    <p>I have a basic email form that I can not get to work, it's been taken from a tutorial online and for some reason I can not get this to send an email to the email address. The email form registers that all the fields are correctly fields out and displays the sent text but the email never seems to come through:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php function spamcheck($field) { $field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } } if (isset($_REQUEST['email'])) { $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']); if ($mailcheck==FALSE) { echo "Invalid input"; } else{ $fullname = $_REQUEST['fullname'] ; $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $link = $_REQUEST['link'] ; mail("myemail@me.co.uk", "Track link from: " .$fullname, $link, "From:" . $email); echo "Thank you for using our mail form"; } } else { echo'&lt;div id="formcontainer"&gt; &lt;form method="post" action="contact.php"&gt; &lt;div id="form"&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div class="label"&gt;Your name&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .label --&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="fullname" class="detail" name="fullname" value="" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .input --&gt; &lt;div class="context"&gt;e.g Derek Datch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .context --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .row --&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div class="label"&gt;Your email&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .label --&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="email" class="detail" name="email" value="" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .input --&gt; &lt;div class="context"&gt;We will not share your email with anyone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .context --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .row --&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div class="label"&gt;Link to track&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .label --&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="link" class="detail" name="link" value="" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--end .input --&gt; &lt;div class="context"&gt;e.g a link from Sound Cloud, Dropbox or any other files sharing website.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .context --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .row --&gt; &lt;div id="sumbit"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Send link" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end #sumbit --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end #form --&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end #formcontainer --&gt;'; } ?&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COWhat have you tried to solve this? Is your server able to send mails? Do you get any errors/notices with `error_reporting(E_ALL);`?

    3. CONot worth making as an "answer". Just change your action to `action=""` instead of `action="contact.php"` and it will work, since your form/handler are inside the same file, so it seems. (TESTED)

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
