    <p>I'm trying to send a basic email from a form using PHP. The form is validated using jquery.validate.js (which is working fine), but I can't get the email to send. I simply keep getting the php file that is declared in the action when I submit.</p> <p>The site is <a href="http://designbydarren.com/nwh/alfie/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, the form looks like this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;form method="post" action="send-email.php" id="contact-form" class="form-horizontal" role="form"&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 contact--left"&gt; &lt;div class="form-group"&gt; &lt;label for="name" class="col-12 control-label brand brand-font"&gt;Name&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt; &lt;input type="text" class="form-control brand-font--standard" name="name" id="name"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="form-group"&gt; &lt;label for="email" class="col-12 control-label brand brand-font"&gt;Email&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt; &lt;input type="email" class="form-control brand-font--standard" name="email" id="email"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="form-group"&gt; &lt;label for="phone" class="col-12 control-label brand brand-font"&gt;Telephone&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt; &lt;input type="tel" class="form-control brand-font--standard" name="phone" id="phone"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="col-12 col-md-offset-1 col-md-5 col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-5 contact--right"&gt; &lt;div class="form-group"&gt; &lt;label for="message" class="col-12 control-label brand brand-font"&gt;Message&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt; &lt;textarea class="form-control brand-font--standard" rows="6" name="message" id="message"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="form-group"&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="col-12"&gt; &lt;button type="submit" class="btn btn-block btn--orange brand-font"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>...and the send-email.php file looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED $email_to = "contact@designbydarren.com"; $email_subject = "Your email subject line"; function died($error) { // your error code can go here echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo $error."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['name']) || !isset($_POST['email']) || !isset($_POST['phone']) || !isset($_POST['message'])) { died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $name = $_POST['name']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $phone = $_POST['phone']; // required $message = $_POST['message']; // required $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$name)) { $error_message .= 'The name you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } if(strlen($message) &lt; 2) { $error_message .= 'The message you entered do not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } if(strlen($error_message) &gt; 0) { died($error_message); } $email_message = "Form details below.\n\n"; function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $email_message .= "Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n"; $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n"; $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($phone)."\n"; $email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($message)."\n"; // create email headers $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers); ?&gt; &lt;!-- include your own success html here --&gt; Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon. &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried using a few other examples i've found on the web but not got anything to stick yet. Apologies for the noob esque question but i'm more of a front-ender so have little idea about this type of thing (however basic it may seem to you guys)</p> <p>Thanks for your time!</p>

    2. COPHP's built-in `mail()` function sucks. I strongly recommend downloading a decent mailer class like PHPMailer or Swiftmailer; they'll free you up from a lot of the boiler-plate junk you've got in your code at the moment, make it easier to keep your code secure, and give you a bunch of additional features that are really difficult otherwise.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
