PHP help? - Jernu - 11.03.2013
Hey guys,
I'm having trouble with sending mail to Hotmail using the mail() function within PHP. (Yes, I've checked all the folders, inbox, spam, junk, deleted)
Here's the code for the contact.php
PHP код:
<form action="mail.php" method="POST">
<p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
<p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
<p>Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone">
<p>Request Phone Call:</p>
Yes:<input type="checkbox" value="Yes" name="call"><br />
No:<input type="checkbox" value="No" name="call"><br />
<p>Website</p> <input type="text" name="website">
<p>Priority</p>
<select name="priority" size="1">
<option value="Low">Low</option>
<option value="Normal">Normal</option>
<option value="High">High</option>
<option value="Emergency">Emergency</option>
</select>
<br />
<p>Type</p>
<select name="type" size="1">
<option value="update">Website Update</option>
<option value="change">Information Change</option>
<option value="addition">Information Addition</option>
<option value="new">New Products</option>
</select>
<br />
<p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send"><input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>
PHP код:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$call = $_POST['call'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$priority = $_POST['priority'];
$type = $_POST['type'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent=" From: $name \n Phone: $phone \n Call Back: $call \n Website: $website \n Priority: $priority \n Type: $type \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "xxx@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
?>

Web hosting or your own VPS?
I'd first check if mail server is configured correctly.

If its a vps, try "mail" in the terminal. If its just webhosting, the mail function properly is disabled, to prevent spamming.

It's home server. I was testing it about before buying anything. What's the easiest way to send it to junk or inbox file?
EDIT: I use xampp for this.
Re: PHP help? - Ironboy500[TW] - 12.03.2013
Try installing hMailServer and see whether it'll work then.

Anyone good with PHP, Can I add you on skype?
Re: PHP help? - SchurmanCQC - 13.03.2013
Be careful testing emails with the mail() function on web hosting, because the email 'xxx@hotmail.com' will actually receive the email.
Re: PHP help? - doreto - 13.03.2013
As Ironboy500[TW] point correct you need to config your email server details into xampp files(email server address , port.....)
Re: PHP help? - Jernu - 13.03.2013
I've fixed it but I have another problem, PHP isn't inserting into MySQL database. Can someone add me on skype to have a look at it as it's easier
Re: PHP help? - Ironboy500[TW] - 13.03.2013
At the end of query line add or die(mysql_error()); and it will tell you why does it fail to do so.
Pretty simple no?
