mail form

Hello...I have a contact form on a downloaded CSS3/HTML5 responsive template. I installed a php script but it's not working and does not return a "thank you" or indication the message was received.

 

Can anyone help figure this out...it's a relatively simplistic form but I am out of my depth here...

 

PHP Code:

<?php
//vars
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$to = explode(',', $_POST['to'] );

$from = $_POST['email'];

//data
$msg = "NAME: "  .$_POST['name']    ."<br>\n";
$msg .= "EMAIL: "  .$_POST['email']    ."<br>\n";
$msg .= "SUBJECT: "  .$_POST['subject']    ."<br>\n";
$msg .= "COMMENTS: "  .$_POST['comments']    ."<br>\n";

//Headers
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <".$from. ">" ;


//send for each mail
foreach($to as $mail){
   mail($mail, $subject, $msg, $headers);
}

?>

and here's the HTML code:

<form method="post" action="mail.php">
									<div>
										<div class="row half">
											<div class="6u">
												<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" />
											</div>
											<div class="6u">
												<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email" />
											</div>
										</div>
										<div class="row half">
											<div class="12u">
												<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="Subject" />
											</div>
										</div>
										<div class="row half">
											<div class="12u">
												<textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
											</div>
										</div>
										<div class="row">
											<div class="12u">
												<a href="#" class="button form-button-submit">Send Message</a>
												<a href="#" class="button button-alt form-button-reset">Clear Form</a>
											</div>
										</div>
									</div>
								</form>

Thank you for your assistance...JKK

Good morning,

 

One error I initially see is the $_POST['comments'] should be $_POST['message'], although I don't think that will fix your problem.

 

Once you submit the form, is it the script above which runs initially? If so, why not check you are actually receiving the $_POST data by entering the following below (at the very top of your script, before everything else):

 

 

<?php
 
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
 
?>

 

That will tell you whether you are receiving the form data or not.

 

The reason you are not receiving any kind of message is because you don't actually print a message out.

 

You could check to see if the mail() function was successful in an if() statement like so:

 

if(!mail($mail,$subject, $msg, $headers))
{
//mail() was not successful
}
else
{
//mail() was successful, print a success message!
}

 

Hope this helps a little.

 

Kind regards,

 

L2c.
