I am new to programming and after a zillion hours working on this I am not getting any closer to a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a form that I am sending to php via ajax(although I don't see /process.php in the address bar after the domain name, or does that even matter?). The confirmation from php does load on the page but the email with the form values does not get sent. I work very hard at this, and I really do believe I'll get this stuff, but right now I am in need a little help. A live version can be viewed at http://www.hydrodyneh2o.com. Thanks in advance.
$(document).ready(function(){
//Script for "Submit" button to submit and load 'submission confirmation'
$('#hydrodyne-form input[type="submit"]').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//alert("never!");
$('#hydrodyne-form .warn').remove();
var fields = $('#hydrodyne-form').serializeArray();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'processForm.php',
data : fields,
dataType : 'json',
success: function(data) {
if (data.error) {
$.each(data.fields, function(k, v) {
$('.' + k).append('<span class="warn">' + v + '</span>');
$('.warn').fadeIn(700);
});
} else {
$('#form-content').fadeOut(700, function() {
$(this).hide();
$('#form-content').addClass('processing').html('Processing...').fadeIn(400);
$('#form-content').delay(1300).fadeOut(700).hide(function(){
$(this).removeClass('processing').html(data.confirm).fadeIn(400);
});
});
}
},
error: function(data) {
$('#form-content').hide().html('<p id="error" class="italic inside-text">*Error occurred</p>').fadeIn(700);
}
});
return false;
});
});

According to the pHp documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#example-3381 you can add a header to the mail();
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "
" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
// PROCESS FORM
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) or die('not working!!!');
Also you should check the following line as I guess there is a invalid character which can create any unwanted pHp Warnings/errors;
$service_type = implode(",
• ",$service);
it should be:
$service_type = implode(",
",$service);
Thank you Nouphal.M! Man, I spent a lot of time searching for a solution when all I needed to do was check my spam. I really appreciate your time and efforts everyone!
