Hope you can help, I am trying to knock up a contact form for my website which is HTML, styled with CSS and the email sent with PHP.
Website: Evan Ciniello
Issue One: When a message is submitted through the contact form it does not redirect, or refresh (ends up at www.evanciniello.ca/php/submit.php)
Issue Two: The body of the message itself is not visible in my inbox (i.e I can see who sent the email but can not read the message).
Contact HTML form
<div id="container" class="clearfix">
<div class="element clearfix col2-3 contact">
<form id="contact-us" action="/php/submit.php" method="post">
<h1>Contact Us!</h1>
<input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="NAME" required>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="MAIL" required>
<textarea name="message" placeholder="MESSAGE" required ></textarea>
<input id="button" type="submit" class="submit"></button>
</form>
<div id="error" style="display:none;"> Please Provide Valid Information</div>
</div>
</div>
PHP Form
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "contact#evanciniello.ca";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$success = mail($to, $subject, $body);
}
?>

This is normal. In your /php/submit.php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (empty($_POST["message"]) || empty($_POST["first_name"]) || empty($_POST["email"])) {
//Set up some error messages here and show that to the users.
} else {
$to = "contact#evanciniello.ca";
$subject = "Form Tutorial";
$name_field = $_POST['first_name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$success = mail($to, $subject, $body);
if ($succes) {
//Now we need to redirect
$url = "http://www.evanciniello.ca/WHEREYOUWANTTOREDIRECT";
Header("Location: " . $url);
} else {
//Set up error message, that message can not be setn
die("Message can not be sent");
}
}
}
Add a name to the submit:
<input id="button" type="submit" class="submit" name="submit"></button>
