Form not submitting in Chrome and Safari - php

Question

I am new to PHP, so I am not sure what is wrong with the code. I have tested the form in Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome, and Safari and it works great in both I.E. and FireFox, but it doesn't work in Chrome or Safari. In both Chrome and Safari I get the successfully submitted page, but I do not get an email sent to me.
HTML page:
<form name="balxfrform" action="baltransfer.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="_SUBJECT" value="Transfer Request Form">
<b>* Name:</b> <input name="name" type="text" size="60"><br>
<b>* Email:</b> <input name="email" type="text" size="60"><br>
<b>Member Number (Last 3 Digits) XXX:</b> <input name="account" type="text" size="10"><br>
<b>Card Number:</b> <input name="ccnumber" type="text" size="40"><br>
<b>Phone Number:</b> <input name="pnumber" type="text" size="20"><br>
<b>Best Time to reach you<sup>1</sup>:</b> <input name="time" type="text" size="40"><br>
<b>* I agree to the terms and conditions listed below:</b> Yes <input name="terms" type="checkbox" value="Yes"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
PHP page:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
$email_to = "email#test.com";
$email_subject = "Transfer Request Form";
function died($error) {
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted.<br /><br /> ";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix the error(s).<br /><br />";
die();
}
if(!isset($_POST['name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['account']) ||
!isset($_POST['ccnumber']) ||
!isset($_POST['pnumber']) ||
!isset($_POST['time']) ||
!isset($_POST['terms'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$name = $_POST['name']; // required

died($error_message);
}
if(!isset($terms)) {
$error_message .= 'You must agree to the Terms and Conditions to continue.';
}
$email_message = "Form Details Below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Member Number XXX: ".clean_string($account)."\n";
$email_message .= "Card Number: ".clean_string($ccnumber)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($pnumber)."\n";
$email_message .= "Best Time to be Reached: ".clean_string($time)."\n"."\n";
$email_message .= "Agree to Terms and Conditions: ".clean_string($terms)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: email#test.com'.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>

Answer 1

Probably there will be nothing to do with the PHP part. PHP is run on the server side. Since one browsers interpret HTML code differently, this might be an HTML syntax issue of your HTML form. You may try validating your HTML. Try this tool .

Answer 2

Try following solutions
1.) add # before mail() function
ex : #mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
2.)if (!mail(...)) {
// again Call your code
}
