[Contact Form Not Sending Emails]

Then your host does not have a working MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) you can use, and thus you're unable to send e-mails via the mail () function.

As for the functions listed above that you didn't understand, the PHP manual is a great resource for explaining them.

 

I recommend, first and foremost, to read up on the basics of PHP. Having the basic knowledge in place will allow you to better understand what you're working on, and thus have a better chance at making something work.

Once you've done that, I strongly recommend that you dismiss the script above, as it's seriously outdated and insecure. Instead you should take a look at PHPmailer, and use it for your contact script.

 

Lastly, if you can't get that to work, then you need to change hosts.

 

PS: Please use the

tags around your code, as it helps make both your post and your code a lot easier to read.

 

Thanks man. I'll get to reading and check out PHPmailer. Great resources. Cheers.

Soo....

I was referring to ereg and preg_match

Before we go any further, let's make sure this is a code problem and not a server problem. Create a new .php file and put only the following in to it:

<?php

if (mail("seanmcpeak@comcast.net", "This is a test", "This is a test")) {
echo 'success';
} else {
echo 'fail';
}

 

Make sure the "seanmcpeak@comcast.net" is where you want the test to be sent.

 

Run the script on your GoDaddy server. If you get "success", make sure the mail is delivered. If it was, then we know it is a problem in your code above. If not, then something on the server is not configured properly.

 

No email and the page displayed 'fail'

Thanks for your help guys, but you're way over my head.

I don't understand. It came with a template. Its on a linux hosting account with GoDaddy running php 5.2

[Contact Form Not Sending Emails]

I have a simple php contact form:

http://brand32.com/clients/dark_water_media/Dark/contact.html

 

Upon clicking "Send" the message displays "Your message has been sent successfully!" but no email is received. I've changed the email in the code multiple times, but the same result (or lack thereof).

 

Here is the php code:

 

<?php

 

$receiverMail

= "seanmcpeak@comcast.net"; /* Your email */

 

 

$name

= ltrim(rtrim(strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['name']))));

 

$email

= ltrim(rtrim(strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['email']))));

 

$website

= ltrim(rtrim(strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['website']))));

 

$msg

= ltrim(rtrim(strip_tags($_POST['msg'])));

 

$subject = $name ." - ".$website;

 

$ip

= getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

 

$msgformat

= "From: $name ($ip)\nEmail: $email\n\n$msg"; /* MSG format */

 

 

 

// VALIDATION

 

if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($website) || empty($msg)) {

 

 

echo "<div id='status' class='error'>The email was not sent. Please fill all the required fields</div>";

 

}

 

elseif(!ereg("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)) {

 

 

echo "<div id='status' class='error'>The email was not sent. The email address is invalid</div>";

 

}

 

else {

 

 

mail($receiverMail, $subject, $msgformat, "From: $name <$email>");

 

 

echo "<div id='status' class='ok'>Your message has been sent successfully!</div"; }

 

?>

 

 

Thanks in advance.
