Why isnt this PHP Mailer for HTML Forms working? - php

Question

This is the PHP code:
<?PHP
$to = "adschweinfurth#gmail.com";
$subject = "New Finance Request";
$headers = "Request:";
$forward = 0;
$location = "";
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");
$msg = "Below is the request sent on $date at $time.\n\n";
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
else {
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}
}
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo "Thanks! Your request has been sent for approval and someone will be in contact with you soon!";
}
?>
This is the HTML code:
<form action="mailer.php" method="post">
<strong>Name:</strong><br />
<input type="text" name="Name" />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Email:</strong><br />
<input type="text" name="Email" />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Organization:</strong><br />
<input type="text" name="Org:" />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Amount:</strong><br />
<input type="text" name="Amount" />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Explain Request:</strong><br />
<textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="Message"></textarea>
<br />
<hr />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
I can not for the life of me get it to actually send the email. It goes to the thanks page, but I never receive any email...Let me know, comment below.

Put it up like this if email is really sent or if there is an error:
if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)){
// email sent
}
else {
echo 'some error occurred !';
}
