Contact Form HELP!

[samtruss1986]

Hi all, firstly thank you in advance to anyone who replies to this thread. I'll be honest I'm a newbie when I comes to PHP and really am a long way to mastering it. If someone could have a look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong here then it would be a great help.

 

The problem here is, when I click on the submit button it sends me to the PHP script page and doesn't actually send a email to the address. 

 

Please Help and again, thank you in advance.

 

Below is the HTML,

 

<section>

    <div class="container">

    <div class="row">

      <div class="col-lg-2 col-lg-offset-5">

$about = $_POST['about'];

$query = $_POST['message'];

$email_from = $name.'<'.$email.'>';

 

 $to="info@abbertoncricket.co.uk";

 $subject="Message from abbertoncricket website";

 $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

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

 $headers .= "From: ".$email_from."\r\n";

 $message="

  <br>

  The subject title for my message is $about   

         <br>

         My message is $query 

         <br>

         If you need to contact me further about this matter then please contact me via my email address below

         $email

         $name

      

   ";

if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))

header("Location:../../index.html?msg=Successful Submission! Thankyou for contacting us.");

else

header("Location:../contact.html?msg=Error To send Email !");

 }

?>

 

Again, thankyou for your help.

Sorry for the wasted thread, I seem to have sorted the problem out by adding

 

" name="submit"  " to my html mark up,

 

Feel free to use the code as it fully works, just please change the email address to the one you want it sent to and not my one!

 

The incorrect HTML

 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-skin pull-right" id="btnContactUs">

                            Send Your Message</button>

The correct HTML

 <button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-skin pull-right" id="btnContactUs">

                            Send Your Message</button>

 

If anyone can still make the code better or stronger then your help would be appreciated!

 

Cheers
