script help with a mail script

[zinctek]

Hello all

 

i have just made a script ( my first 1 ) and its the following code

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "support@backupclick.com"; 
$subject = "download client";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$telephonenumber = $_POST['telephonenumber'];
$hearaboutus = $_POST ['heardaboutus'];



foreach($_POST as $value) {
	$check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n";
}

$body = "
From: $name\n 
Email: $email1\n 
Email (check): $email2\n 
Telephone: $telephonenumber\n
Hear About Us: $heardaboutus\n

"

;

mail($to, $subject, $body);

}
header( 'Location: download1.html' );

 

now it redirects to download1.html but for some reason its not sending me the email could anyone help me and tell me why?

 

thank you

You have an if statement where  $_POST['submit'] has to be set or the script inside won't run. But since the header redirect is outside the statement it will alway redirect. Force the statement to be true to test it, or just temporally remove it.

Comment out "header( 'Location: download1.html' );" and test if mail works.

 

Also you have mail server running on your testing server right? if you are testing pages locally make sure you have mail service installed.
