为什么我的PHP表单无法正确发送电子邮件？

Question

It sends the email, but without a body, subject or anything. This is what I get:

HTML:

<div class="contact-form">
            <form action="mail.php" method="post">
                <label for="name">Name:<input type="text" id="name" class="text" /></label>
                <label for="email">Email:<input type="text" id="email" class="text" /></label>
                <label for="message">Message:<textarea id="message"></textarea></label>
                <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Send Message" />
            </form>
        </div>

PHP (mail.php):

<?php

    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

    $recipient = "me@christianselig.com";
    $subject = "Message From Website";
    $headers = "From: " . $email;

    mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);
    echo "Thanks! The message was sent. :)";

?>

Any insight? Thanks so much.

Answer 1

Forms fields are based on their names not their ids.

replace your :

id="(...)"

by

id="(...)" name="(...)"

You should have a look to Swift Mailer which is strongly safer than your current method.

Answer 2

You need to have a name attribute on your HTML input fields. That's what the form uses to create the indexes in the $_POST array. Corrected HTML is below

<div class="contact-form">
        <form action="mail.php" method="post">
            <label for="name">Name:<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="text" /></label>
            <label for="email">Email:<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="text" /></label>
            <label for="message">Message:<textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea></label>
            <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Send Message" />
        </form>
    </div>

Answer 3

Into my server works, are you sure that in $_POST are set? If you can't send email assicure you can try to set SMTP to send your email Try to use something like phpmailer to send email.

In your form for every field you have to put: - id="example_id" - name="example_name"

Answer 4

you need to give name attribute for each html element . Use below html code:

<div class="contact-form">
            <form action="mail.php" method="post">
                <label for="name">Name:<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="text" /></label>
                <label for="email">Email:<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="text" /></label>
                <label for="message">Message:<textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea></label>
                <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Send Message" />
            </form>
        </div>
