Hi everyone. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with the coding of my contact form. My website is based off a template which came with positive reviews and no mention of errors with sending messages from the form. When I attempt to send a message it just results in a continuous loading symbol. Here’s the code (with my email address replaced with something generic). Thank you.

<?php

/************************
* Variables you can change
*************************/

$mailto = “example@email.com"; // Enter your mail addres here.
$name = ucwords($_POST['name']);
$subject = "Message from $name"; // Enter the subject here.
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

if(strlen($_POST['name']) < 1 ){
echo 'email_error';
}

else if(strlen($email) < 1 ) {
echo 'email_error';
}

else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", $email)) {
echo 'email_error';
}

else if(strlen($message) < 1 ){
echo 'email_error';

} else {

// NOW SEND THE ENQUIRY

$email_message="\n\n" .
"Name: " .
ucwords($name) .
"\n" .
"Email: " .
$email .
"\n" .
"Comments: " .
"\n" .
$message .
"\n" .
"\n\n" ;

$email_message = trim(stripslashes($email_message));
mail($mailto, $subject, $email_message, "From: \"$vname\" <".$email.">\nReply-To: \"".ucwords($name)."\" <".$email.">\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion() );

}
?>

Please post the HTML form that goes with the above script.

Is this the section you need? Sorry, still learning...

<div id="contactFormArea">
<!-- Contact Form Start //-->
<form action="#" id="contactform">
<fieldset>
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="textfield" id="name" value="" />
<div class="clear"></div>
<label>E-mail</label>
<input type="text" name="email" class="textfield" id="email" value="" />
<div class="clear"></div>
<label>Subject</label>
<input type="text" name="subject" class="textfield" id="subject" value="" />
<div class="clear"></div>
<label>Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" class="textarea" cols="2" rows="4"></textarea>
<div class="clear"></div>
<label> </label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="buttoncontact" id="buttonsend" value="Submit" />
<span class="loading" style="display: none;">Please wait..</span>
<div class="clear"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>

Appears to be working now. I guess the page needed to be loaded from my server rather than my pc.

I should work locally provided the script is on a server and that you have the URL to it instead of the hash sign here.



On the other hand this curly quote should stop if from working.



But maybe that happened when you edited the email out for the forum. Don't use Word and the like.
