jesushax Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 try this XHTML strict option for your html and better formatting for your php HTML <form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> Your Name: <br /> <input type="text" name="YourName" /> Email: <br /> <input name="email" type="text"><br> Message: <br /> <textarea name="message"></textarea><br> <input type="submit"> </form> <?php $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "This is the subject of the email"; $message = " <html> <head> <title>HTML email</title> </head> <body>"; $message .= "Message From:"; $message .= $_POST["YourName"]; $message .= "Message:"; $message .= $_POST["message"]; $message .= "From: "; $message .= $_POST["email"]; $message .= " </body> </html> ";// Always set content-type when sending HTML email $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: <$email>' . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); header( "Location: http://www.markarma.com" ); exit(); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/154335-solved-fancy-a-simple-challenge/#findComment-811382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
markarma Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 THanks Jesushax but it isn't working, it doesn't give an error message but no message comes through? I dont understand how my basic code can work, yet adding a simple thing to it just stops it working ?
