PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail

Closed 8 years ago.
Recently, I have purchased a domain and hosting. I've also created a webpage having contact form in it. I want when the user wrote something in textarea of contact form and clicks submit then that message is sended to my gmail account and so that i can reply also to those messages. I've also used this script to do so but its not working.
This is sendemail.php file
<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
$status = array(
'type'=>'success',
'message'=>'Thank you for contact us. As early as possible we will contact you '
);
$name = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$email = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$subject = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
$message = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['message']));
$email_from = $email;
$email_to = 'raunakhajela#gmail.com';//replace with your email
$body = 'Name: ' . $name . "\n\n" . 'Email: ' . $email . "\n\n" . 'Subject: ' . $subject . "\n\n" . 'Message: ' . $message;
$success = #mail($email_to, $subject, $body, 'From: <'.$email_from.'>');
echo json_encode($status);
die;
This is my contact form code in index.php
<div class="contact" id="contact">
<div class="container-3x">
<div class="block-header"> <!-- Blocks Header -->
<h2 class="title">Contact Us</h2>
</div>
<div class="block-content"> <!-- Blocks Content -->
<form action="sendemailphp" method="post" class="trigger-form-animate">
<input type="text" value="" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name *" />
<input type="text" value="" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email *" />
<input type="text" value="" id="website" name="website" placeholder="Website *" />
<textarea type="text" value="" id="message" name="message" rows="3" placeholder="Your Message *" ></textarea>
<div class="clr"></div>
<button>Submit Message</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I've also tried "http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/06/connect-your-website-email-address-to.html" this tutorial but its not working. Unable to find "Send through Gmail (easier to set up)" this option in gmail on adding another accounts windoww.
How can i do that?? Plzz hlp

Answer 1

You don't have a named subject form element which may explain why mail is failing and may very well be sent to Spam instead.
For example: <input type="text" name="subject">. Either add one of replace.
You will however need to make sure that this is filled out using a conditional statement
(see further below for an example).
$subject = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
with
$subject = "Form submission";
You could also add this instead to your form:
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form submission">
Either this or what I've outlined just above will work.
Many Email clients will either send mail to Spam or reject it altogether if a "subject" is missing, which is clearly missing from your code.
Checking if subject has been filled example:
if(isset($_POST['subject']) && !empty($_POST['subject'])){
// do someting
}

try this,both will work
<?php
$to = "usermailid#gmail.com";
$subject = "Welcome to";
$message = " Hi $username,<br /><br />
Thank you for signing up with us.<br />
Thanks <br />";
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <yourmailid#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$mail=mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if($mail)
{
$to = "admin#gmail.com";
$subject = "Following Customer Signed Up";
$message = " $username,Customer is signed up with us,<br /><br />
Customer Details:<br />First Name:$firstname<br/>Last Name:$lastname<br/>Email:$email<br/>
Phone:$phone<br/>Zip Code:$zip<br/>Message:$message_cust<br/><br/><br/>
Thanks <br />";
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <yourmailid#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$mail=mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
?>
