<?php
	$mail_to = 'myemail@example.com'; // specify your email here

	// Assigning data from $_POST array to variables
	$name = $_POST['nom'];
	$prename = $_POST['prenom'];
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$tel = $_POST['tel'];
	$zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
	$age = $_POST['age'];
	$message = $_POST['message'];
	

	$emtel = $_POST['emtel'];
	$consulter = implode(' | ', $_POST['consulter']);
	$week = implode(' | ', $_POST['week']);
	
	
	// Construct subject of the email
	$subject = 'website email ' . $name;

	// Construct email body
	$body_message = 'From: ' . $name . " - " . $prename . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'E-mail: ' . $email . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'Phone: ' . $tel . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'zipcode: ' . $zipcode . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'age: ' . $age . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'Avez-vous des questions particulières: ' . $message. "\r\n";
	
	$body_message .= 'Vos disponibilités de jours: ' . $week.  "\r\n";
	$body_message .= 'Vous voulez consulter pour : ' . $consulter . "\r\n";
	$body_message .= ' Souhaitez-vous être recontacté par: ' . $emtel . "\r\n";

	// Construct headers of the message
	$headers = 'From: ' . $mail_from . "\r\n";
	$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $mail_from . "\r\n";

	$mail_sent = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);

	if ($mail_sent == true){ ?>
		<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
		alert('Merci pour le message. Nous vous contacterons sous peu.');
		window.location = 'nous contacter.html';
		</script>
	<?php } else { ?>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        alert('Message non envoyé. S'il vous plaît, informez l'administrateur du site admin@admin.com');
        window.location = 'nous contacter.html';
    </script>
	<?php
	}
?>

Hey @nourdarani, welcome to the forums.

This is a common problem, but no one can help you without seeing your code.

Are you using PHP’s mail() function, PHPMailer or SwiftMailer? If the former, does your host allow you to send mail this way?

This is most likely what is wrong.

Verify with your hosting company that they support using php’s mail() function, or else ask them what mailer settings need to be applied.

You may also be having a problem here:

// Construct headers of the message
$headers = 'From: ' . $mail_from . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $mail_from . "\r\n";

in that I cannot see where you define $mail_from at all. This means that you are requiring your mail server to allow emails to be sent from a blank email address, which is unusual for a commercial mail server to allow.

You should send the email “from” an address on your domain, that your email server is configured to send from - you should not send it “from” the email address that the user types into the form. Your use of reply-to, however, is fine. Allowing emails to be sent “from” any address the user types in means that the mail server is allowing open relay, which is generally frowned upon.
