can't get php to send my form data into mail
Question
I can't get php to send an email. I even tried using PHPmailer which didn't work as well. I tried everything. php mail (). MAILto. I need the button submit button on the Add contact form to email the new user details to my boss as it adds it to the database. It adds the user fine but I cannot get the email to send. I'm working off a linux debian pc.
Any help will really be appreciated
Here is my code:
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])){
header("Location:login.php");
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="formvalid.css">
<script src="formvalid.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
td{border-right:1px solid #cccccc;padding:2px;text-align:center;}
table.gridtable {

font-size:18px;
color: #000000;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #666666;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.gridtable th {
border-width: 1px;
padding: 8px;
border-style: solid;

From your question there is no use of any mail() function but if you want php mail function then here is code. you have to change the variables and label as per your need
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$name = $_POST['email'];
$email = $_POST['address'];
$addressa = $_POST['name'];
$addressb = $_POST['phone'];
$phone = $_POST['number'];
$mes = $_POST['type'];
$how = $_POST['date'];
$headers .= 'Cc: '.$name."\r\n";
$to = '********@gmail.com';
$subject = 'subject';
$message = "Email : ".$name."\r\n <br>".
"Address : ".$email."\r\n <br>".
"Name : ".$addressa."\r\n <br>".
"Phone : ".$addressb."\r\n <br>".
"Number Of Seats : ".$phone."\r\n <br>".
"Date : ".$how."\r\n <br>".
"Type : ".$mes."\r\n <br>";
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers);
if(!$result) {
echo "<script>alert('Not Send Successfully');document.location='page.php'</script>";
} else {
echo "<script>alert('Send Successfully');document.location='page.php'</script>";
}
}

Oh, please, do not send us your database password...
Please note that the PhP mail() function works with some server configuration, according to the PhP documentation .
However, PhPMailer uses its own protocol implementation so you've to do some changes to switch between methods. Can you send us the errors ?
