I have a form that user's fill out and when click submit supposedly it would send me all his message to my email.

 

but there seems to be a problem and is not working as it should.  anyone have any clues as to why, please let me know.  thanks.

Also your code will always say sent as you don't check if mail was sucessful

change

mail($my_email, $subject, $message, $headers)

to

if(!mail($my_email, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
trigger_error("Email Failed!",  E_USER_WARNING);
//die("ERROR SENDING");
}

Ok, I changed what you guys said, and these are the two things I changed and is giving me an error message.  Failed.  Do you know why?

 

if(mail('myemailhere', 'My Subject', "Hello"))
{
echo "sent";
}else{
echo "failed";
}

$my_email = $_POST['my_emai herel'];

$my_email = $_POST['my_emai herel'];

 

your form has an input field with the name of "my_email"  and the form method is "post" so when I put

 

$my_email = $_POST['my_email'];

 

That's exactly how it should appear.  I assumed that that's how it should be, seeing as how the variable is coincidentally named the same as the form input field name, and you don't seem to be making use of that field anywhere else in your script... But you are saying you had your physical email there, so I'm going to *assume* that that wasn't the problem to begin with.... right?

To find out why the mail() function call failed (so that you can address the actual problem, rather than guessing), add the following two lines of code (for debugging purposes only, remove them later) immediately after your first opening <?php tag -

 

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Open your PHP.ini file and check the following

Code: [select]

[mail function]

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

 

SMTP should be the mail server and the smtp_port should be its port!

 

this is what I have in my php ini for these:

 

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

Code: [select]

ini_set("display_errors", "1");

error_reporting(E_ALL);

 

 

this is what I have after putting this code at beginning of <?php

 

Notice: Undefined index: myemail in C:\Apache\htdocs\FormToEmail.php on line 82

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Apache\htdocs\FormToEmail.php on line 196

failed
