Why php script not picking up data from contact form?

[ajay72]

I create html website for my client, in this website to check contact form is working or not I submit one test massage. I received mail but I didn't received massage or any data which I was added in contact form. Below I added both php & contact form code.

php code ( file name - sendemail.php)

<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
$status = array(
'type'=>'success',
'message'=>'Thank you for contact us. As early as possible we will contact you '
);

$name = @trim(stripslashes($_POST['name'])); 
$email = @trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); 
$subject = @trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject'])); 
$message = @trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); 

$email_from = $email;
$email_to = '[e-mail]';//replace with your email

$body = 'Name: ' . $name . "\n\n" . 'Email: ' . $email . "\n\n" . 'Subject: ' . $subject . "\n\n" . 'Message: ' . $message;

$success = @mail($email_to, $subject, $body, 'From: <'.$email_from.'>');

echo json_encode($status);
die;[/QUOTE]

Contact form code (file name - contact-us.html)

<form id="main-contact-form" class="contact-form" name="contact-form" method="post" action="sendemail.php">
<div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-1">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Name </label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="form-control" required="required">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email">Email </label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" class="form-control" required="required">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input type="number" name="phone" class="form-control">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="company_name">Company Name</label>
<input type="text" name="company_name" class="form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="subject">Subject </label>
<input type="text" name="subject" class="form-control" required="required">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="massage">Message </label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" required="required" class="form-control" rows="8"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" required="required">Submit Message</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Please let me know your suggestion...

Hmm, I don't see an obvious issue ... I assume everything is on the same domain?

Can you do this for the handler as a test?

<?php
//header('Content-type: application/json');
$status = array(
'type'=>'success',
'message'=>'Thank you for contact us. As early as possible we will contact you '
);


$name = trim(stripslashes($_POST['name'])); 
$email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); 
$subject = trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject'])); 
$message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); 

$email_from = $email;
$email_to = '[e-mail]';//replace with your email

$body = 'Name: ' . $name . "\n\n" . 'Email: ' . $email . "\n\n" . 'Subject: ' . $subject . "\n\n" . 'Message: ' . $message;

echo $body;

//$success = @mail($email_to, $subject, $body, 'From: <'.$email_from.'>');

//echo json_encode($status);
//die;
echo "Finished";

Note the "header" has been commented out and I've removed error suppression from your trim statements.

I added this code in sendemail.php file,
Now it shows Undefined, send mail is not working now

While debugging, I would recommend getting rid of all those "@" error-suppression operators, and adding this to the start of the file:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', true); // set to false when in production
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Then at least you'll see anything PHP would like to tell you is a problem.

Hi NogDog, I have added this two line in php code but not showing any error. When I click on submit button it shows thank you massage.
PHP CODE :

<?php

ini_set('display_errors', true); // set to false when in production
error_reporting(E_ALL);

header('Content-type: application/json');
$status = array(
'type'=>'success',
'message'=>'Thank you for contact us. As early as possible we will contact you '
);

$name = @trim(stripslashes($POST['name']));
$email = @trim(stripslashes($POST['email']));
$subject = @trim(stripslashes($POST['subject']));
$message = @trim(stripslashes($POST['message']));

$email_from = $email;
$email_to = '[e-mail]';//replace with your email

$body = 'Name: ' . $name . "\n\n" . 'Email: ' . $email . "\n\n" . 'Subject: ' . $subject . "\n\n" . 'Message: ' . $message;

$success = @mail($email_to, $subject, $body, 'From: <'.$email_from.'>');

echo json_encode($status);
die;

Please don't tell PHP to show your errors, then suppress all of them, and wonder why PHP doesn't show you any errors. My brain will explode and it might get all kinds of yucky goo all over your keyboard and mouse. 😉
