使用PHP Mailer的Ajax表单提交错误

Question

I implemented this http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/jquery-plugins/jquery-ajaxsubmit.php tutorial on my form, and the form works successfully and displays the thank you div on submission. But the problem is I don't receieve any email, seems like PHP mailer is not working.

Please see the code below

    <?php
// Insert your email/web addresses and correct paths
$mailto = 'adil@adilsaleem.co.uk' ;
$from = "web@city.com" ;
$formurl = "http://astonstorlin.co.uk/citycoaches3/formmail.php" ;
$errorurl = "http://astonstorlin.co.uk/citycoaches3/error.php" ;
$thankyouurl = "http://astonstorlin.co.uk/citycoaches3/thankyou.php" ;

// Place Your Form info here...
$pickuppoint = ($_POST['pickuppoint']);
$destination = ($_POST['destination']);

// Check If Empty

// Add more Validation/Cleaning here...

// Place your Corresponding info here...
$message =

    "Pick Point: $pickuppoint\n\n" .
    "Destination: $destination\n\n" . 
    "noppl: $noppl\n\n" 
;

// Leave Alone
mail($mailto, $from, $message,
    "From: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep . "Reply-To: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep );
header( "Location: $thankyouurl" );
exit ;

?>

Answer 1

I think your headers are not working. $headersep is not defined and moreover please follow :

$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Example copied from http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php you can refer for more reading this link.

Answer 2

If you are on a shared hosting for example, sometimes they require you to use a fifth parameter like additional_parameters.

mail('nobody@example.com', 'the subject', 'the message', null,'-fwebmaster@example.com');

Check example 3 here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Answer 3

Thank you very much for all your help people, much appreciated.

I got the script working by deleting

"From: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep . "Reply-To: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep );

And the script started working. I have tried using other HTML php mailer but them don't seem to work with this tutorial example for some reason. http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/jquery-plugins/jquery-ajaxsubmit.php
