PLEASE HELP ! My mail form is not working properly. Everything works except when I hit the send button, it does not send anything and just sits in neutral. Does not send to my email address. Here's my code: Please let me know aht I need to change in order for it to work.


<?php
$owner_email = $_POST["owner_email"];
$headers = 'From:' . $_POST["email"];
$subject = 'A message from your site visitor ' . $_POST["name"];
$messageBody = "";

if($_POST['name']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Visitor: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['email']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Email Address: ' . $_POST['email'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}else{
$headers = '';
}
if($_POST['state']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>State: ' . $_POST['state'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['phone']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Phone Number: ' . $_POST['phone'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['fax']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Fax Number: ' . $_POST['fax'] . '</p>' . "\n";
$messageBody .= '<br>' . "\n";
}
if($_POST['message']!='nope'){
$messageBody .= '<p>Message: ' . $_POST['message'] . '</p>' . "\n";
}

if($_POST["stripHTML"] == 'true'){
$messageBody = strip_tags($messageBody);
}

try{
if(!mail($owner_email, $subject, $messageBody, $headers)){
throw new Exception('mail failed');
}else{
echo 'mail sent';
}
}catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}
?>

Do any messages appear in the server logs when you try to submit the form?

Could you post the HTML of the form as well?

The mail() function tries to send mail to $owner_email, which is submitted by the form as $_POST["owner_email"]. Does such a form field with your own email address really exist? That seems dangerous to me: not only can your own email address be found by spambots, but a spammer may also inject other email addresses in the form submission, turning the script into a spam relay.
