PHP mail form not sending mail

demosthenes705

Here is the code. My server does send mail. so it should work but im stupid and a newb w/ php so i have no idea

Contact:

<html>
<body>
<p>Just use it and send it</p>
<p>  <?php include('form.php') ?>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Contact Script:

<?php
// headers for the email listed below
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\n";  // your email client will show the person's email address like normal
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // sets the mime type
$recipient = "mooecow.three@blogger.com"; // enter YOUR email address here
$subject = "$subject1"; // this is the subject of the email
$msg = wordwrap( $msg, 1024 );
mail($recipient, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $headers); // the mail() function sends the message to you
//Once the data is entered, redirect the user to give them visual confirmation
   header("location: index.html");
?>

Form:

<form name="form" method="post" action="contactscript.php">
  <table width="400" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" summary="">
    <tr> 
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="right">Your Name: </td>
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="left"> <input type="text" name="name" size="25" maxlength="200" /> 
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="right">Subject::</td>
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="left"> <input type="text" name="subject1" size="25" maxlength="100" /> 
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="right">Your Comments: </td>
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="left"> <textarea name="msg" cols="25" rows="4"></textarea> 
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td width="200" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
      <td width="200" valign="top" align="left"> <input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset" /> 
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

What could be wrong with it?

and i don't get any errors it doesn't send the mail

first thoughts are register globals. that code assumes its turned on, but phps defaulted to it being off for over 2 years now.

search for
php register globals

basically, you need to define all the variables


$msg = $_POST['msg'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
// etc...

This is my first attempt at getting a form to send the data via email. I am not getting an error report at all.

Here is the php to process the script:

<?
$toaddress = "billy_martinez@wgresorts.com";
$subject ="Classified Ad Request" ;
$fName = $POST['fName'];
$lName = $POST['lName'];
$department = $POST['mainDepartment'];
$location = $POST['mainLocation'];
$email = $POST['mainEmail'];
$phone = $POST['phone'];
$extenstion = $POST['extension'];
$contactMe = $POST['contactMe'];
$adRun = $POST['adRun'];
$category = $POST['category'];
$adInfo = $POST['adInfo'];
$donate = $POST['dontate'];
$payMethod = $POST[''];
$svcAgree = $POST['svcAgree'];
$fromaddress = "The CFI Savings Center Classified Section";
mail($toaddress, $subject, lfName, $lName, $department, $location, $email, $phone, $extenstion, $contactMe, adRun, $category, $adInfo, $donate, $payMethod, $svcAgree, $fromaddress);
?>

I think that whatis really confusing is that there is no error messages popping up. I have tried using $REQUEST in place of $POST but its the same thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

php register globals are on

try this

<?php

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\n";  // your email client will show the person's email address like normal
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // sets the mime type
$recipient = "mooecow.three@blogger.com"; // enter YOUR email address here
$subject = "$subject1"; // this is the subject of the email
$msg = wordwrap( $msg, 1024 );

$result = mail($recipient, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $headers);

var_dump($result);

//    header("location: index.html"); 

?>

ps- i think its recomended to wrap email lines at less than 80 characters. your doing it at 1024. i would imagine 1024 would still work most of the time, but that could cause occasional problems.

i don't think it matters, im just blogging.

Notice: Undefined variable: headers in /home/mooecow/public_html/contactscript.php on line 6
bool(true) 
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mooecow/public_html/contactscript.php:6) in /home/mooecow/public_html/contactscript.php on line 16
