PHP Contact Form

**lilycup** · 06:43 PM

Hey,

I have been using this code for probably over a year for contact forms and for some reason it is no longer working. I've tried it with two different hosting providers, and I'm still not receiving the emails. I'm not sure if I'm missing something small or not.

If someone could look over it for me that would be much appreciated, thank you!

Code:

My .php page:

<?php

if($_POST['name'] != "" & $_POST['email'] != "" & $_POST['phone'] != "" & $_POST['comments'] != ""){
    
$subject = "Inquiry";
$message .= "Name: {$_POST['name']} \n";
$message .= "Email: {$_POST['email']} \n";
$message .= "Phone: {$_POST['phone']} \n";
$message .= "Comments: {$_POST['comments']} \n";

$header="from: ".$_POST['name']." <".$mail_from.">";
$to ='my email address is usually here';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
}

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$privatekey = "key here";
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
"(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
}

?>

Try putting an email address like name@websitename in the from field

Code:

$header="From: name@websitename.com";

where websitename is the website where you have this script. Many servers reject emails if 'From' is not provided

I think the 'From' header should be like this to work properly

From: "Your Name" <your.name@domain.com>

So in php with variables it could be

PHP Code:


			
$header = "From: \"$name\" <$email>";

// or...

$header = 'From "' . $name . '" <' $email '>';

Hi,
I worked out on this problem.
Code seems to be correct.You can try by changing one of the field.
I think this will help you .Working on this and try to give the best solution.
Thanks.

If you can't find a solution then try using this contact form script (free). I've been using it for the past week and it works great:

If you send me the form, then I can create you script for free from a software and that is great.
