then it should come to the mail function, I mean just check the if condition, in case you have some issue with the condition, try to put an echo inside if statement(which is responsible for sending email), and if that echo statement executes then mail should work.
:)
I'm having all kinds of issues with contact form. When I test on my home server everything runs smoothly. Once I upload it online it doesn't work. First there were problems with headers and now apparently "This web page has a redirect loop".
Here's my code. Please advice me what to do.
Thanks.

Try redirecting to a different page with just the success message in it.
i.e. replace
header('Location:mail.php?sent');
with
header('Location:mail-success.php?sent');
Then get rid of (move to the new page)
if (isset($_GET['sent']) === true) {
echo '<p>Thanks for contacting us!</p>';
}
Also try adding 303 status to the header call
