Can't seem to get PHP form to display - php

Question

I am working on my version 2 of my portfolio site, I had a working mailer I created with a guide about a year ago, transferred it, and can't get my page to display now.
Here is the code I am using:
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST["My_Portfolio_Website"] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] . "\nName: " . $name . "\nEmail: ".$email; "\n \nMessage: ".$message;
echo "<h1>Thank you for contacting me. I will get back to you ASAP!</h1>";
}else{
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
echo <form method="post" action="contact.php" class="connect">
<div>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" required>
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" required>
<label for="email">Your Email</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<label for="message">Your Message</label>
</div>
<div class="metro">
<div class="metro-button" type="submit">Click me</div>
</div>
</form>
}
?>
I ran it through a PHP syntax checker and it did not pull anything out, does anyone have any ideas?
For reference: Here is the original code I used on Version 1. I formatted it so it would display the email a little more cleaner, which probably royally screwed it up.
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST["My Portfolio Website"] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'].", Name: ".$name.", ".$phone.", Email: ".$email;
mail("TylerJStelmach#gmail.com", $subject, $message, "From:" . $email);
echo "<h1>Thank you for contacting me. I will get back to you ASAP!</h1>";
}else{
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
echo "<form method='post' action='index.php'>
<input type='text' input name='name' id='name' class='contacttext' placeholder=' Your Name' required>
<input type='text' input name='email' id='email' class='contacttext' placeholder=' Your Email Address' required>
<textarea input type='text' name='message' id='message' class='contacttext' placeholder=' Your Message' cols='55' rows='5' required></textarea>
<input type='submit' id='submit' class='submitcontacttext' value='Send Message'>
</form>";
}
?>

Answer 1

There are some syntax errors.
Also, your snipplet does not contain code to send mail.
Corrected code is as following:
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST["My_Portfolio_Website"] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] . "\nName: " . $name . "\nEmail: ".$email; "\n \nMessage: ".$message;
echo "<h1>Thank you for contacting me. I will get back to you ASAP!</h1>";
}else{
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
echo '<form method="post" action="contact.php" class="connect">
<div>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" required>
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" required>
<label for="email">Your Email</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<label for="message">Your Message</label>
</div>
<div class="metro">
<div class="metro-button" type="submit">Click me</div>
</div>
</form>';
}
?>

Answer 2

as all are saying where is the line to send mail but as i have seen your site there is no sign of any code.
as i am just guessing, even if the if is false, the else should run as it is running in my localhost.
the problem must be something with your sever.
put a error_reporting(E_ALL); on top it will show errors if it there.
else try writing in a new file.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
{
//send email
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST["My_Portfolio_Website"] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] . "\nName: " . $name . "\nEmail: ".$email; "\n \nMessage: ".$message;
echo "<h1>Thank you for contacting me. I will get back to you ASAP!</h1>";
}else{
?>
<form method="post" action="contact.php" class="connect">
<div>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" required>
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" required>
<label for="email">Your Email</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<label for="message">Your Message</label>
</div>
<div class="metro">
<div class="metro-button" type="submit">Click me</div>
</div>
</form>
<?php
}
?>

I was able to figure this out by re-writing the original code I had based on the guide I used about a year ago, I came up with this for the answer which indeed works.
For all of the handling of where the information goes and how it was formated I included this chunk of php before I declared the doctype.
<?php
if($_POST["submit"]) {
$recipient="myemail#email.com";
$subject="Client Mail";
$name=$_POST["name"];
$email=$_POST["email"];
$email_from = $_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST["message"];
$mailBody="Name: $name\nEmail: $email\n\nMessage: $message";
mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, "From: $sender <$email>");
$thankYou="<p class='thank-you'>Thank you! Your message has been sent.</p>";
}
?>
From here, I figured out that the reason it wasn't submitting to it's own page was because my submit button was neither a button or input. I had it set as a div so with some tweaks here and there I rewrote the lower half to include an input as the submit. Which left me with this:
<?=$thankYou ?>
I included a small amount of text to display ( the $thankYou ) when you submit to the page and it reloads.
<form method="post" action="contact.php" class="connect">
<div>
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" required>
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" required>
<label for="email">Your Email</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>
<label for="message">Your Message</label>
</div>
<div class="metro">
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="metro-button submit-me">
</div>
</form>
So now when submitted, the email comes in with:
The 'from' being set by $email
The 'subject' being set by $subject
and the message ($message) being formatted in this manner:
Name: John Doe
Email: JDoe#fake.com
Message: This is John Doe's message.
My apologies for the terrible question phrasing before hand, it was late at night and I was getting frustrated and losing my place, got a good nights rest and was able to solve it.
Here is the live version, I encourage you to test it, it works for me perfectly, hopefully this snippet can help someone else in the future!
