Problem with form handling script

madmark33 · January 12, 2009

I'm new to PHP and am trying to use it to forward completed forms from a website I am designing. My problem is that for some reason I am not receiving the emails that are supposed to be forwarded by my script. I will post all the code below so that you can see what I've done. I added an email error check just to make sure the emails are being succesfully forwarded and so far I am receiving success messages, but then when I check my inbox I have not received any emails. I am hosting the website through Godaddy.com and they are supposed to support PHP so I don't understand why I am not receiving the emails. I think there may b e something wrong with my code but my knowledge is very limited so I figured it would be best to ask some people who know better than I do. Here is the code. Any help would be appreciated. Don't be afraid to blast my code, I'm new to this and I'm sure it's not pretty but I appreciate constructive criticism. Thanks!

It makes helping you easier if you use code tags then we can read the code easier

madmark33 · January 12, 2009

Sorry, as I said, I'm very new to PHP. So i'm getting the emails now, but none of the information from the form is being filed in in the email. Any ideas as to why??

madmark33 · January 12, 2009

Nevermind, I figured it out after staring at it for a while. I put the wrong variable names in. I knew it was some dumb mistake. All works as expected now.
