Trouble with a contact form

**ABudgetWebHost** · 30 July, 2009, 16:00 PM

Hello all! I setup a contact form on one of my websites, and it all worked out just fine but, I am now trying to use that same form on another website, and it is not working.

Here is the code that is displayed on the page itself:

Code:

<form name="contact_form" action="contact.php" method="get">
<div class="row">
Enter your name<br />
<input name="textfield1"  type="text" class="input" />
</div>
<div class="row">
Enter your e-mail<br />
<input name="textfield2"  type="text" class="input" />
</div>
<div class="row1">
Enter your message<br />
<textarea name="textfield3" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea>
<div class="div"><span style="width:97%;">			
<input name="reset2" type="reset"  value="" style="width:56px; height:20px; background:url(images/button_clear.gif) no-repeat top right;  border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer;"/>
</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="width:97%;">
<input name="submit" type="submit"  value="" style="width:56px; height:20px; background:url(images/button_send.gif) no-repeat  top right;  border:0px none; cursor:hand; cursor:pointer;"/>				</span><br />
</div>								  </div>
</form>

And here is the contact.php code:

Code:

<?
$subject="from ".$_GET['textfield1'];
$headers= "From: ".$_GET['textfield2']."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
mail("admin@afreewebhost.com", $subject,  "
<html>
<head>
 <title>Contact letter</title>
</head>
<body>
<br>
  ".$_GET['textfield3']."
</body>
</html>" , $headers);
echo ("Your message was successfully sent! <a href="http://www.freereseller.info">Click here</a> to go back to our main page.");
?>
<script>
	resizeTo(300, 300)
	//window.close()
</script>

The form is placed at http://www.freereseller.info but, it should send the emails to admin(AT)afreewebhost(DOT)com.

The form acts like it's submitting, it says that the message was sent successfully but, I never receive the email? Can any of you tell me what might be the problem here? I looked over and over it but, I'm a beginner when it comes to coding so I'm lost!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It could be a mail setup issue with your hosting company -- unrelated to your source code.

Instead of rolling my own contact forms, I've usually used nms FormMail.

Yeah, ask your host if you can send mail via PHP if it's another host. Btw, I wouldn't use this script, looks like there are some security vulnerabilities in it.

And very huge indeed. Someone could use it to spam anyone (regardless of you using captcha or not).

Obviously I'm not releasing how would that be done (to prevent your site from being attacked) - but it's possible.
