You are not putting the $headers variable into the mail() function call, so your email either has no From: address or it is using the default From: address that is set in the php.ini. This limits who your sending mail server will send to and which receiving mail servers will accept the email.

 

Once you correct the code so that $headers is used in the mail() function call, it should work better.

Big chances that you can find your messages in the SPAM folder in your Gmail/Yahoo account. If putting headers (as suggested by PFMaBiSmAd)  not help - it is likely that your server's IP is blacklisted, and you'll need to investigate and resolve this with your hosting provider.

 

As for headers, here is how to do this:

 

    $headers ="MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers.="Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n";
    $headers.="Content-transfer-encoding: 8Bit\n";
    $headers.="Return-Path: <[email protected]>\n";
    $headers.="Message-ID: <".time()."[email protected]>\n";
    $headers.="From: [email protected]\n";
    $headers.="Reply-To: [email protected]\n";

    if(!mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){
      return false;
    }
    else{
      return true;
    }

 

Replace [email protected] to your email address.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

The documentation shows where $header would be used in the mail statement - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

See above in my edited post, or mail() function syntax.

 

You have:

mail($to, $subject, $body);

 

Must be:

mail($to, $subject, $body,$header);

i try that no luck ?????

 

i tried mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);  and mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);

$response = "Thank you!";

$_POST['response'] = $response;

 

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "UK Scrap Cars Form";

 

$name = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$company = $_POST['company'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

$headers  = "From: 3DDream.Net | Contact Form<[email protected]> \n";

$headers  .= "Reply-To: {$email}";

 

 

$error = false;

if(strlen($name) == 0) $error = "Empty name";

if(strlen($email) == 0) $error = "Empty email";

if(strlen($company) == 0) $error = "Empty company";

if(strlen($message) == 0) $error = "Empty message";

 

$body = "From: $name\n Email: $email\n Company: $company\n Message: $message\n";

mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

 

}

?>

still i cannot make it work.. any help please?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Check if there are any php errors reported. Add the following two lines of code immediately after the first opening <?php tag -

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

[3ddream]

the only error i am getting is for the responce command

Notice: Undefined variable: response in /contact.php  on line 139

 

but still the form doesnt work

 

can someone help me please ? have tried so many times
