Very simple email form code. Worked once, but won't work anymore, even at different addresses. That is to say the emails no longer show up, but I'm not erroring out eather.
<form action="/mail-us.php" method="POST">
<p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
<p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
<p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send"><input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>
And here is the PHP
<?php $name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "blah#x-matic.net";
$subject = "X-Matic Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error sending email!");
?>
Note, I tested the email out with my gmail account (from gmail to email, instead of from form to email) and it worked.
Use SMTP mail when in localhost, and switch to mail() once the site is in a webserver (i.e your webhost)
At least that is what i do.
Unless you want to install Pegasus Mail on your computer, the mail() function will not work on your localhost computer, as your computer does not have a mail server installed.
Either that, or use SMTP.
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$to = "xxx#google.com";
$subject = "Email from Sender; // quotation marks end ;
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
}
else
{
echo "Mail sending Failure!";
}
?>

I've found some similar questions to my query, but none that fully match my situation.
I had a basic mail() PHP setup for use on the contact form on my website but, turns out this is blocked on my hosting server to avoid spam/abuse.
The web host recommends using SMTP as a workaround, but the tutorial they link to doesn't seem to provide a working solution for me!
This is my HTML:
<form action="php/mail.php" method="POST">
<p class="form-field-title">Name</p>
<input class="contact-field focus-hide" type="text" id="name" name="name" required autocomplete="off">
<p class="form-field-title">Email Address</p>
<input class="contact-field focus-hide" type="email" id="email" name="email" required autocomplete="off">
<p class="form-field-title">Phone</p>
<input class="contact-field focus-hide" type="text" id="number" name="number" autocomplete="off">
<p class="form-field-title">Message</p>
<textarea class="contact-field focus-hide" id="message" name="message" data-gramm_editor="false" required autocomplete="off"></textarea>
<input class="contact-button" type="submit" value="Send Message">
</form>
And this is my original (non-SMTP) mail.php code:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$number = $_POST['number'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="Name: $name \nEmail: $email \nPhone Number: $number \nMessage: $message";
$recipient = "email#email.com";
$subject = "Website Contact Form Enquiry";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header('Location: ../thanks.html');
exit();
?>
I have the email server details for my web hosting, but none of the SMTP solutions I've found are working for me!
Is anyone able to help me? I've seen a few things about using PEAR, but their website doesn't seem to be working...?
Thanks!
If your form is in an email, I think you can't post data (maybe I'm wrong). But you can send it to your script with method get.
<form action="php/mail.php" method="GET">
</form>
Then update your php :
<?php
$name = $_GET['name'];
$email = $_GET['email'];
$number = $_GET['number'];
$message = $_GET['message'];
$formcontent="Name: $name \nEmail: $email \nPhone Number: $number \nMessage: $message";
$recipient = "email#email.com";
$subject = "Website Contact Form Enquiry";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header('Location: ../thanks.html');
exit();
?>
It should do the job.
My form is sending a blank email (field data empty) to me every time i visit my site or refresh it.
I had a look at a few posts mentioning 'Post/Redirect/Get', but that confused me more than helped, and im not sure if it pertains to my exact issue.
This was a basic responsive form i found online and had to find the PHP to actually send the form data. (Changing it to suit my needs)
I'm hoping there's just an error i've missed somewhere but i cant seem to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here is the basic form (minus css):
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent=" From: $name \n Phone: $phone \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "MY EMAIL HERE";
$subject = "Portfolio Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
?>
HTML:
<form id="contact-form" action="/" method="post">
<h3>Say Hello!</h3>
<h4>Fill in the form below, and I'll get back to you as soon as i can. Thanks!</h4>
<div>
<label>
<span>Name: (required)</span>
<input placeholder="Please enter your name" type="text" name="name" tabindex="1" required autofocus>
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>
<span>Email: (required)</span>
<input placeholder="Please enter your email address" type="text" name="email" tabindex="2" required>

<span>Telephone: (required)</span>
<input placeholder="Please enter your number" type="text" name="phone" tabindex="3" required>
</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>
<span>Message: (required)</span>
<textarea placeholder="Include all the details you can" type="text" name="message" tabindex="5" required></textarea>
</label>
</div>
<div>
<button name="submit" type="submit" id="contact-submit">Send Email</button>
</div>
</form>
use isset
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent=" From: $name \n Phone: $phone \n Email: $email \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "MY EMAIL HERE";
$subject = "Portfolio Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
}
?>

