Hi guys,
Trying to get a PHP form mailer to work right, pretty much just a simple contact gatherer... I've gotten the code from someone else who doesn't provide support for any of it, and I've gotten it all to work except for the form actually sending me the email... When clicking the submit button, it redirects properly to the "Thanks for contacting us" page, but even now an hour later, still no email. Here is all of the code for the PHP on the page:
<?
#############################################################
// Contacter V 0.1 | by Gordon Mackay | http://gordonmac.com/
#############################################################
#############################################################
// set your own preferences here
#############################################################
// Your email address
$youremail = 'matthewlivengood@yahoo.com';
// Your web site title (John Doe's Site)
$websitetitle = 'LIFT Investor Site';
// Path to "thanks for the message" page
$thankyoupage = 'thankyou.php';
// Send notification to sender (use false if not required)
$sendnotification = false;
#############################################################
// Do not edit below this
#############################################################
$contact_form_action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if ((isset($_POST["sendcontact"])) && ($_POST["sendcontact"] == "contactsent")) {
$contacter_form_error = array();
if (empty($_POST['contact_name'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'please insert your name';
}
if (empty($_POST['contact_email'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'please insert your email address';
}
if (empty($_POST['contact_phone'])){
$contacter_form_error[] = 'please insert your phone number';
}
else {
$contact_name = stripslashes($_POST['contact_name']);
$contact_email = stripslashes($_POST['contact_email']);
$contact_comment = $contact_name." said:\n \"".stripslashes($_POST['contact_comment'])."\"\n";
$subjectline = "$websitetitle | A Message From $contact_name";
if(!empty($_POST['best_time'])) {
$contact_comment .= '(Best time to contact is: '.stripslashes($_POST['best_time']).')'."\n";
}
if(!empty($_POST['contact_phone'])) {
$contact_comment .= '(Phone number is: '.stripslashes($_POST['contact_phone']).')';
}
mail($youremail, $subjectline, $contact_comment, "From: $contact_email");
if($sendnotification == true) {
$notification_message = "Thank you for contacting $websitetitle, $contact_name. We have received your email and will be in touch shortly";
$notification_subject = "Thanks for your message to $websitetitle.";
mail($contact_email, $notification_subject, $notification_message, "From: $youremail");
}
header("Location:$thankyoupage");
}
}
?>

As I'm sure you can imagine, I'm a complete newbie to PHP... more HTML kinda guy, but trying to learn something new and if I can get the email to actually come to me, I'll be all set. Thanks in advance!
