Hello, I am new to this forum, and I am super desperate to get my problem fixed. I am also very new with PHP code.

 

I have a client I made a website for and she has an HTML form page for her customers to fill out, and the form is supposed to send to her email, but it is not. 

 

Some issues I have come along, but not resolved are: Setting up PHP on my computer? not sure how to do this; Someone told me that under <C:/inetpub> there is supposed to be a "sendmail" folder? I just recently made one, but im not sure if i did it correctly; Another issue could just be my PHP code.

 

Attached is my PHP page.

 

Thank you!

Change:

 

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 

To:

mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); 

 

See if you get errors. 

 

To do this right, you should be using something like PHPmailer -> http://http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php

I'll second that vote. PHPMailer is very reliable and maintained code that will assist you with many client needs down the road. As far as setting PHP up on your computer. Wamp or Xampp is the way to go. You'll have to remember to stop the Windows IIS server if your using a Windows machine when those are running or they will clash. http://www.wampserver.com/en/
