and mail-contact.php

<?php session_start(); if($_POST["captcha"]==$_SESSION["captcha_code"]) $client_mail = $_POST['email_contact']; $owner_mail = "pratik@xyz.com"; $msg = ""; $msg .= ""; $msg .= ""; $msg .= ""; $msg .= ""; $msg .= "

Name	: ".$_POST['name_contact']." ".$_POST['lastname_contact']."
Email	: ".$_POST['email_contact']."
Contact No.	: ".$_POST['phone_contact']."
Message	: ".$_POST['message_contact']."

"; $subject = "Contact Query for your business"; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: $client_mail \r\n"; $subject = "Contact Query for XYZ.com"; //print_r($msg); //die(); $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: $client_mail \r\n"; if(mail($owner_mail,$subject,$msg,$headers)){ echo''; echo ''; } else{ echo''; echo ''; } ?>

Can someone help me with correct code.

In mail-contact.php just after the session_start() do a var_dump() on the $_POST array and the $_SESSION array to check that what you expect to see there is what’s there

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I am new to PHP can you please help me with correct code for this page.

Where did you find this code?

[Pratik_Lalwani]

Was working on another website and it was working perfectly there.

[Pratik_Lalwani]

any issues there as well?

I don’t see any code to check whether the user has filled in any of the form fields (other than the CAPTCHA) before you create and send the email.
