Send mail with Php mail () function and landing page

Question

Send mail with php mail() function.

Please review my code. It is not sending mail and the landing page is not being called. I have tested with another script to send mail on my host and it is working fine.

<?php

> if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
> 
>     $name=$_POST['name'];
>     $mailFrom=$_POST['email'];
>     $message=$_POST['message'];
>     $mobile=$_POST['mobile'];
> 
> 
>     $mailTo="xxxxx";
>     $headers= "From : ".$mailFrom;
>     $txt ="You have received an email from".$name. ".\n\n".$message. ".\n\n Mobile :".$mobile;
>     $subject="Information Request";
> mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
> 
> header("Location: xxx.html"); //to create a landing page and test
> }
> ?>

I am only getting a blank page (https://escapetravel.fun/contactform.php) after the contact form is submitted. — Ash, Nov 15 '22 at 07:52
Try print_r($_POST) and see if the submit is set. Try it before your if statement. — zPuls3, Nov 15 '22 at 08:11
Array ( [name] => Ash [mobile] => 5XXXXX [email] => aXXX@gmail.com [message] => ) — Ash, Nov 15 '22 at 08:17

Based on your code, I would start checking things out from your "if" statement. See if the statement is reachable or not.

I would suggest you go through PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail . It covers everything.

I have changed the code to below and it is working. The issue was perhaps with the if statement

<html>
    <head>
    <title>Contact form</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    
    <?php
    
        $name=$_POST['name'];
        $mailFrom=$_POST['email'];
        $message=$_POST['message'];
        $mobile=$_POST['mobile'];
    
    
        $mailTo='info@xxx.com';
        $headers= "From : ".$mailFrom;
        $txt ="You have received an email from".$name. ".\n\n".$message. ".\n\n Mobile :".$mobile;
        $subject='Information Request';
        $mailsent=mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
    
        if($mailsent) {
    
            header('Location: xxx.html');
            } else {
            echo 'An error occurred. Please contact us by email xxxxxx.';
            }
    ?>
            </body>
            </html>
