Hi guys,
I am new and motivated to learn. I recently downloaded a template and I am yanking hair, trying to get this form to work.
I have followed this tutorial at http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/custom-php-contact-forms/, and still no luck, keep getting a syntax error where the
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
?>
thanks guys
You didn’t post your form - did you include the data attributes on the fields?
“data-cfemail”
Otherwise, you could put some line breaks in the javascript to get a more specific location for the syntax error.
Check if you have created your PHP contact form script correctly or not. The contact form script should look something like this:
<?php
require_once("config.php");
if((isset($_POST['your_name'])&& $_POST['your_name'] !='') && (isset($_POST['your_email'])&& $_POST['your_email'] !=''))
{
require_once("contact_mail.php<strong>");
</strong>
$yourName = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['your_name']);
$yourEmail = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['your_email']);
$yourPhone = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['your_phone']);
$comments = $conn->real_escape_string($_POST['comments']);
$sql="INSERT INTO contact_form_info (name, email, phone, comments) VALUES ('".$yourName."','".$yourEmail."', '".$yourPhone."', '".$comments."')";
if(!$result = $conn->query($sql)){
die('There was an error running the query [' . $conn->error . ']');
}
else
{
echo "Thank you! We will contact you soon";
}
}
else
{
echo "Please fill Name and Email";
}
?>
You can follow this guide here on php contact form. It is working.
