I followed you instructions to the tee...I sent a message from my webpage...it's been 10 mins and I have not received the message....could it be the server being slow? I did not receive any error messages so i am assuming so. please help

[RiverCityGraphix]

@Dosonina1 Yes, sometimes it takes a little while for emails to send. Also, don't forget to check your spam folder as they might appear there until your email realizes they are not spam.

Error on line 21..

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\objekwisata\ad­min\contact_form.php on line 21

please help me...

[RiverCityGraphix]

@qhiena Chances are everything is working correctly. The only problem is that you are using xampp which has no built in mail processor. When you upload it to a web server everything should work ok assuming you have no other errors.

[Nastevenson]

@RiverCityGraphix The file has been uploaded to my server. However, when I try to access the page it simply downloads the php file.

[hollyweedathollywood]

@Nastevenson if you fine a way could you foreword that over thanks I yet to resolve that download issue...

[RiverCityGraphix]

@Nastevenson You must upload the php file to a web server. If you try to run it locally it will just try to download it.

[Nastevenson]

I'm having the same issue. All of the browsers download the php page as a file when I try to access the page.  Am I missing something?

didn't work

[alpinegrafix]

Great video! I'm just having a couple of problems though. It's giving me the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/59/4274259/html/­alpinegrafix/newman-constructi­on/contact.php on line 12

It's on the line with the following code: $body = <<<EOD

I followed your instructions to the letter...any suggestions? I'm in a real time crunch on this..you can email me directly at alpinegrafix@gmail.com

Thanks!
