This question already has an answer here:
I am trying to create a PHP contact form by this bootstrap template: https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/agency/
This template is working find in my local host, Email correctly send and I received the email.
but when I use their code in my own website, it always said Email correctly send, but I never receive the Email
The following is the code
HTML:
<!-- contact form begin -->
<span id="form-title">Let's Get In Touch</span>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="input-style1 form-control" id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your Name *" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your name.">
<p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="input-style1 form-control" id="email" type="email" placeholder="Your Email *" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your email address.">
<p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="input-style1 form-control" id="phone" type="tel" placeholder="Your Phone *" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter your phone number.">
<p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea rows="5" class="form-control input-style2" id="message" placeholder="Your Message *" required data-validation-required-message="Please enter a message."></textarea>
<p class="help-block text-danger"></p>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="text-center">
<div id="success"></div>
<button id="sendMessageButton" class="btn btn-xl" type="submit">Send Message</button>
</div>
<!-- contact form ends -->
contact_me.js
$(function() {
$("#contactForm input,#contactForm textarea").jqBootstrapValidation({
preventSubmit: true,
submitError: function($form, event, errors) {
// additional error messages or events
},
submitSuccess: function($form, event) {
event.preventDefault(); // prevent default submit behaviour
// get values from FORM
var name = $("input#name").val();
var email = $("input#email").val();
var phone = $("input#phone").val();
var message = $("textarea#message").val();
var firstName = name; // For Success/Failure Message
// Check for white space in name for Success/Fail message
if (firstName.indexOf(' ') >= 0) {
firstName = name.split(' ').slice(0, -1).join(' ');
}
$this = $("#sendMessageButton");
$this.prop("disabled", true); // Disable submit button until AJAX call is complete to prevent duplicate messages
$.ajax({
url: "././mail/contact_me.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
name: name,
phone: phone,
email: email,
message: message
},
cache: false,
success: function() {
// Success message
$('#success').html("<div class='alert alert-success'>");
$('#success > .alert-success').html("<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='alert' aria-hidden='true'>×")
.append("</button>");
$('#success > .alert-success')
.append("<strong>Your message has been sent. </strong>");
$('#success > .alert-success')
.append('</div>');
//clear all fields
$('#contactForm').trigger("reset");
},
error: function() {
// Fail message
$('#success').html("<div class='alert alert-danger'>");
$('#success > .alert-danger').html("<button type='button' class='close' data-dismiss='alert' aria-hidden='true'>×")
.append("</button>");
$('#success > .alert-danger').append($("<strong>").text("Sorry " + firstName + ", it seems that my mail server is not responding. Please try again later!"));
$('#success > .alert-danger').append('</div>');
//clear all fields
$('#contactForm').trigger("reset");
},
complete: function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$this.prop("disabled", false); // Re-enable submit button when AJAX call is complete
}, 1000);
}
});
},
filter: function() {
return $(this).is(":visible");
},
});
$("a[data-toggle=\"tab\"]").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).tab("show");
});
});
/*When clicking on Full hide fail/success boxes */
$('#name').focus(function() {
$('#success').html('');
});
PHP
<?php
// Check for empty fields
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['phone']) ||
empty($_POST['message']) ||
!filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo "No arguments Provided!";
return false;
}
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone']));
$message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']));
// Create the email and send the message
$to = 'yourname@yourdomain.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname@yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from your website contact form.
"."Here are the details:
Name: $name
Email: $email_address
Phone: $phone
Message:
$message";
$headers = "From: noreply@yourdomain.com
"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply@yourdomain.com.
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;
?>
I am wondering do I need any configuration or something else to make mail() function work in my own website
