October 1, 201213 yr Hi We have finally got a PHP Mail() form working after changing hosts, well I say working. I've filled out the form to test it with my own email and on submission it successfully sends me a copy, but doesn't sent the business the original email submission. I've included the relevant code below can anyone tell what I'm missing please? $myFile = "log.txt"; $log = 'Availability Check ============================'."\r\n".'Name: '.$name."\r\n".'Email: '.$email."\r\n".'Phone: '.$phone."\r\n".'Number of Cats: '.$cats."\r\n".'Arrival Date: '.$Adate."\r\n".'Collection Date: '.$Ddate."\r\n".'Days: '.$fullDays."\r\n".'Message:'."\r\n".$message."\r\n".'Heard About Us From: '.$hearabout."\r\n".''; $log = str_replace('&','&',$log); $fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = "$log\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); $to = 'cats@cats.co.uk'; //$to = 'john@petadmin.com'; $subject = 'Enquiry from: '.$name; $message = 'Availability Check ============================'."\r\n".'Name: '.$name."\r\n".'Email: '.$email."\r\n".'Phone: '.$phone."\r\n".'Number of Cats: '.$cats."\r\n".'Arrival Date: '.$Adate."\r\n".'Collection Date: '.$Ddate."\r\n".'Days: '.$fullDays."\r\n".'Message:'."\r\n".$message."\r\n".'Heard About Us From: '.$hearabout."\r\n".''; $message = str_replace('&','&',$message); $headers = 'From: donotreply.cats@petadmin.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: '.$email.'' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); $Usermessage = 'Thank you for checking availability with cats; the information below has been sent to us. We will contact you to discuss the details or alternatively, please feel free to call us.'."\r\n".$message; $subject = 'Checking availability with cats.co.uk'; if (!empty($email)) { mail($email, $subject, $Usermessage, $headers); } -- I need the form to be sent to cats@cats.co.uk but it just isn't doing it for some reason? Please any help would be great. Ash
October 1, 201213 yr Where is the $email variable being created? You're trying to send the mail to the $email variable but I can't see what that variable contains, if anything. Make sure that variable is set. Lyndsey.

October 1, 201213 yr I don't see what's wrong with it. Maybe someone else could take a look? If you're not receiving any errors at all, check the Junk/Spam folder to see if it's gone there instead. Also ensure that there are no issues with the mailbox itself with regards to receiving mail. Lyndsey.
October 1, 201213 yr I also looked and was waiting for someone else as I couldn't see anything wrong. You commented out //$to = 'john@petadmin.com'; and substituted $to = 'cats@cats.co.uk'; but is that correct? Edited October 1, 201213 yr by Wickham
October 1, 201213 yr I looked at this for a while and failed to see a problem just like others here. Does it work correctly if you try to send mail to: john@petadmin.com ? Could be some sort of mail relaying filter on the mailserver?? As Lyndsey said make sure the $email variable does actually contain a value.
October 1, 201213 yr Author I've have tried this just with a yahoo email address and it does'nt send to this either, I'm really foxed. ' As Lyndsey said make sure the $email variable does actually contain a value.' where would I find this to check?
October 1, 201213 yr Author For crying out loud now its won't send to the submitter email either, what the hell, it definitely did this earlier.

' As Lyndsey said make sure the $email variable does actually contain a value.' where would I find this to check? I don't think the $email variable is your issue as that is related to the email sent out to the user, not to your business. So, when you submit the form, it sends an email to the email address entered by the user, but not to the email address defined in the $to variable is that correct?
October 1, 201213 yr Author Lyndsey yes that was exactly the problem though now it appears to not want to send anything, and the only thing I've changed is the $to I'm pretty good at XHTML but PHP is something I really struggle to get my head around. My host GoDaddy say that they have PHP 5.1 I thinking running, I presume this is fine? The domain is held elsewhere and the DNS points to GoDaddy, but I think all this is irrelevant? arrrggghh.............. Edited October 1, 201213 yr by Acknowledged74
October 2, 201213 yr Author UM its sending to the email the person who fills in the form puts in to the email field, so confirmation that their form has been sent and a copy of the form itself. This shows the sender as donotreply.tannercats@petadmin.com But nothing comes through to the $to = 'cats@cats.co.uk'; //$to = 'john@petadmin.com'; ; addresses at all.
October 2, 201213 yr Are you sure cats@cats.co.uk is a real email address? Who receives it and where? You should be getting a bounce if the address doesn't exist, so perhaps you're not looking in the right place to receive it. Should $to be cats@petadmin.com which is the same domain as the From domain. Godaddy is notorious for making web forms difficult. If the email to $email (the person submitting the form) is being sent, so far so good and the sender should be donotreply.cats@petadmin.com because that's what you have coded in $headers. I can only suggest moving the mail function which has $to after the one that works where it wil be after the if (!empty($email)) { code. Retype it, don't copy/paste because some strange things sometimes happen if you copy. So part of the code would be ............... $headers = 'From: donotreply.cats@petadmin.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: '.$email.'' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); $Usermessage = 'Thank you for checking availability with Tannercats; the information below has been sent to us. We will contact you to discuss the details or alternatively, please feel free to call us.'."\r\n".$message; $subject = 'Checking availability with cats.co.uk'; if (!empty($email)) { mail($email, $subject, $Usermessage, $headers); mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } //Message ...........etc. Edited October 2, 201213 yr by Wickham
October 2, 201213 yr Author That is a very good idea. Mmmm nothing was sent to the $to email address, how strange. Maybe its the actually email address thats the problem.
