Greetings Fellow PHPFreaks!
LovableCodeMan here - newbie to this forum an pretty new to this PHP thing that all these youngsters are raving about - who knew?!
Anyway, so I have an HTML form set up with a PHP document attached in order to send the data from the form to an email -a pretty basic setup by todays standards.
In the PHP document, you can see that there is a section for the user (
[email protected]) to submit the information in the form to us & is sent to our email address "
[email protected]". The bottom segment is to send a confirmation email back to the sender - to "
[email protected]" - as a thank you and a "We will get back to you ASAP" etc etc etc.
The confirmation email sent to the
[email protected] works flawlessly when pressing the "Send Your Message" button, but then I just see "https://www.xyz.com/scripts/mail.php" in the address bar and no email is received by
[email protected] - aka "Us".
This is the PHP document - confidential information redacted & the "
[email protected]" & "
[email protected]" replace the real email addresses.
<!doctype html>
<?php
$title = $_POST['title'];
$first = $_POST['first'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$email = $_POST['email']; <!-------

$userMessage = $_POST['userMessage'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$Industrytype = $_POST['Industrytype'];
$inc_status = $_POST['inc_status'];
$state = ['state'];
$email_from = "$first $surname <smtp server login>";
$Password = 'smtp server password';
$email_subject = "Website Enquiry from $first $surname";
$messageTo = "
[email protected]";
$email_body =
"User title: $title. \n".
"The department this message is for is: $department.\n".