I am beginner in php and I tried to programe an easy contact form. My question is: whats wrong with my code? I cant seem to find any mistake with formating or anything... This is my code:
contact.php:
...page content...
<div class="contact">
<form action="send_mail.php" method="post">
<fieldset>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name" />
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your email address" />
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea name="message" placeholder="What's on your mind?"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send message" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
...page content...
send_mail.php:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'From: My website';
$to = 'someone#email.cz';
$subject = 'My contact form message';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
if ($_POST['submit']) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>';
}
}
?>
I am getting the "Something went wrong" message, which means taht mail() returned false but I dont know why. Thanks for any help!
This is a common problem with running scripts on your local computer. Most computers will not have an email server and be configured to send email from that server.
For the PHP mail function to work, your computer must have an email server set up.
You can either look at online hosting with email support or for local testing, install a test mail server.
There is a bit about non mac OS's at the end. I've had some luck with this in the past.
If your on windows, this is probably better: http://www.toolheap.com/test-mail-server-tool/
Your headers need to contain proper headers.
Using only From: My website stands at going to Spam.
Using an Email => From: $email\r\n will work better.
Give this a try, tested.
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$to = 'your_email#somewhere.com';
$subject = 'My contact form message';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
if(empty($email)) {
die("Something went wrong, go back and try again!");
}
elseif (isset($_POST['email'])) {
mail($to,$email,$body,$headers);
echo "<p>Your message has been sent!</p>";
}
?>
1 . To made work this code.you should send your mail from any domain.
for example: you should have a live website thru that domain email id only send mail to
others
2 . use PHP-MAILER coding for sending mail.just download from net and make changes and use
I recently got some help in another topic and was able to receive an email from my contact form, but all of the information save for the message text was excluded, and it was sent from "Apache". Is there any reason this might be happening?
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "______#gmail.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
$to ='______#gmail.com';
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've received your information, thank you"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information, thank you";
}
else {
echo "Error, please try again";
} }
?>
<form action = "../mail.php"method="POST">
<p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
<p>Company</p> <input type="text" name="company">
<p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
<p>Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone">
<p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
Wrong variable name you have used.
Please change the last param of the mail call from $header to $mailHeader
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
to
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$mailHeader);
Append all information what you need before sending. Use the below code,
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$messageContent = $name."\n".$company."\n".$email."\n".$phone."\n".$message."\n";
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$messageContent,$mailHeader);
Edit this
send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
to
send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$mailheader);
and you can also send like this
send_contact = main($to,$subject,$formcontact,$mailheader);
if you want...and
sending mail in php is not a one-step process. mail() returns true/false, but even if it returns true, it doesn't mean the message is going to be sent. all mail() does is add the message to the queue(using sendmail or whatever you set in php.ini)
there is no reliable way to check if the message has been sent in php. you will have to look through the mail server logs.
I have a simple php form for contact purposes. However, it won't send the email or go to the correct page after submit. It redirects to the mail.php instead.
My contact form named contact.php is as follows:
<form id="contact-form" action="mail.php" method="POST">
<fieldset>
<label><span class="text-form">Your Name:</span> <input type="text" name="name"></label>
<label><span class="text-form">Your Email:</span><input type="text" name="email"></label>
<label><span class="text-form">Your Contact No:</span><input type="text" name="contact"></label>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="text-form">Your Message:</div>
<textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<div class="clear">
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<a class="button" href="#"><input class="button" type="submit" value="Send"></a>
<a class="button" href="#"><input class="button" type="reset" value="Clear"></a>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
And the php code named mail.php is as follows:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
&contact = $_POST['contact'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "info#whatever.co.za";
$subject = "Contact form message";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header("Location:contact.php");
?>
What am i doing wrong. It just wont send the message to email or redirect to the correct page??
Your syntax is ever so slightly wrong. &contact on line 5 should be $contact. I assume you're on a production server, so error reporting would be disabled and you wouldn't get any warnings.
Try using # before mail function
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$contact = $_POST['contact'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "info#whatever.co.za";
$subject = "Contact form message";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
#mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header("location: contact.php");
?>
this will let you pass even if mail function produce any issue. Also please check if there are any other header are not sent using http://php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php function.
I would strongly suggest to use PHPMailer or some other class to send any kind of email.
Please check the contact.php file whether some redirection is happening from contact.php to mail.php
I think there may be an issue sending mail from your server. The mail.php file is probably tripping up on the mail function and not doing the redirect.
Create a new file with just the php mail function in there (with your email address and a test message) and browse it from your web browser, does it send?
Try to use ob_start() at the start of script, and exit(); after header("Location: contact.php");
smth like this ...
<?php
ob_start();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
&contact = $_POST['contact'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "info#whatever.co.za";
$subject = "Contact form message";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
header("Location: contact.php");
exit();
?>
Change the mail.php to the following:
<?php
mail("info#whatever.co.za", "Contact form message", $_POST['message'], "From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">");
header("Location: contact.php");
?>
