<input  type="text" name="teacherid" maxlength="50" size="30">

</td>

</tr>
<tr>

<label for="email">Email</label>

</td>

<td valign="top">

<input  type="email" name="email" maxlength="50" size="30">

</tr>



<tr>

<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">   
<a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/email_form.php">Email Form</a>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

My PHP Code is..

<?php

$emailid=$_POST['email'];
$to='$emailid';
$subject='Your Login info';

$message ="username: ".$_POST['username']."\r\n"; 
$message .= "Password: ".$_POST["password"]."\r\n"; 
  $message .= "class: ".$_POST["class"]."\r\n";  



$headers="from:myemail@gmail.com" . "\r\n" .
        "Reply_to:myemail@gmail.com" . "/r/n" .
        "MIME-version:1.0" . "\r\n" .
        "Content-type:text/html" . "\r\n" .
        "X-Mailer:PHP/" . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
echo "mail sent";
else
echo"mail sending failed";




?>

Kindly help me in this. bear with me if i made any spell or grammar mistakes.

Answer 1

No need for giving single quotes to $to='$emailid'; as it is a PHP varible containing string value. Give as below:

$to=$emailid;

Answer 2

If you are using Xampp, you have to modify 2 ini files: php.ini and sendmail.ini 1)look for mail function in php.ini(c:/xampp/php/php.ini)>>[mail function] change the following:

SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
sendmail_from = from@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

2) next modify sendmail.ini(c:/xampp/sendmail/sendmail.ini) Edit the following lines (or copy and paste if you don't have them then edit it)

account Gmail
tls on
tls_certcheck off
host smtp.gmail.com
from x@gmail.com
auth on
user x@gmail.com
password x

port 587

account default : Gmail

Save both of these files then test it with this code

<?php
$subject="Test mail";
$to="someone@whatever.com";
$body="This is a test mail";
if (mail($to,$subject,$body)) {
echo "Mail sent successfully!";
} else {
echo"Mail not sent!";
}
?>

Answer 3

The second line $to='$emailid'; should be $to=$emailid;

It's worth pointing out that this is a massive security risk - this code shouldn't be available on the public Internet, unless it's password protected.

Answer 4

You are using HTML 5 attribute for input, It will work only on modern browsers.. So do changes as follows

in HTML

<input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="50" size="30">

in PHP fix error

$to=$emailid;
