Is something wrong with this email form code? It won't send to my email when I click submit.

        <form method="post" action="send.php">
  Name: <input name="name" type="text" /><br />  <br />                 
  Email: <input name="email" type="text" /><br /><br />  
  Subject: <input name="subject" type="text" /><br /><br />  
  Message:<br />
  <textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40">
  </textarea><br />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

PHP Code:

<?php
  $name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  mail( "jvizion@gmail.com", "$subject",
    $message, "From: $name - $email" );
  header( "Location: /index.html" );
?>

There don't appear to be any problems with the code. Are you sure that the code is in the right files (e.g. php code in send.php)? It may be an issue with the server, since some hosts don't support the mail() function. Especially free hosts, because of spammers.

Are you using wampserver to build your site on, or are you using a free hosting account?

I'm using MAMP.

HI
i suggest using formto email from FormToEmail.com as it will work right away. I spent hours trying to get php email to work and seconds with form2email.

Therein lies the problem. Local servers (like MAMP, WAMP, XAMP etc.) don't support the mail() function because of spammers that can use it to their advantage. As far as I know, there isn't a local server that does support the function. If you want to test this code out, you may have to do it on a real server.

stevej is right. MAMP, WAMP etc. gives you Apache, MySQL and PHP. To send e-mails you must also have a mail server, which isn't as easy to get.
