Contact form - get an empty email (no data)

Hi Folks,

I am not too familiar with PHP but did manage to get a simple contact form together but while the data seems to get submitted okay, the email I get in empty and comes from 'INVALID_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR.' which puzzles me very much...!

The other thing I would like to implement is a redirection to a web page after users submit the form.

Any help/tips would be much appreciated!

You can see the form (html) here - http://www.lalydesign.co.uk/organicspirit-1/contact_test.php

And this is the PHP code (send_contact.php) I am using to process the data

<?php
// Contact subject
$subject
="$subject";
// Details
$message="$detail";
// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail";
// From
$header="from:
$name <$mail_from>";
// Enter your email address
$to
='pierrick419@yahoo.co.uk';
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
// Check, if message sent to your email

if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

Cheers

Shouldn't it be something like

<?php
// Contact subject
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
// Details
$message = $_POST['detail'];
// Mail of sender
$mail_from = $_POST['customer_mail'];
// From
$header = "from: $name <$mail_from>";
// Enter your email address
$to = 'pierrick419@yahoo.co.uk';
$send_contact = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
// Check, if message sent to your email

if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

PHP:

Untested but basically your send_contact.php file needs to get the details from the form so you use $_POST['xxxxxx']

 

Brilliant. It works fine. Thank you very much for your quick response.
