Update contact.html

[andrea-ligios]

Fixed Google Map's URL scheme (from http to https) to make it work again

[kth022]

What exactly do I need to change in the contact_me.php file? I included the email address of the client, put the form live on the internet but still not receiving anything.

Can someone please help?

Hi kth022, in the contact_me.php file, you just have to put YOUR email address in the $to and $headers variable :

$to = 'your email address';
$headers = 'your noreply email address';

The other datas come from the HTML form. Do you have a personal or a pro server ? Personal -> Check your php.ini and the SMTP configuration (but your ISP could block the SMTP port). Pro -> It should work (unless you have a really bad hosting service). In both case, create a test.php to test your mail function, something like :

<?php
$v = false;
if ( mail( _parameters_ ) )
  $v = true;
echo $v;

php mail parameters : mail

Good luck

I can't see anything... Please use another forum and let me know

[kth022]

This is my actual code...

<?php
 // Check for empty fields
 if(empty($_POST['name'])      ||
  empty($_POST['email'])     ||
  empty($_POST['phone'])     ||
  empty($_POST['message'])   ||
  !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
 {
  echo "No arguments Provided!";
  return false;
 }

$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone']));
$message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']));

 // Create the email and send the message
$to = 'info@myemail.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing 
yourname@yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form:  $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from your website contact form.\n\n"."Here are the 
details:\n\nName: $name\n\nEmail: $email_address\n\nPhone: $phone\n\nMessage:\n$message";
$headers = "From: noreply@yourdomain.com\n"; // This is the email address the generated message 
will be from. We recommend using something like noreply@yourdomain.com.
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";   
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;         
?>

Your code is correct so this is not a script problem.. (But doing a strip_tags after a htmlspecialchars is useless. Read the PHP doc for both. And using htmlspecialchars in a mail function is useless : it will display the html entities instead of the real character. You filtered the post email so you don't have to sanitize it also... Check Sanitize filters in the PHP doc too). Good luck ! You can also read this https://securephpwiki.com/index.php/Email_Injection

wooow dont know a lot about this! But if it's not a script problem. what could it be?

[zeufparis]

Where do you host your website ?

[kth022]

maltagate.net here in Malta

[zeufparis]

maltagate is your website or your hosting provider ? maltagate.net is hosting in the UK, not in Malta...

[kth022]

Hosting provider

Well, as I can not get the technical informations of your hosting provider, I can not tell you why your mail function is not working... Ask them. Good luck !
