Issues with displaying if else echo statement in contact page..

[NickP]

Here's the code, this is the PHP in my html contacts page (that IS in fact saved with a PHP extension): 
 

<div class = "centercontainer">

 

<form method="post" action="NickParkerPhotoContact.php">

<label class = "labelwithmargin">Email: [email protected]</label>

<label>Please use the form below:</label>

<br>

<label class = "labelwithmargin">Name*</label>

    <input name="name" placeholder="Type Here">

 

<label class = "labelwithmargin">Number</label>

    <input name="number" placeholder="Type Here">

            

    <label class = "labelwithmargin">Email*</label>

    <input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Type Here">

            

    <label class = "labelwithmargin">Message</label>

    <textarea name="message" placeholder="Type Here"></textarea>

           

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

 

<?php

if ($_POST['submit']) {

$name = $_POST['name'];

$number = $_POST['number'];

   $email = $_POST['email'];

   $message = $_POST['message'];

   $from = 'From: NickParkerPhoto website'; 

   $to = '[email protected]'; 

   $subject = 'Message from website';

 

   $body = "From: $name\n Number: $number\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";

   if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from))) { 

       echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';

   } else { 

       echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>'; 

     }

}

?>

</form>

And the issue is I keep seeing this in my web page, which means my code is not working with the submit button I created.. :



I'm a complete newby to PHP and have been learning it mostly just for this contact page, but learning that it is a server only-widely accepted language I'm pretty hyped to know anything about it... 

Thanks!

what URL did you enter in your browser's address bar for that page? if you are doing this on a localhost development system, it should have been something like - http:/localhost/yourpage.php

Yup. Using xampp..

Right off i see a mistake

 

change this:

if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from))) {

to this:

if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {

Besides that, obviously php is not parsing correctly, first make sure xampp is configured and working.
