I would like to have a contact form on my that requires the *fullname, *email address, and *subject and *message. I followed a tutorial to develop my form but for some reason it is not sending my test message.
I'm not experienced enough with PHP to figure out what I am doing wrong, so I am hoping to get suggestions on how to resolve this issue. All questions, suggestions, and possible solutions are welcome. Thanks.
contact form php: Code:
<?php
// EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINE BELOW AS REQUIRED
$send_email_to = "jb@me.com";
function send_email($name,$email,$email_subject,$email_message)
{
global $send_email_to;
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$email. "\r\n";
$message = "<strong>Email = </strong>".$email."<br>";
$message .= "<strong>Name = </strong>".$name."<br>";
$message .= "<strong>Message = </strong>".$email_message."<br>";
@mail($send_email_to, $email_subject, $message,$headers);
return true;
}
function validate($name,$email,$message,$subject)
{
$return_array = array();
$return_array['success'] = '1';
$return_array['name_msg'] = '';
$return_array['email_msg'] = '';
$return_array['message_msg'] = '';
$return_array['subject'] = '';
if($email == '')
{
$return_array['success'] = '0';
$return_array['email_msg'] = 'email is required';
}
