PHP Mailler Script (Need Help)

[btsolutions]

I am in need of some help on a php mailer script, here is what I have. Everything is working in regards to detecting errors and echoing a response on submission. However, I am not receiving an email once it has been submitted.

 

I am rather to new to the realm of php mailers and could use some help.

 

 

<?php

 

$name = trim($_POST['name']);

$email = $_POST['email'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

 

if (strlen($name) < 2) {

$error['name'] = "Please enter your name";

}

 

if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9&\'\.\-_\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)*+[a-z]{2}/is', $email)) {

$error['email'] = "Please enter a valid email address";

}

 

if (strlen($comments) < 3) {

$error['comments'] = "Please leave a comment.";

}

 

if (!$error) {

 

                $mail->$to = "[email protected]"; // Your email address to send to

$mail->From = $email;

$mail->FromName = $name;

$mail->Subject = "Contact Form Submission";

$mail->Body = $comments;

 

echo "<li class='success'> Thanks, " . $name . ". We've received your email. We'll be in touch as soon as we possibly can! </li>";

 

} # end if no error

else {

 

$response = (isset($error['name'])) ? "<li>" . $error['name'] . "</li> \n" : null;

$response .= (isset($error['email'])) ? "<li>" . $error['email'] . "</li> \n" : null;

$response .= (isset($error['comments'])) ? "<li>" . $error['comments'] . "</li>" : null;

 

echo $response;

} # end if there was an error sending

 

?>

is this all of your mailer code?? You dont seem to be telling php to send the email??

 

You will need to uses php's mail function, (see here for info)

 

   if (!$error) {
      
      $to = "[email protected]"; // Your email address to send to   
      $From = $email;
      $FromName = $name;
      $Subject = "Contact Form Submission";
      $Body = $comments;
	$headers = 'From: '.$from.'' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: '.$from.'' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

     if($t = mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)){
      echo "<li class='success'> Thanks, " . $name . ". We've received your email. We'll be in touch as soon as we possibly can! </li>";
      }else{
echo "<li>Unable to send E-mail</li><br />";
}
   } # end if no error
   else {

      $response = (isset($error['name'])) ? "<li>" . $error['name'] . "</li> \n" : null;
      $response .= (isset($error['email'])) ? "<li>" . $error['email'] . "</li> \n" : null;
      $response .= (isset($error['comments'])) ? "<li>" . $error['comments'] . "</li>" : null;
      
      echo $response;
   } # end if there was an error sending

The example above should now send any emails supplied to it,

 

 

Hope it helps
