<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>
Thanks guys
Just need to pass the appropriate headers to the mail function:
// Send HTML Message
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'From: example name <example#example.com>' . PHP_EOL;
mail('to#example.com', 'Subject', $output, $headers);
$to = "$email";
// Change this to your site admin email
$from = "admin#MYSITE.COM";
$subject = "Welcome to MYSITE.COM";
//Begin HTML Email Message where you need to change the activation URL inside
$message = '<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Dear ' . $firstname . ',

// end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$to";
// Finally send the activation email to the member
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
You can edit the code to suit your needs. but it should help you understand how to send an HTML eMAIL directly from PHP.

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

I have an HTML form that posts to a PHP mail function. For some reason it does not send the content anymore. The emails display "This email has no content." Am I missing something?
//HTML - Post method form.
<form class="form" id="form" action="submitform.php" method="post">
<h2 style="padding-top: 10px;">Contact Us</h2>
<input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name"><br>
<input class="input" type="text" placeholder="E-Mail Address" name="email"><br>
<input class="input" type="text" placeholder="Phone #" name="phone"><br>
<textarea class="input" placeholder="Questions, Specifications, etc."
name="message</textarea>
<input class="inputButton" type="submit">
</form>
//PHP - Gets posted HTML input data and sends it to the email, formatted with \n
<?php
$to = 'example#example.com' ;
$subject = 'Inquiry' ;
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$phone = $_POST['phone'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$message = "From: $name \nEmail: $email \nPhone: $phone \nMessage: $message \n";
$sent = mail ($to, $subject, $message) ;
if($sent == true) {
echo "<h3>Thank you for your inquiry.</h3>";
}else{
echo "<h3>Sorry, your message wasn't sent.</h3>;
}
?>
I've found defining headers, even if I just want default values, helps me get my mail delivered. I can't say this is what you need to do because your code looks like it should run successfully as is.
An example of setting the headers to (I believe) default values:
$to = $to_email;
$subject = $your_subject;
$message = $your_message;
$headers = "From: S.O.<no-reply#dontusethis.email>\r\n" .
"Reply-To: [can be nice, not needed of course]\r\n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
I've been having problems using php in my html form. While it will send, the $_POST variables are empty when I try to grab them in the php file. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
My HTML code:
<form class="submitAMessage" name="Submit a Message" method="post" action="sendresults.php">
<div>
<h4>Submit a Message:</h4>
<label for="name">Name:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required="required" />
</div>
<div> <br>
<label for="email">Email Address:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="your#email.com" required="required" />
</div>
<div> <br>
<label for="message">Message:<br><span class="required"></span></label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="Write your message here." required></textarea>
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" formmethod="POST" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
My php file:
<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------
// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Results from Contact Form';
$emailfrom = 'noreply#website.com';
// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = 'website#gmail.com';
// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.website.com/main.html';
// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty.
// If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';
// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from Form:\n\n";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$line = '
';
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text.$name.$line.$email.$line.$message, 'From: '.$emailfrom.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
?>
The only thing that sends in the email is:
Results from Form:
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
You need to pass the headers into the mail function which is option.
Here is the functions all parameters
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
$to Receiver, or receivers of the mail.
$subject Subject of the email to be sent.
$message Message to be sent.
$additional_headers this is the optional headers which is used for the mail options
you can to set the following values in headers.
// header configuration for to send the HTML mail
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
$additional_parameters The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional flags as command line options to the program configured to be used when sending mail
You should use the header in mail function. Add following code in in your code too.
$header = "From:abc#somedomain.com \r\n";
$header .= "Cc:afgh#somedomain.com \r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text.$name.$line.$email.$line.$message,$header, 'From: '.$emailfrom.'');
Good luck.
I have a very basic form that uses PhpMail to send it's content but is there some way to change the "sender name" of the form from an e-mail adress to a name.
Example:
Instead of "from: form.ello#whatever.org" it says "From: Ello Recruitment" or whatever.
Here's the code i'm currently using:
HTML:
<form name="10_percent" action="http://www.whatever.org/recruit.php" method="post" style="text-align:center;">
<label for="description"><p>Description</p></label>
<textarea name="description" id="description" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Send" style="width:88px; height:24px;"/>
</form>
PHP:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "xxx#whatever.org";
$subject = "Recruitment";
$epost_field = $_POST['description'];
$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$headers = 'From: Ello Recruitment' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: xxx#whatever.org' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$body = "$description_field\n";
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=http://www.whatever.org\">";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
} else {
echo "not working";
}
?>
Marcel was nearly there - you need to change the From header:
$headers = 'From: Ello Recruitment <form.ello#whatever.org>' . "\r\n" .
You may have trouble setting the From address on some servers, for example gmail doesn't let you do this arbitrarily.
I would recommend you use a library to send email from PHP as it will do all this kind for formatting for you correctly.

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

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
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,$headers);
}
?>
When i send an email, Gmail automatically sends the name from the email owner, lets imagine that your name is Chris and your email is chris#mail.com and you send an email, the receiver will recive this:
Chris - Subject - Message
And the email will be:
from: chris#mail.com
I want to change name, i created a input box to write the name that the sender wants, how can i join this to from?
I want to do that:
Sender name - Subject - Message
My code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$sendername = $_POST['sendername'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$to = $_POST['to'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= 'From: '.$from.' ' . PHP_EOL;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
?>
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" placeholder="Sender name" name="sendername" />
<input type="text" placeholder="from" name="from" />
<input type="text" placeholder="to" name="to" />
<input type="text" placeholder="Subject" name="subject" />
<textarea type="text" placeholder="Message" name="message"></textarea>
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>
This should do:
$headers .= "From: $sendername <$from>".PHP_EOL;
Simply change
$sendername = $_POST['sendername'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
to
$sendername = $_POST['sendername'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$from = "\"$sendername \" <$from>";
Try this:
$headers .= "From: $sendername <$from>".PHP_EOL;
Hope it helps! :)
