Help with Contact Code

[CTBC]

I have made a contact form and should send it. I cannot see why it doesn’t send it. The email address is right, i have tried 3 times and looked in junk/inbox and waited a while. But I don’t receive anything.
[php]

Contact Us <? if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "EDITED OUT"; $subject = $_POST['subject']; $name_field = $_POST['name']; $email_field = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; $body = "From: $name_fieldn E-Mail: $email_fieldn"; echo "Data has been submitted to $to!"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $body); } else { ?> Name:

Email:
Subject:

Message:

<?

}
?>

[/php]

Note: I get a message after submiting it saying Data has been submitted to EDITED OUT!

What’s the return value for the mail() function? Does it return false?

[CTBC]

No nothing comes back but “the data has been submitted to **************”

Does a mail account need to be set up that sends the email? I have no idea.

[Zyppora]

I certainly hope you’ve installed a mail program that handles the mail after PHP has spat it out through the mail() function (and no, Outlook is not suited for that). Try the following:

[php]
if (!mail($yourmail)) {
echo “Mail was NOT sent!”;
}
[/php]

[CTBC]

Warning: mail() expects at least 3 parameters, 1 given in /home/www/**************/contact.php on line 32
Mail was NOT sent!

is what i got.

I havent set up a mail program. I thought it was quite strange that it sent without anything sending it

Can you tell me how to do this or a tutorial on how to do it?

[Zyppora]

Nope, but Google can help you with tutorials. And that code wasn’t copy-paste-worthy. It was just to illustrate how to use the mail() function inside an if statement to validate its return value.
