PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a form which upon submission directs to a aspx page, which uses the form's data. Before directing to the above stated page, jquery is used alongside ajax to retrieve form values, and it sends everything to my php email file, which should be sending me informational emails whenever a form is submitted. Unfortunately I recevie nothing, everything else works, but I don't receive any email. Please help, I'm not sure why this isn't working.
Additional Info: I'm using wordpress and have called the jquery file via the functions.php. The php file is called via the jquery file.
Thanks in Advance!

data: data,
success: function(){
$('#nform').submit();
}
});
});
});
PHP Mail
<?php
if($_POST){
$first = $_POST['first'];
$last = $_POST['last'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$sendto = "myemailaddress#gmail.com";
$message = "";
$message .= "<p> Name: " . $first . " " . $last "</p>";
$message .= "<p> Email: " . $email . "</p>";
$message .= "<p> Phone Number: " . $phone . "</p>";
$mail = 'no-reply#'.str_replace('www.', '', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
$uniqid = md5(uniqid(time()));
$headers = 'From: '.$mail."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-to: '.$mail."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Return-Path: '.$mail."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Message-ID: <'.$uniqid.'#'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">\r\n";
$headers .= 'Date: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time())."\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Priority: 3'."\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;boundary="----------'.$uniqid.'"'."\r\n";
$headers .= '------------'.$uniqid."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit';
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
//send email
mail($sendto, "Apply Submission by " .$email, $message, $headers);
}
?>

Answer 1

Try to make any feedback from mail.php, then success will fired:
...
//send email
mail($sendto, "Apply Submission by " .$email, $message, $headers);
header("Content-Type:text/html");
echo("ok");
}
?>

Answer 2

Try this:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
async: false,
url: "/wp-content/themes/Avada/email.php",
data: data,
success: function(){
window.location = "https://redirection_page.aspx/"
}
});
PHP Mail
if(mail($sendto, "Apply Submission by " .$email, $message, $headers)){
echo 'true';
}
