PHP Email Form

[Hunter94]

Ok well here is the PHP Email Form I'm using.

 

HTML Code:

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
  Email: <input name="email" type="text" /><br />
  Message:<br />
  <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40">
  </textarea><br />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

 

PHP Code:

<?php
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( "yourname@example.com", "Feedback Form Results",
    $message, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" );
?>

 

When I change every thing to my Info it doesn't send anything to my email and when I click Submit Query it just redirects me to the PHP Code.

 

NOTE: I haven't put it on the internet so I'm not sure if that's the problem or not.

 

 

Thank You

the only reason the page displays PHP code, is that the web server is not set up with PHP and it does not understand that it has to parse .php page as PHP files.

K, thank you for telling me that. But do you know why it won't send me an email?

[samshel]

sending email code is in PHP, for sending email the PHP code must be executed. Your webserver does not how to execute PHP. Please compile your webserver with PHP and try.

yeah, the guy above me is right.

 

it's probably not because your server doesn't have PHP installed; most likely cause is PHP mail is just restricting on your server. Are you on shared server by chance?

Ok, I got it to work. All I had to do is stick on a webhost.
