problem getting my contact form working


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Yeah I know this is a pretty basic problem, but it's been a while since I've worked with PHP and I'm having a real problem getting it functioning properly. My real issue is the user inputed information is not getting sent with the email. I haven't added all the fields to the email yet as I'm trying to get it right first then populating all of the fields. Anyway my code is below:

hairinfo.html
Code: <form name="hairinfo" method="POST" action="hair/EmailToForm.php">

hair/EmailToForm.php
Code: <?php
// Contact subject
$subject ='Hair Booking';
// Details
$message="$message";

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$emailaddress";
// From
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

// Enter your email address
$to ='kerry@manukadesign.co.nz';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've recived your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "Thanks, we've recived your contact information<br />
and we will be in touch as soon as possible about your request";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
I would really appreciate any help offered.
Thanks
