    Hi
    I have a PHP contact form integrated on my new website.
    I am not a developer but was able to do this much.Now, the problem is that every time this form is filled i expect to get an email which DOES NOT HAPPEN.
    So ,the form is there but dono what is it with the code that i am not getting the email.
    Can someone guide me here abt what could be possibly causing it?

    You will have to post your code. Mind reading doesn't work over the internet.

    Did you changed the variable where you enter your email address?

    It could be any of this:

    1. Wrong coded script
    2. Email goes to the spam folder
    3. Server DNS is improperly configured

    may be your code to send email can just send email where authentication is not require.. and now your hosting need smtp server authentication to send email.. thatz what i think..

    i'm in a similar (but not same) situation. i have created an email sign up page with php using a "Mailto" reference. it is now pointing to my email, and is working. my question is, can i make it so that i receive the data through email, but so it doesn't have to be sent through the customer's email client? i just want them to input the data, click submit, and go from there. can anyone help?

    hi simmi,
    for your stuff there are two ways you can go on
    1> you can use php mail function with proper parameters
    and

    2>you can send authenticated mail via authenticated smtp server user id and password for that u have to provide valid smtp server name user id and passeord for that smtp server if you wants proper samplr code for that then you can see this link http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/et073006.htm
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-php-send-email-via-smtp-authentication.html

    if any query then reply me on hpatel@agileinfoways.com
