Something like that.

thanks very much for your reply, I copy and pasted your code and nothing seemed to happen, i entered a test email address which is my own and it didnt seem to do anything ! thanks for your help again

Mm, it worked for me. (The echo came up). However, I cannot check if the email was sent correctly. Pretty sure what the problem is, if you didn't receive an email.

</select></td>

<tr><td>From(Email Address): </td>

<?php 
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
     $name = $_POST['name'];
     $to      = $_POST['email'];
     $subject = $_POST['subject'];
     $message = $_POST['query'];
     $from    = $_POST['emailfrom'];
     $headers = 'From:' . $name . '<' . $from . '>';
     
     mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
     
     echo 'Message sent';
}
?>

 

This works fine for me, I've tried it on my own email address on my server.

really sorry chum, but still nothing ! thanks alot again for your help.

Not sure what else to say, I received the emails when testing it. I also carried out some debugging by echoing the mail strings.

 

Are you sure you completed the entire form and didn't leave any blanks?

[soupy127]

getting this error

 

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:\wamp\www\Final\adminbookingform.php on line 88

Message sent 

 

think it might go away when i upload it to my website, hopefully that will fix the problem !

Yeah, it's WAMP that's the problem, you don't have a mailserver installed!

 

On a live webserver it will work fine.
