PHP blank page

[codefool]

Hi, I'm very new to php. i have a contact page form that calls a contact.php to deliver the information from the contact page to an email address. All of the info is passing correctly, but the php opens a blank page. How do i keep this blank page from opening?

The code is basic:

<?php

$mailTo = '[e-mail]';
$mailFrom = $POST['name'];
$subject = $POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

mail($mailTo, $subject, $message, "From: ".$mailFrom);
?>

any help is appreciated!

What you have here is a script that should work if all the input is correct, but it gives no feedback to the user. As a very basic version that does provide such feedback:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['subject'], $_POST['message']))
{
    $mailTo = '[e-mail]';
    $mailFrom = $_POST['name'];
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

if (mail($mailTo, $subject, $message, "From: " . $mailFrom))
{
    echo 'Mail sent!';
}
else
{
    echo 'Mail could not be sent.';
}
}
else
{
    echo 'The name, subject or message was not provided.'
}

Note that just because the mail is successfully sent does not mean that it will be successfully received. Furthermore, be careful that you do not allow your script to be used for spamming. (Hence you would have some form of access control and flood control.)

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The window not says 'Mail sent!' when i submit the form fields. However I don't want this page to pop up at all. How do I get it to not open this window?
