Contact PHP Mail Form..

Kaktussoft said:

It actually does sent an email if all fields are entered? You recieve the mail correctly (check subject, sender etc)?

No I don't receive the email but it says my message has been send. can you resend the exact test file that's working with you. I will try again.

What errors? Mail is actually sent and recieved? If not check some mail.err and mail.log file.
Also check php.ini : it has some entries like:
SMTP = smtp.somemailserver.com
smtp_port = 25

Copy/paste those lines please to forum (only needed if mail has not been sent succesfully)

How do I check the php.ini?

In contact.php isn't defined what smtp server and smmtp-port you're using for outgonig mail. How can php know what smtp-server and port to use for outgoing mail?!!!

Search you computer for file php.ini or php.cfg
But most likely I need sendmail.ini to check. It is most likeliy in folder c:\xampp\sendmail

Alright , I believe I found it . This is what your code looks like on the xampp server. If that's the case I believe it's the server causing this issue

Code:

; configuration for fake sendmail

; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail

[sendmail]

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory.  (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.

smtp_server=mail.mydomain.com

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=25

; SMTPS (SSL) support
;   auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
;   ssl  = alway use SSL
;   tls  = always use TLS
;   none = never try to use SSL

smtp_ssl=auto

; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify

;default_domain=mydomain.com

; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging

error_logfile=error.log

; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging

;debug_logfile=debug.log

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines

auth_username=
auth_password=

; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the 
; following three lines.  do not enable unless it is required.

pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=

; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "MAIL FROM" command, it won't modify 
; the "From: " header of the message content

force_sender=

; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "RCTP TO" command, it won't modify 
; the "To: " header of the message content

force_recipient=

; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting.  you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required

hostname=

Sorry to say but:
You first created 2 php pages... of course what you want doesn't work
You displayed file://.... instead of Microsoft Internet Information Services 8 ...
You don't know simple php
Neither html (few simple errors were on page)

There are a lot of people who don't know it. But how can you ever create and manage that stuff?

But let's solve the problem first

No, I only have one PHP page and that's the contact.php, the rest is html.

What is smtp mail server of your service provider (I assume you don't run a smtp-server yourself)?
smtp-port=25 is fine most of the time.

What's your provider? smtp_server=mail.mydomain.com is not correct

Do you mean like Server Provider?
