    Hi all, so I'm having a problem with my PHP form, I'm brand new to PHP so its all a bit confusing. I've copied a standard form from google, but it doesn't quite seem to be working properly.. would anybody mind taking a look?


    Here's the link- http://moretrafficwebsite.co/test.html


    And the code-


    
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>


<?php 
if ($_POST["email"]<>'') { 
    $ToEmail = 'admin@moretrafficwebsite.co'; 
    $EmailSubject = 'Traffic Inquiry'; 
    $mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
    $mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
    $mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
    $MESSAGE_BODY = "Name: ".$_POST["name"].""; 
    $MESSAGE_BODY .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"].""; 
    $MESSAGE_BODY .= "Comment: ".nl2br($_POST["comment"]).""; 
    mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure"); 
?> 
Your message was sent
<?php 
} else { 
?> 
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="29%" class="bodytext">Your name:</td>
<td width="71%"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext">Email address:</td>
<td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext">Comment:</td>
<td><textarea name="comment" cols="45" rows="6" id="comment" class="bodytext"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bodytext"> </td>
<td align="left" valign="top"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form> 
<?php 
}; 
?>




</body>
</html>

    Haven't looked through the code, but for starters you need to change the file extension from .html to .php.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The link i provided had the problem page contained within it. Here is the PHP page alone - moretrafficwebsite.co/content/contact_us.php

    Form data is being sent to test.php, which in your case does not exist.
    Please change it so that it would match the file name you are running this form from.

    Yes! Just change the extension from test.html to test.php. Then also let us know where you are running the code. I mean with localhost server or on your website or where? this is important, the php code will not execute like html file.
