[RockonStudio]

Hey Um The Emails Always go to my junk folder and i cant change it

[cigan4life]

Make sure to put the closing bracket after <?php ......

[cigan4life]

There is a mistake in the php code. There is a bracket missing where the <?php is.... Thx mushroomheadbangers, this code works really well.

How do I add an extra field for their E-Mail address? Thanks

[RAIcehawk]

I got this:

"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam content in D:\Hosting\7346810\html\email.­php on line 15

We encountered an error sending your mail "

I'm using godaddy I've had SOOO many problems trying to get this form to work :[

[Doubtfire95]

hey

i have copied ur code and have things setup but when i click the send button it doesnt send an email i havent change any of ur code. i dnt have my website on a server yet does this stop the php code from working? i currently building it on my computer

many thanks

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

@Doubtfire95 You'd need Apache and PHP installed on your computer for it to function properly locally.

[Doubtfire95]

@mushroomHEADBANGERS this would mean its only on my computer not the web??

cheers i'm new to this

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

@Doubtfire95 Correct. It's fine :P

There are tons of free web-sites out there that you can test it on if you don't have your own.

Hi,

I've done all the things but when I try on my pc after I click the "SEND MESSAGE" button appear this message:

Thank. Click HERE to return to the Home Page' ); } else {print "Message Error"; } ?>

I've write same as you.

Sorry for the Bad English :)

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

@TheMagicOfGabriel Sounds like you are missing a comma, bracket, or something VERY simple. I'd double-check your code carefully and cross-reference it with the one I hosted.

[thewebshow300]

did it all but just sents you to a page: URL\test.php. and the page is blank. also the message does not send to my email

[johandagreat]

every time i hit submit it opens a download screen to download the php, how do i fix this?

[miniarma]

i get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a5586799/public_html/htm­l/mail.php on line 6

[MrColonelCisco]

@miniarma it means you have an error on line 6 in ur php file maybe missing a bracket or something home boy

[thekidkook]

When I copied your code and set up everything, it sends the email, but doesn't put the info that the person put in. It's just a blank email.

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

@thekidkook Does it display the proper e-mail title too? Also, did you verify that the file was saved and changed to a PHP file?

[Neptune2007]

THANK YOU!! I followed your directions and had a working contact form in less than a minute! XOXOXOX

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

@Neptune2007 You're very welcome, glad to hear it :)

[ScenicHD]

does my website need to be hosted in order for it to work? Or can I test it while I am still building my html website on my computer?

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

You'd have to install Apache and PHP on your system to run PHP scripts :/

[Andy67669]

hey mate, ive copied ur code exactly but when i hit submit an eroor message appears saying it cannot find my php file. All the file names are correct and in the same directoy so i really dont know whats wrong? any advice would be great

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

Ensure the PHP file is in the same directory as the file with the e-mail form. Also ensure the spelling is correct (Case Sensitive) and check the CHMOD (File Permissions) on the PHP file.

[vdub350]

This doesn't work for me :(

It fails every time. It tries to connect through port 25, but gmail blocks port 25. Any ideas?

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

I didn't know G-Mail blocked that port O_O. You could always register a different e-mail (Yahoo or something) and have it all forwarded to your GMail.

[vdub350]

I got it working, I installed ssmtp and set up php to use it. Now it works.

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

Ah, smart! Well I'm glad to hear you got it working :)

[garrywilliam1459]

[linkmandrew]

Thank you so much. I am writing a website for my friend and he wanted people to be able to e-mail him and now i can do that, so again THANKS!!

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

No problem, I know it can be a hassle finding a simple way of doing this. I figured I'd share for people like you. I am glad you found it helpful. If you have any further questions feel free to message or comment.

Thanks!
