Contact Page

Hello,

I just started coding last year, and in the last month have started to learn PHP. I’m trying to create a Contact Page on my website, but I’m missing something. I think I understand the error, but I don’t understand why the email isn’t being sent. Any help is very much appreciated.

SEND A MESSAGE

; SEND MAIL
<?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $name = $_POST['name']; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $mailFrom = $_POST['mail']; $message = $_POST['message'];
		$mailTo = "[email protected]";
		$headers = "From:  ".$mailFrom;
		$txt = "You have received an email from ".$name.".\n\n".$message;
	
		mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
		header("Location: index.php?mailsend");
	}
?>
</body>

very dangerous to use a mailer without sanitizing and checking for spam injection.
you seem to have the php code contained within the body of an html page.
the form cannot submit the data to this code in the html body.
separate the html from the contactform.php

  exit;

are you sure that you have an smtp server?
try the new approach with cleaned up code and a separate php page.
make sure that the “contactform.php” file contains the mail code that the html form submits.

hopefully you can make it work. I think that eventually, someone else will post here with better tips for you…
