Try adding the header information:

 

<?

$email_address = "testemail@testemail.com";

$email_from = "system@testemail.com";

 

//change to the proper email address

 

$message = "Comments / Suggestions\n\nName: ". $user_name ."\nEmail: ". $email_address ."\n\nMessage:\n\n". $email_message;

 

$header_info = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";                

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

$header_info .= "From: ".$email_from;

 

mail($email_address, "Message from: " . $user_name ." - Comments / Suggestions", $message, $header_info);

 

// echo "Thank you, <B>". $user_name . "</B> we have recieved your message and will contact you soon.";

 

header('Location: contact-us-thanks.htm');

?>

[souki]

hey thanks for trying, but that didnt work either T.T , anymore suggestions? ty!

Try making it simple first.  Remove all the variables you are sending and just do a basic email with a Hi as the $message.

[souki]

hi revraz, ive tried that, still blank

[fanfavorite]

Copy this exactly and just change the two email address.   

 

$msg_body = "This is just a test"; 

$header_info = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";                

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

$header_info .= "From: Test User<system@testemail.com>";

$subject = "Testing Email";

$recemail = "testemail@testemail.com";

               

if (mail($recemail, $subject, $msg_body, $header_info)) {

$message = "Your message has been sent.  We will contact you as soon as we can.";

}else{

      $message = "There was an error while processing your request.  Please contact us by phone if you see this error.";

}

 

echo $message

[souki]

i tried this, but when i click enter, for the message to be sent, it just refreshes the page with the php code on the page alone, help please?

Are you saying that your script outputted this to the web browser?

 

$msg_body = "This is just a test";           
$header_info = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";                               
$header_info .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";                               
$header_info .= "From: Test User<system@testemail.com>";
$subject = "Testing Email";
$recemail = "testemail@testemail.com";            
                               
if (mail($recemail, $subject, $msg_body, $header_info)) {
   $message = "Your message has been sent.  We will contact you as soon as we can.";
}else{
          $message = "There was an error while processing your request.  Please contact us by phone if you see this error.";
}

echo $message

 

If that's the case, you did surround this in php tags and saved it to a webserver which has PHP4/5 running on it?

[souki]

yes that seems to be the case, is that an issue?

[fanfavorite]

lol ok, well you need to surround the PHP with <? and ?>

 

<?

$msg_body = "This is just a test";         

$header_info = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";                             

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

$header_info .= "From: Test User<system@testemail.com>";

$subject = "Testing Email";

$recemail = "testemail@testemail.com";           

                             

if (mail($recemail, $subject, $msg_body, $header_info)) {

  $message = "Your message has been sent.  We will contact you as soon as we can.";

}else{

          $message = "There was an error while processing your request.  Please contact us by phone if you see this error.";

}

 

echo $message

?>

ROFL...

 

Yes souki you need wrap all php code in php tags or else the code will not be interpreted as php code

 

Please let us know how you get on.

[souki]

hey , i think we are getting somewhere, but whenever i test it by sending a message, all i get it "this is a test message", how do i recieve what is actually written? thanks!, and also the subject also says "test".

 

 

ty !

[Cep]

I am failing to understand what you mean if you received the "this is a test message" then you have received the email from the code.

 

What you now need to do is customise the code and change the data within the variables $msg_body for the email body text, $subject to whatever title you want the email to be sent with and to thirdly change the header info for the FROM address to whatever you need.

sorry, i fell soo dumb, cep will you be able to contact me via MSN , and setup the script for me on the server please? ty!
