You don't set method in your form
element. so by default it set get
. Change
<form action="send_form_email.php" method="post" class="form-horizontal">
And change your input fields and set name like:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="first_name" name="first_name" placeholder="Enter you first name">
And so on.
I seriously Don't recommend use php mail function, because sometimes in my case don't work ... Additionally you don't set the method in you form , you have to set it like :
<form method="post" action="ha.php>
And too , you're sending the form with fields that php cannot get ! for example :
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="last_name" placeholder="Enter you last name"> <!-- Where is the name="last_name" ? Otherwise you can't retrieve it with php -->
There's a php Library that will make your life easy about the emails :
There's a lot of useful documentation that you could read in the official docs of SwiftMailer
For example to send a Mail you could try with
require_once 'lib/swift_required.php';
// Create the Transport
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.example.org', 25) // the smtp of google or live.
//google for example neeeds : Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")
->setUsername('your username')
->setPassword('your password')
;
//live for example
$transport = \Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance()
->setUsername('blablaba@outlook.com')->setPassword('blablablabla!')
->setHost('smtp-mail.outlook.com')
->setPort(587)->setEncryption('tls');
/*
You could alternatively use a different transport such as Sendmail or Mail:
// Sendmail
$transport = Swift_SendmailTransport::newInstance('/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs');
// Mail
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
*/
// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
// Create a message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
->setFrom(array('john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'))
->setTo(array('receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'))
->setBody('Here is the message itself')
;
// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);
