and fix your IF/ELSE.... some problems there too. I tested to see if your vars are coming through, works fine, and goes through the ok.html

 

try

 

<?php
<?php
//Aquire Values
$EmailTo = "";
$Subject = trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
$Company = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company'])); 
$FirstName = trim(stripslashes($_POST['FirstName'])); 
$LastName = trim(stripslashes($_POST['LastName'])); 
$Email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Tel = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Address = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Address'])); 
$County = trim(stripslashes($_POST['County'])); 
$PostCode = trim(stripslashes($_POST['PostCode'])); 
$Message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 
$Anytime = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Anytime'])); 
$OfficeHours = trim(stripslashes($_POST['OfficeHours'])); 
$Evenings = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Evenings'])); 
$Weekends = trim(stripslashes($_POST['Weekends'])); 

// TEST YOUR VARS ARE PASSING THROUGH print_r($_POST);


// Feild Validation
$validationOK=true;
if (trim($FirstName)==""){ 

$validationOK=false;

}elseif(trim($LastName)=="") {

$validationOK=false;

}elseif (trim($Email)=="") {

$validationOK=false;

}elseif (trim($Message)=="") {

$validationOK=false;

}

if ($validationOK == false) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
  exit;
}else{

// Email Layout

$headers = "From: " . $Company ." ". $FirstName ." ". $LastName . "<" . $Email .">\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $Email . "\r\n";

$Body = "";
$Body .= "Company: ";
$Body .= $Company;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $FirstName;
$Body .= " ";
$Body .= $LastName;
$Body .= "\n\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Address: ";
$Body .= $Address;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "County: ";
$Body .= $County;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "PostCode: ";
$Body .= $PostCode;
$Body .= "\n\n";
$Body .= "Subject: ";
$Body .= $Subject;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n\n Please Contact me at:";
$Body .= "Anytime: ";
$Body .= $Anytime;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "OfficeHours: ";
$Body .= $OfficeHours;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Evenings: ";
$Body .= $Evenings;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Weekends: ";
$Body .= $Weekends;
$Body .= "\n";

// Send Email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// Redirect to success page 
if ($success){
}
else{
}

}
?>
?>

Thank you, is that what is stopping the client from recieving the email do you think? im going to try it out now.

 

 

yes the function will stop running because its not a function, but an alien character to PHP.

 

edit: I fixed my post, try that script
