PHP contact form not sending

I have a contact form on a page that sends the details of the form to an email address. You can view it here, www.wonder.ie

The HTML for the form is the following:

<form id="form" name="form27" class="wufoo  page" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="mailer.php">  
    <ul>
        <li id="foli1">
            <label class="op" id="title1" for="Field1">Name</label>
            <div><input id="Field1" name="name" type="text" class="op required" value="" maxlength="255" tabindex="1" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);" /></div>  
        </li>

        <li id="foli2">
        <label class="op" id="title2" for="Field2">Email</label>
            <div><input id="Field2" name="email" type="text" class="op required email" value="" maxlength="255" tabindex="2" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);" /></div>
        </li>

        <li id="foli3">
            <label class="op" id="title3" for="Field3">Inquiry</label>
            <div><textarea id="Field3" name="message" class="op required" rows="10" cols="50" tabindex="3" onkeyup="handleInput(this);" onchange="handleInput(this);"></textarea></div>
        </li>
        </ul>  
        <input id="button" name="saveForm" class="btTxt submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />         
</form>

And for my PHP it is this:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Email from Wonder.ie";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";

mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "blarg!";
}
?>

Does everything look correct? I know I have the form names matched correctly with the PHP but I can't figure out why I'm not receiving the email you know - FYI the PHP on the site has a real email address, not [email protected]. Once I hit the submit button I am taken to mailer.php but I notice the echo "blarg!" so my guess is the email is not being sent.

Thank you!

In your html your have

<input id="button" name="saveForm" class="btTxt submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />

but in the php file when you check for $_POST["submit"], which is not right.

You need to change if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to if(isset($_POST['saveForm']))

or if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to if(isset($_POST))

your problem is it's pour out blarg. it's definitely the post does not reach your

code->

mail($to, $subject, $body);

and the name of the submit should be changed to

'saveForm'

by the way :)..

just tried

mail($to, $subject, $body);

in your x.php , upload it and chage to , subject and body to right things and if it's sent then the mail function works okay.

 if(@mail($emailRecipient, $subject, $message, $headers))
    {
      echo "Mail Sent Successfully";
    }else{
      echo "Mail Not Sent";
    }

this is also a good code I have found in stackoverflow to check if mail function works.

you are using

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

but, you have save the submit button name assaveForm
So, use

if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) {

Some email servers won't accept emails without appropriate headers and you haven't provided any. This is what I use.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

$header = "From: ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "Cc: ".$ccText."\n";
$header .= "Reply-To : ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "Return-Path : ".$fromText."\r\n";
$header .= "X-Mailer: PHP\r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
mail($toText, $subjectText, $msgText, $header, '-f'.$fromText);

In your PHP code you check if $_POST['submit'] is set, but in your HTML code you gave the submit button the name of saveForm so you should change the line
