Using HTML and PHP to send form data to an email - php

Question

Like the title says, sending a form to my email. I get no errors, but the email never comes. Here's my HTML form (I don't think you'll need anything else, but there is also some formatting and Java verification in the file).
<form method="POST" name="contactform" action="contact-form-handler.php">
<p>
<label for='name'>Your Name:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="name">
</p>
<p>
<label for='email'>Email Address:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
</p>
<p>
<label for='message'>Message:</label>
<br>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<br>
</form>
And here's my PHP. Obviously I took my email out and put in EMAIL instead, but other than that this is my complete PHP file. The thank you PHP file pulls up the submitted page just fine, and I get no errors. Just no email either.
<?php
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'EMAIL#gmail.com';
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['message']))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if (!preg_match(
"/ ^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i",
$email_address))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address";
}
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = '$myemail';
$email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
" Here are the details:\n Name: $name \n ".
"Email: $email_address\n Message \n $message";
$headers = "From: $myemail\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html');
}
?>
Thanks ahead of time for any help you can provide! I can give the rest of my HTML file or my other PHP file if you need it, this is where all the real functionality lies though.

Answer 2

Try add in top file:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
and edit your code, see:
if(mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers)){
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html');
} else {
echo 'Error!';
}
Read this:

Answer 3

you have the variable $myemail as a string value after $to = Remove the parentheses and your code will work

Answer 4

The problem is with your From field in your $headers variable.
you can't just put any email address in there. For example: you are supposed to put an existing email address of your server that you create. Or if you want to use a gmail account in from field, you need to configure your gmail username and password with your server first before using that email.
The simplest solution is to create a new email address on your hosting server and then put that email address in your from field in $headers variable.
I've already mentioned it in details here.
