php form email

[jharrisonweb]

Hey all

I'm having trouble getting a form to email me when it's submitted. the url is HarrisonAndSonsConstruction.net/contact.html

I have a form in the footer that works and I copied most of the code, changing names. I'm not sure why its not working. It will send me an email, but it seems like the variables aren't being loaded, I'm just getting a blank email.

 

This is the form html

 

<form action="contact.php" id='contContact' class='container'>

<section class='col-1-3 module'>

<input type="text" name="conName" id="conName" placeholder="Name:">

<input type="email" name="conEmail" id="conEmail" placeholder="Email:">

<input type="phone" name="conPhone" id="conPhone" placeholder="Phone:">

<br><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Send" id="submit">

</section>

<section class='col-1-3 module'>

<textarea name="conEssay" id="conEssay" placeholder="Message:"></textarea>

</section>

<section class='col-1-3 last module'>

<h3>Address</h3>

<h5>Oswego, IL</h5>

<h3>Phone</h3>

<h5>(331)454-6044</h5>

<h3>Email</h3>

<h5>[email protected]</h5>

</section>

</form>

 

And the php

 

<?php

  $conName_field = $_POST['conName'];

  $conEmail_field = $_POST['conEmail'];

  $conPhone_field = $_POST['conPhone'];

  $conMessage = $_POST['#conEssay'];

    $email_to = '[email protected]';

    $subject = 'Message from OswegoBasementRemodeling.com '.$conName_field;

$Header = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 

    $Header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 

    $header .= 'From: '.$conEmail_field."\r\n";

    $header .= 'Reply-To: '.$conEmail_field."\r\n";

    $body = 'From: '.$conName_field."\n";

    $body .= 'Email: '.$conEmail_field."\n";

    $body .= 'Phone: '.$conPhone_field."\n";

    $body .= 'Message: '.$conMessage."\n";

 

    

    $mail_status = mail($email_to, $subject, $body, $headers);

    

    

  if ($mail_status) { ?>

      <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

          alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');

          window.location = 'index.html';

      </script>

  <?php

  }

  else { ?>

      <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

          // Print a message

          alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to [email protected]');

          // Redirect to some page of the site. You can also specify full URL, e.g. http://template-help.com

          window.location = 'index.html';

      </script>

  <?php

  }

?>

 

 

 Any help would be much appreciated

your form tag doesn't have a method attribute and the default when a method isn't specified is to use the get method.

what mac_gyver is telling you is that you should change your first line (the <form> element) to include a sending method like this:

 

<form action="contact.php" id='contContact' class='container' method="POST">

 

hope this helps

That did it. I knew it was going to be something simple that I should have seen. You saved me hours and smashing my face into the keyboard, thank you very much
