I am using this form code in html to make a contact form on my website:
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
<p>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send message" />
</p>
</form>
This is the php code that I'm using to get the contact form sent to my email address:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
// Prepare the email
$to = 'someone@example.com';
$subject = 'Message sent from website';
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Send it
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
if($sent) {
echo 'Your message has been sent successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Sorry, your message could not send.';
}
}
?>
I cannot get it to send to my email address. I've made it live to try it but it still doesn't work and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. How can I get the user the send the email to my email address - have it sent to my email address so that I can see the message in my email? (Please help)
Your code checks out. The only thing (or one of possibly other unknown factors at this time) I can see that could affect it is, that you don't have a From: in your mail headers which may be ignored or sent to Spam; this is entirely possible and I have seen it happen before.
Try the following with added header for From: and the person who sent it.
(Tested on my hosted server, and sent to Inbox)
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
// Prepare the email
$to = 'someone@example.com';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mail_from = $_POST['email'];
$subject = 'Message sent from website';
$message = $_POST['message'];
$header = "From: $name <$mail_from>";
// Send it
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
if($sent) {
echo 'Your message has been sent successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Sorry, your message could not send.';
}
}
?>
This code Work 100% Try this code in PHP. Then upload it in your hosting site. Because email does not work on local. So you need to upload it. Happy Coding.!!!
