After all the changes were made, the first time I hit the submit button I got the thank you page. See attached I ran it again and didn't get the thank you page, but did get the formTest.php with nothing on it. The form and the fields were blank but browser still had formTest.php in the url window. Client reports no email received

I corrected the variable 'if(!$mailSent){ } and now I at least get the error message 'Sorry your mail could not be sent' things are looking up but its still not sending, more hints please

my error_reporting settings in php.ini are ; error_reporting ; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED ; Development Value: E_ALL ; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT How do I set that to -1 Set display_errors to 'on'

I'm not sure why there is a syntax error in the above code. I'm a total newbie, a Photoshop and After Effects guy who does know some JavaScript and HTML but not php and I'm trying to do a website for great old 93 year old man.. When you say my conditionals could fail but I am not handling that I'm stumped. Also how do I turn errors on. I know its probably a really easy question but I don't know where to find the answer.

Several members of this forum recently helped me with a problem with my web host and i thank you. I have xampp on my machine and while testing my php pages everything works perfectly including my thank you page. However when I upload the pages to the server all the fields works correctly and even the error message for the email format runs but when I hit the submit button the form simply returns to its initial state where all fields are blank and the neither the warning...'Sorry your mail could not be sent' or the thank you page appear. I'm not sure if I have the correct code for the authenticate staement. Could someone help me with this problem.formTest.php mail_process.php thanks.php

I was abble to upload my php pages to an associates server who supports php 5. Everything worked perfectly including the email format validation. However when I clicked the submit button the page returned to the intitial format with blank fields in the form. When I test the pages on my xampp server on my machine and hit submit it brings up the thanks page. I know I don't have server side 'mail' capabilities but the page has code that should at least give me an error message 'Sorry your mail could not be sent.' I am not sure of the code to authenticate...... authenticate = '-fwalterhughes@hawaii.rr.com';. All who helped with the last problem with my web host, thank you. Could you help me with this final problem?formTest.phpmail_process.phpthanks.php

My web host is Siteserver. I have contacted them about the fact that PHP 5 was released in 2004 and they are still using PHP4. I might be looking for a new ISP

The info I gave is the output from my xampp on my machine. He is the test from my ISP Looks like you are right Siteserver is running PHP 4.4.8. What know?

Yes, see attached JPGs

Used <?php echo phpinfo();?> got a very large document with all kinds of info

PHP 5.5.28 I'm not sure how to access phpinfo output

I am attempting to write PHP to send form data to email. I completed a Lynda.com tutorial "Introducing PHP" by David Powers When I test the Pges on my machine with xampp installed, everything works. I have no mail function on my msachine so I uploaded to a folder on my website to test. I get the above error 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filter_input()' and the email format validation does not function. Can someone help me?formTest.phpmail_process.php
