So I'm new to php and i grabbed this script off google, I really like it since it's simple and it has the ability to send an attachment. The only problem is it isn't getting sent to me when I submit the form. Can anyone figure out why? It would help me out so much!

 

I filled in my email in the $emailto; variable, I can't figure out why it won't work :(.

 

<?php
//*****************************************SETTINGS START***************************************************************
//
//Set your email to address, this is the email address which you would all emails sent from this form to go to

$nosubject     = 'You must fill in a message subject.';
$nomessage     = 'You must enter a message.';
$waiting       = 'Please wait while your message is sent.';
$botcheckmessage = 'You incorrectly answered the anti-spam question.';
$possiblehackattempt = 'A possible hack attempt has been detected, please check your entered data and try again.';
$invalidfiletype = 'We do not accept this type of file.  We can only accept files of type: PDF, PHP, ZIP';
//
//Set the success message you would like to appear when a message has been correctly sent
$ok			  = 'Your message has been successfully sent.';

hehe, that's my script!  I wrote this, you grabbed it from the Themeforest forums right?

 

Are you running this from a hosting account or from your own local box?  Also, have you checked your SPAM folder?

 

Also, you seem to have commented out the following lines:

 

//"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
//              " filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .

 

Change it to:

 

"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
              " filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .

 

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Hey looks like it does work now, the email just got delayed a couple minutes. So either I fixed it by uncommenting that line, or what I did was upload the script and files into my root directory, instead of some folder. Example:

 

It was in www.moochcafe.info/mailerr/mailer.php

Then I moved it to www.moochcafe.info/mailer.php

 

Does it matter?

 

Thanks so much for the fast reply! Your awesome.

lol haha! Yeah i got it from Theme Forest haha... I've been searching for a script like this but couldn't find a descent one, then I found this one but I just can't get it to work.

 

I didn't comment that out actually, but I just uncommented it and it still doesn't work. I'm running it from a hosting account, here is my test address I uploaded it to. www.moochcafe.info/mailer.php

 

Yes I checked my spam folder and the email provider is Gmail which usually receives every single email. Any other ideas?

Hi supwd,

 

I've just downloaded the file again from ThemeForest and it works for me, I've just removed a variable that didn't need to be in there though (although that shouldn't have made a difference)

 

Try this code:

 

<?php
//*****************************************SETTINGS START***************************************************************
//
//Set your email to address, this is the email address which you would all emails sent from this form to go to
$emailto    = you@youremail.com';

//formatted email address, an empty subject and an empty message body
$noname	  	   = 'You must fill in your name.';
$noemail	   = 'You must fill in an email address to send to.';
$wrongemail    = 'The email address your entered appears to be invalid.';
$blacklisted   = 'Your email address has been blacklisted.';	
$nosubject     = 'You must fill in a message subject.';
$nomessage     = 'You must enter a message.';
$waiting       = 'Please wait while your message is sent.';
$botcheckmessage = 'You incorrectly answered the anti-spam question.';
$possiblehackattempt = 'A possible hack attempt has been detected, please check your entered data and try again.';
$invalidfiletype = 'We do not accept this type of file.  We can only accept files of type: PDF, PHP, ZIP';
//
