How come php form isn't sending information to my email

this is how to send cc and bcc copies

<?php
mail('recipient@some.net, someone@some.net, metoo@some.net',
    'Subject', 'Your message here.',
    "To: The Receiver <recipient@some.net>\n" .
    "From: The Sender <sender@some.net>\n" .
    "cc: Interested <someone@some.net>\n" .
    "Bcc: Me Too <metoo@some.net>\n" .
    "X-Mailer: PHP 4.x");
?>

http://www.java2s.com/Code/Php/Form/SendemailwithCCandBCC.htm

i see, so does this code have to be its own php file and then be referenced or is the current code on my page with the form (www.sethgrabel.com) ok and needs to simply be fixed within that index.htm page?

you will need to replace your mail function with these lines in the page that sending emails

and replace the mails in the  the function above to the emails you want to send to

by "mail function" do you mean a portion of the code in the index.htm page or a seperate php file?

(sorry im newb :)

you have a mail function which sending mails ... i don't know which page .. but you need to edit this function ... if you can get this code and post it here we can help you more

i believe this is the file.
thank you

you don't need to edit a lot

just add the other mail you want to $bcc ... at line 36

oh ok, thanks,.i see.
however the main issue im having is that the first or initial email isn't even getting the data when the user enters there email in the home page.. so if i put an email in the bcc field it most likely wouldn't be received either..

(this file is being used to send the data to seth@sethgrabel.com via his booking page on the site (http://www.sethgrabel.com/book_seth_grabel.php)

What i was thinking i could do was use this same code and duplicate it on the home page of this site which i did and just have the form data reduced to just ask for an email, but its just not seeming to work. (is this because you cant use one .php formmail file for 2 different page requests?

you can desing a one from scratch ... booking for and submit it to you through mail ... it is easy and you will find a lot of resources to design it from scratch


we can help you  ... and you will find a lot of Q/A here related to this

oh ok so do i just search in the database then?

i looked on the database and copied an experts form but it still doesnt seem to be working :/

sorry for being late

try this .... if it worked .. then add what you need from HTML and design

<?php if ($_POST['submit'] == "submit") {
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mailto = 'design@mixvegasmedia.com.com' ;
$subject = "Would like to sign up for the trick of the month" ;
$thankyouurl = "http://www.sethgrabel.com/thankyou.php" ;
$messageproper .= "Message: Send the Following Email Address Info\r\nEmail: $_POST[email]\r\n";
if (!mail($mailto, "$subject", "$messageproper", "From: Inforeqeust <seth@sethgrabel.com>")) {
echo "error message here";
} else {
header( "Location: $thankyouurl" );
}
}
?>
<form name="" method="post" action="">
<input name="email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

thanks. but i get this error when i test it..

Method Not Allowed
The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL /index.htm.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at sethgrabel.com Port 80

(do i have to input any additional data myself? ( noticed there's nothing between the action" " parenthasis

thanks!

i retest again ... its working


also i added the action tab ... and it was working without it

<?php if ($_POST['submit'] == "submit") {
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mailto = 'design@mixvegasmedia.com.com' ;
$subject = "Would like to sign up for the trick of the month" ;
$thankyouurl = "http://www.sethgrabel.com/thankyou.php" ;
$messageproper .= "Message: Send the Following Email Address Info\r\nEmail: $_POST[email]\r\n";
if (!mail($mailto, "$subject", "$messageproper", "From: Inforeqeust <seth@sethgrabel.com>")) {
echo "error message here";
} else {
header( "Location: $thankyouurl" );
}
}
?>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input name="email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

hmm, still getting same error.. i noticed the mailto email has an extra .com at the end (design@mixvegasmedia.com.com) is it suppose to be like that?

good comment .. no it is not ......

$mailto = 'design@mixvegasmedia.com' ;

still not working, could it be because the file is an htm extension instead of html?

no .... but i think you need to save it as php file ..... to make sure that php will process it

hmm still doesn't seem to be working. Would it be maybe because im testing the mailto with my email and not the clients email (whos email is attached to the url) ?

It appears that the form is sending the form information via the 'POST' method, whereas the .php file that is accepting the form information does not have any code to accept information sent via the 'POST' method, but probably has code to accept the information via the 'GET' method.


hvae you changed anything in the source code i sent ... i tested it for the 4th time and no errors

hmm, i just repasted the code and now i see its working, however how would i make it so that after they hit submit - it directs them to my "thankyou.php" page?

again it is working .... do you have an error or something ....

yes i see it is working however i would like it do redirect them to my thank you page after hitting the "submit" button.

 Also, there is black error text on the actual page ..

("Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/mystical/public_html/index.php:5) in /home2/mystical/public_html/index.php on line 70")

..above the form. How do i remove this? (its not in the code)

ok it seems to be re-directing to the thank you page now but i am still not receving any emails when i test the page..

i made sure my email in code is correct. i don't know why this isnt working
