PHP Email Form: I feel like such an idiot!

[timothygray]

OK, here's the deal. Although I've done a basic PHP email-sending form before, I'm definitely a novice! Based on my past form success, I promised a client that I would build out two forms by tomorrow morning. I have been slaving away all evening and have nothing that will work. I need a quick and dirty solution that will capture the form data and send it to an email address. Simple enough, right? Apparently novice isn't a good enough word. I'm a PHP dunce!!!

Can anyone help to point me in the right direction? I have tried formmail with no success. My old script looked something like the following and isn't doing anything. I click submit and NOTHING happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

<?php

$mail_to = "tim@timothygray.com";
$mail_subject = "Website Form Submittal";
$mail_header = "The following user has registered.";
$error_page = "http://www.wrightcomputers.net/contact/index.htm";
$success_page = "http://www.wrightcomputers.net/contact/index.htm";

if($_POST['email'] != '') {
header("Location: $error_page");
} else {
$from = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $mail_subject;
$to = mail_to;
$body = \n $mail_header \n \n $from;
mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $body);
header("Location: $success_page");
}

?>

$body = \n $mail_header \n \n $from;

Not sure if that was a typo, but it should be:
$body = $mail_header."\n\n".$from;

Failing that put error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of the script in case there's problems you are not seeing. Also check the mail log (if you have access) and see if it's getting that far.

Thanks - I actually found a few errors in the script. I've got it working now though...
