Hello. I have got an enquiry form on my website which should send the users input to my email address. The email arrives but it does not include any of the forms content, i.e. the mail is blank. Can anyone help? Here is my send mail script:

<?php
$email = $_POST["emailaddress"] ;
$telephone = $_POST["telephonenumber"] ;
$type = $_POST["enquirytype"] ;
$message = $_POST["enquiry"] ;

mail( "me@me.com", "Website Enquiry", $message, "From: $email" ) ;

header( "Location: http://(Web Address)/Enquiry_Submitted.html" )
; ?>

You're not sending a copy to yourself. You should include 'your email e.g. linda@example (dot) com' after the $email = $. . .

Don't ask for the exact code, I've done it months back it takes me time to search it.

Try the format I posted here
flash-forum/send-mail-via-php-using-flash-t83259.html

Although that's for a Flash form, the concept is identical.

Check out PHP Mailer, it works with SMTP too:
Code: [ Select ]
include_once(INCLUDES_DIR.'/ThirdParty/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsMail(true);
$mail->From = $toFrom['fromEmail'];
$mail->FromName = $toFrom['fromName'];
$mail->AddAddress($toFrom['toEmail'], $toFrom['toName']);
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->IsHTML($html);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $content;
$mail->AltBody = strip_tags($content);

return $mail->Send();
  1. include_once(INCLUDES_DIR.'/ThirdParty/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
  3. $mail = new PHPMailer;
  4. $mail->IsMail(true);
  5. $mail->From = $toFrom['fromEmail'];
  6. $mail->FromName = $toFrom['fromName'];
  7. $mail->AddAddress($toFrom['toEmail'], $toFrom['toName']);
  8. $mail->WordWrap = 50;
  9. $mail->IsHTML($html);
  10. $mail->Subject = $subject;
  11. $mail->Body = $content;
  12. $mail->AltBody = strip_tags($content);
  14. return $mail->Send();
