How To Set Up A PHP Contact Form?

Question

Im trying to setup a php contact form.
I created a html and the php file the whole process works except for when i receive a message it only states the subject with no name,no email,no body.
I was told i have to put everything into one variable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

This is my PHP code


$name = $_post['name'];
$email = $_post['email'];
$comments = $_post['comments'];


//TO, Subject, Message, Header
mail('[e-mail]', 'Comments', $text, 'From: '.$name.' '.$email.'>');
header('Location: thankyou.html');
?>


This is my HTML

name


email


comments

Answer 1

Your parameters for the mail() function are incorrect.

Here is the corrected code: (removed blank lines before "header" as well)




$name = $_POST['name']; // POST upper case: I have (rarely) experimented some case sensitive.

$email = $_POST['email'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

//TO, Subject, Message, Header

$headers = "From: " . $email . "\r\n"; // EXACTLY as it is!

$subject = "Mail from " . $name;

$to = "[e-mail]";

mail ($to, $subject, $comments, $headers);

header('Location: thankyou.html');

?>

Answer 2

Take out the $headers from mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers); and see if the email sends without problem. if it does, put it back in and remove the spaces between the ' . "\r in the $headers function I think that you have some extra spaces in there and it is throwing off the escape characters \r\n

Answer 3

looks like you're missing a coma in the header area but post it on phpfreaks.com and you'll have the right answer ten times over. Good luck!

Answer 4

You are not assigning the $text variable. Try to use $comments instead.
