I am trying to run a website with a simple php contact form. I am running the website from a random web host. I am also not the most knowledgeable in php or anything like that so any help would be appreciated.
My issue is that when I fill out the form on my website and click send it tell me "Something went wrong. Please try again."
This is the sendEmail.php script I am using. (also I know it says myemail@gmail.com)
<?php
$siteOwnersEmail = 'myemail@gmail.com';
if($_POST) {
$fname = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactFname']));
$lname = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactLname']));
$email = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactEmail']));
$subject = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactSubject']));
$contact_message = trim(stripslashes($_POST['contactMessage']));
// Check First Name
if (strlen($fname) < 2) {
$error['fname'] = "Please enter your first name.";
}
// Check Last Name
if (strlen($lname) < 2) {
$error['lname'] = "Please enter your last name.";
}
// Check Email
if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9&\'\.\-_\+]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.([a-z0-9\-]+\.)*+[a-z]{2}/is', $email)) {
$error['email'] = "Please enter a valid email address.";
}
// Check Message
if (strlen($contact_message) < 15) {
$error['message'] = "Please enter your message. It should have at least 15 characters.";
}
// Subject
if ($subject == '') { $subject = "Contact Form Submission"; }
// Set Name
$name = $fname . " " . $lname;
// Set Message
$message .= "Email from: " . $name . "<br />";
$message .= "Email address: " . $email . "<br />";
$message .= "Message: <br />";
$message .= $contact_message;
$message .= "<br /> ----- <br /> This email was sent from your site's contact form. <br />";
// Set From: header
$from = $name . " <" . $email . ">";
// Email Headers
$headers = "From: " . $from . "
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". $email . "
";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0
";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
";
if (!$error) {
ini_set("sendmail_from", $siteOwnersEmail); // for windows server
$mail = mail($siteOwnersEmail, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($mail) { echo "OK"; }
else { echo "Something went wrong. Please try again."; }
} # end if - no validation error
else {
$response = (isset($error['fname'])) ? $error['fname'] . "<br />
" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['lname'])) ? $error['lname'] . "<br />
" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['email'])) ? $error['email'] . "<br />
" : null;
$response .= (isset($error['message'])) ? $error['message'] . "<br />" : null;
echo $response;
} # end if - there was a validation error
}
?>
