Hi Im trying set up a page where users can send their email addy via PHP

It works fine when I use one of my own addys (info@aardesign.co.uk) but when I test it on other addys it doesn't work

 

This is the HTML for the page:

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<title>lime_home</title>

<link href="limestylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

</head>

 

<body>

 

<div id="background">

<div id="peel"><img src="grain.png" width="800" height="500" border="0" /></div>

 

<div id="fresh"><img src="fresh.png" alt="logo" width="570" height="150" border="0"/></div>

<div id="emailtext">Submit your email to be notified when we go live</div>

<div id="emailsend">

<input type="text" name="comments" size="50">

</p>

</form>

</div>

<div id="maintext">Lime4 is a fresh company providing clear thinking and high quality expertise in project management and the development of

<div id="limelogo"><img src="limelogo.png" width="170" height="135" border="0"/></div>

<div id="address">Studio B, Derwentside Business Centre, Consett Business Park Consett, DH8 5BP</div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

 

This is the PHP which it is linked to

 

<?php

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

$to = "info@echographics.co.uk";

$re = " New website email feedback";

$msg = $comments;

mail ( $to, $re, $msg );

?>

This is the page in question

Can anyone help ?

Thanking you.

I presume your input field named 'comments' is where people are putting their email address...

 

So you're saying that if you change your $to variable - the email is not delivered?

 

BTW - you have a lot of divs - you could trim a fair few of those out.

You haven't got a From part of the mail function. An email has To, Subject, Message and From and you have only three parts.

Add a variable and add it into the mail function:

$from = "info@echographics.co.uk";
mail ( $to, $re, $msg, $from );

 

I hope that works. It should provide the basic operation but your form is open to security problems. You could get PHP code from an online source like

http://www.emailmeform.com/

or

http://www.formmail.com/

 

Don't worry about the To and From being the same address, that's a good idea. At least, the From should be from the same domain as your host's server ie the domain name should be the same for both. If ISPs or hosts see a different From address to the domain name of the form, they think it's spam and often block the mail.

Should from not be

$from = "From: info@echographics.co.uk \n\r";
