Hello, I am setting up a simple website for the company I work for and I am having trouble getting the contact form email to work. The following is the code for my feedback.php.
<?php
// ------------- CONFIGURABLE SECTION ------------------------ // $mailto - set to the email address you want the form // sent to, eg //$mailto = "youremailaddress@example.com" ; $mailto = "prepress@bestimageprinters.net" ; // $subject - set to the Subject line of the email, eg //$subject = "Feedback Form" ; $subject = "Feedback Form" ; // the pages to be displayed, eg //$formurl = "http://www.example.com/feedback.html" ; //$errorurl = "http://www.example.com/error.html" ; //$thankyouurl = "http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" ; $formurl = "contactus.html" ; $errorurl = "error.html" ; $thankyouurl = "thankyou.html" ; $email_is_required = 1; $name_is_required = 1; $comments_is_required = 1; $uself = 0; $use_envsender = 0; $use_sendmailfrom = 0; $use_webmaster_email_for_from = 0; $use_utf8 = 1; $my_recaptcha_private_key = '' ; // -------------------- END OF CONFIGURABLE SECTION --------------- $headersep = (!isset( $uself ) || ($uself == 0)) ? "\r\n" : "\n" ; $content_type = (!isset( $use_utf8 ) || ($use_utf8 == 0)) ? 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"' : 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"' ; if (!isset( $use_envsender )) { $use_envsender = 0 ; } if (isset( $use_sendmailfrom ) && $use_sendmailfrom) { ini_set( 'sendmail_from', $mailto ); } $envsender = "-f$mailto" ; $fullname = (isset($_POST['fullname']))? $_POST['fullname'] : $_POST['name'] ; $email = $_POST['email'] ; $comments = $_POST['comments'] ; $http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" ); if (!isset($_POST['email'])) { header( "Location: $formurl" ); exit ; } if (($email_is_required && (empty($email) || !preg_match('/@/', $email))) || ($name_is_required && empty($fullname)) || ($comments_is_required && empty($comments))) { header( "Location: $errorurl" ); exit ; } if ( preg_match( "/[\r\n]/", $fullname ) || preg_match( "/[\r\n]/", $email ) ) { header( "Location: $errorurl" ); exit ; } if (strlen( $my_recaptcha_private_key )) { require_once( 'Contact Us/recaptchalib.php' ); $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ( $my_recaptcha_private_key, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $_POST['recaptcha_challenge_field'], $_POST['recaptcha_response_field'] ); if (!$resp->is_valid) { header( "Location: $errorurl" ); exit ; } } if (empty($email)) { $email = $mailto ; } $fromemail = (!isset( $use_webmaster_email_for_from ) || ($use_webmaster_email_for_from == 0)) ? $email : $mailto ; if (function_exists( 'get_magic_quotes_gpc' ) && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $comments = stripslashes( $comments ); } $messageproper = "This message was sent from:<br />" . "$http_referrer<br />" . "------------------------------------------------------------<br />" . "<br />Name of sender: $fullname" . "<br /><br />Email of sender: $email" .

'MIME-Version: 1.0' . $headersep . $content_type ; if ($use_envsender) { mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, $headers, $envsender ); } else { mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, $headers ); } print("MAILTO<br />"); print($mailto); print("<br /><br />SUBJECT<br />"); print($subject); print("<br /><br />MESSAGEPROPER<br />"); print($messageproper); print("<br /><br />HEADERS<br />"); print($headers); //header( "Location: $thankyouurl" ); exit ; ?>
The part at the bottom I did to make sure that it was emailing to the right place, and it is. But I never get an email. The site is not live yet so this is all from my computer using the builtin Apache webserver. I am thinking I need to change some configuration in Apache, but I am not sure, nor am I sure how to change the config. in Apache to allow the email to be sent. I have enabled PHP.

Do you have a mail server install on your computer? That may be the problem. Try uploading files and test on remote site.

No I have no mail server on this computer. Our mail server is on our main server, can I point Apache to that? How?
Edit...And can I setup a fake Remote sever...My boss hasn't decided what he wants to do about hosting.
