Emailing submited form data

[fpdan]

I don't know what the issue is with my code here. When the form data from page 1 is submited to page 2, all the correct information from page 1 shows up on page2 but it doesn't email. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have also attached both page 1 and page 2. Here's what I have on page 2:

echo "<p><b>".$_POST["First_Name"]."</b>, here is your configured Canyon Bay!</p>";
echo "<p>We have sent this info to your email address at: <b>".$_POST["EmailFrom"]."</b>.</p>";
echo "<p>You configured a <strong>Canyon Bay 2475</strong></p>";

Many (most?) mail servers require that the From email header be a valid email account on that server (in order to prevent spammers from using the host as a relayer). Therefore you may need to set that header to one of your active email addresses on that server. You can still set the Reply-To header to any email address.

Also, you should not put unfiltered POST data directly into those header fields, as this leaves your form open to hijacking by spammers. The quick-and-dirty fix for this is to not allow any newlines and/or carriage returns in those items (and don't depend on your form or any JavaScript validation; you must check this on the server side as spammers could care less what client-side validation you do).

Thanks for the quick reply. I changed the mailheader to an email address to one that is on the server the site is hosted and still it will not email. This is so odd...it was working just the other day.

//set up the mail 
$recipient = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "Canyon Bay Configuration"; 
$mailheaders .= "From: My Web Site <[e-mail]> \n"; 
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["[e-mail]"];

Any other thoughts?

Can you check the return value of the mail() command to see if is succeeding or failing? E.g.:

if(mail(blah...blah...blah))
{
   echo "As far as PHP knows, it worked. If the mail was not received, check for failed email notification in the sender's mailbox, or if the message ended up in the recipient's spam folder.";
}
else
{
   echo "mail() returned false, check error log for any info";
}
