Hi,

 

Clicking the top-right icon on my website (https://gihand.xyz), there is “Contact Me”-contact.php.

 

 

 

On “iPhone”, I filled in the fields on Chrome and Safari.

The “sent” message appeared.

But it didn’t come to my inbox.

It works with “gmail” only.

 

I checked it on “laptop” with Chrome and Edge.

Everything is fine.

 

I can’t find out the reason.

Hi,

 

Thank you very much for your reply.

 

I've just found out; 

- It's not about iPhone and laptop.

- When I put in gmail and hotmail, the form works. But not with yahoo mail.

 

Just curious.

I think it's not a serious problem.

Ok well its most likely that yahoo checks to see where the mail is coming from and treats it as spam and rejects it if you dont follow their designated approach.

 

Some also report having issues with gmail as well after they tightened up their spam procedure some years ago and is why l never bother much with these 3rd party email providers. Its always better to deploy your own dedicated email address/server.

 

Its obviously difficult if your host makes no provision for you to do so or you prefer to use one of these 3rd party suppliers.

I don't understand what you're doing.  You've got a contact form below with a form action that goes to contact.php (same file)  Isn't that just an endless loop?   Ideally, your PHP and HTML code should be in the same document, yes?

Can you post the PHP code which we can't see?

    My issue is; email addresses other than gmail don't work on Contact Form (on iPhone).

    I can't see any reason why the iphone would handle the php form code any differently to your laptop. Maybe check to see if the email is going into your spam folder on iphone?
