Contact Us form not Functioning HTML5/PHP Help needed
Question
Good day,
Newbie here in PHP. I have been working on a website (free template) and got all the functions to work except the Contact Us part of the code. I don't get any errors it just does not send any email to the listed email or send back a response to the sender.
Here is the HTML Side of the code:
<form id="contact-form" action="php/mail.php">
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<input class="span6" type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="* Your name..."/>
<div class="error center" id="err-name">Please enter your name.</div>
</div></div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<input class="span6" type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="* Your email..."/>
<div class="error center" id="err-email">Please enter a valid email adress.</div></div></div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<textarea class="span6" name="comment" id="comment" placeholder="* Comments..."></textarea>
<div class="error center" id="err-comment">Please enter your comment.</div>
</div></div>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<button id="send-mail" class="message-btn">Send message</button>
</div></div></form>
and this is the mail.php code used:
include 'functions.php';
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$data['success'] = true;
$_POST = multiDimensionalArrayMap('cleanEvilTags', $_POST);
$_POST = multiDimensionalArrayMap('cleanData', $_POST);
//your email adress
$emailTo = "myemail@gmail.com"; //"myemail@gmail.com";
//from email adress
$emailFrom = "myemail@gmail.com"; //"myemail@gmail.com";
//email subject
$emailSubject = "Mail from MyEmail";
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$comment = $_POST["comment"];
if ($name == "")
$data['success'] = false;
if (!preg_match("/^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+@([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/i", $email))
$data['success'] = false;
if ($comment == "")
$data['success'] = false;
if ($data['success'] == true) {
$message = "NAME: $name<br>
EMAIL: $email<br>
COMMENT: $comment";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <$emailFrom>" . "\r\n";
mail($emailTo, $emailSubject, $message, $headers);
$data['success'] = true;
echo json_encode($data);
}
}
I am really stuck at this point and this is the only issue I have left hope someone can help point out what I am doing wrong.
Regards,
Rafael

为了使form发送POST请求，您需要通过添加method属性来指定它：
<form id="contact-form" action="php/mail.php" method="post">

Is your php mail script placed in the cgi directory? This is my mail script:
<?php $name = trim(strip_tags($_POST['name']));
$email = trim(strip_tags($_POST['email']));
$message = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$subject = "Some subject";
$to = 'info@xxx.de';
$body = <<<HTML
$message
HTML;
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
// redirect afterwords, if needed
header('Location: ../contact/thx.html');?>
And it is placed in cgi directory.

After much research and help from CodeGoodie I think the blame lies with the Hosting. I had asked how I could check Server logs to detect the error and they just replied I need to upgrade to be able to use that feature (although it is supposed to be part of the feature already). Thanks for all the help guys. I did learn a lot :)
