Email PHP Form Help - Please:)

system · October 21, 2011, 9:12pm

Hi,

I am having some trouble with my php code for my email form. When I submit the form, I get no email in return. Or when I hit the submit the form blank, no error page comes up stating what should be required to be completed. Is there anyway someone could take a look at it and offer any type of assistance? I’d appreciate it a lot.

Thanks so much in advance.

My form coding for the html page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<title>
Business Card Form

<meta charset="utf-8">

<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/structure.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/form.css" type="text/css" />

<!-- JavaScript -->

This line in your html code looking strange… mistype?

<input id="Field11" name="Field11" type="email" spellcheck="false" class="field text medium" value="" maxlength="255" tabindex="6" required />

Must be type=“text” name=“email”

Otherwise, this condition in your php code will never be true:
[php]if(isset($_POST[‘email’])) {[/php]

That is one of the reasons that I started using PHP code generators, i dont want to lose time doing this type of thing anymore.

In my case, i use scriptcase, I can do this type of form + the access control of the inserted data in something like 10mins, if you dont use code generators i recomend you to take a look!
