Hello.

 

I am making a contact form for my Brothers website. I have been using a tutorial to make it and code it with php.

The problem I am having is testing it with xampp, plus I haven't a clue when it comes to php, I have a few problems that I would be very greatful if anyone could help me out.

 

Cheers

You need to configure a mail server on your machine to send mail through Localhost.

 

A work around is to test the email on a hosting server, or you can check out this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3429605/how-to-send-mail-through-localhost

I fixed the port and password and it sent it. Lyndsey strikes again How can I re direct the message to another page?

When I get the email there is nothing. Why isn't it sending me what is in the fields?

Looks like a syntax error on your $body variable declaration; £message should be $message

 

$body = "From: $name \n Email: $email \n Message: $message \n";

To redirect to another page once it's done, use the header function:

 

if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
  header('location: the_page.html');
} else { echo "oops, error!"; }

Hope this helps.
