here's a rework for ya. it's not exactly what i would've done, but i tried to keep it like you had it. :P


send_contact.php
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Send Mail</title>
</head>
<body><?
$subject = htmlspecialchars($_POST['subject']);
$message = htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']);
$mail_from = "From: ".$_POST['name']. "<".$_POST['customer_mail'].">";
$to ='your_email@gmail.com';
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
	"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".$mail_from.
	"Date: ".date("r")."\r\n".
	"Subject: ".$subject."\r\n";
$send_contact = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if($send_contact){ echo "Your message was sucessful submited"; }
else { echo "Error, something is wrong at your form."; }
?></body>
</html>

</head>
<body>
<div align="left">
<form method="post" action="send_contact.php">
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
	<tr><td colspan="3"><h3>Contact Studio Stortz</h3></td></tr>

</table>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

since there's no actual PHP in the contact form, it doesn't necessarily have to have the PHP extension.

you can test at http://testing.spati...om/contact.html. unfortunately you won't see the email received.



edit:

Now that's convenient. :P

check out the front page at the Top 20 Tutorials. :)

It doesn't work with BOTH codes
the tele pro and visionary's one

I put the code of the inputs
I save a php with the php codes (functions of the forms that stuff)
upload to mu host (that suports php perfeclty) everything is just FINE, my tester friend do everything correct and got the right messege of "sucessful submited" BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, I get NO mail.

what's wrong? can someone explain why I don't get the e-mail????

thanks

edit: you can take a look at it online at http://studiostortz....om/contact.html
look the source code, is everything in place... i don't understand why is not working :whistle:

$to ='your_email@gmail.com';

well, as long as your put the email address you want it sent to there and you're still using the gmail account like in first post, I would begin to question whether you have access to send mail using the PHP mailer.

is that your domain, or your sub domain?

Lets think outside the box shall we? :D

Myoto, run this:
<?php
mail('youremail@domain.tld', 'email test', 'Test');
?>

If you don't receive it, its likely PHP safe mode is enabled on your server.

I reckon this can be checked by using phpinfo() ;)

the e-mail must be from my domain? like: studiostortz@awardspace.com?

or can be anything else?

the email in the fist parenthesis mail("***", "", "") can be any email address, its the address that the email will be sent to.
