Form not submitting values
Form not submitting values
Ok so, I am a self taught coder, so no need to be overly rude if I am missing something lol. This is the first ever form I have created, and I have the css, html, and php set up. My issue is whenever I hit the submit button, all it does is reload the page and sends no data. I have honestly checked out the other forums here for answers but the things I have found in other forums, I have tried, but it hasn't worked. I will leave my code below, if anyone could tell me why its not submitting the values that would be a huge help.

This is my HTML
This is my PHP Try to use this for your PHP template. I noticed some Must be inside the same tag. Try it with the following PHP. You also had a strange stray Ensure that your HTML have the
">
</div>
</form>
</div><?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="From: $name n Message: $message";
$recipient = "searaadair@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email rn";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
}
?>
Also, is that HTML actually in a PHP file? If not, your form is pointing to an invalid URL and won't actually POST anywhere.

Yes, my html and PHP are in a PHP file, and the php is located at the bottom of the code. I have a hunch that it might need to be put somewhere else, am I right about that? Or does that matter? and thanks John. I removed that!

I updated with rest of my code, minus CSS, as I don't think that is the issue

@JohnT yes, thank you! I read my error logs to and found a couple other things and changed those. Thanks for the help!

were missing their closing tags, so I fixed that. The most peculiar issue was how you had two tags, and only one of them were closing. These two lines here...">" class="form" id="form1"> tag.
" class="form" id="form1">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Thank you for that, I tried replacing it with what you provided and unfortunately I am still not able to get it to work....

.php file extension, since you are printing $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] on the form's action attribute. That will not happen if you're using .html as file extension. I also noticed that you seemed to be using a javascript validation plugin (through the class attribute), double check the submit event for that as well..php$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']action.htmlclass
it is correctly named, it us under formmail.php. I am probably going to remove the validation for now actually, so I will see if that changes anything. Will add it back when I can at least get the form to submit lol

Most likely lucumts answer is correct but without seeing the full picture it's impossible to know. Where is your PHP located in the document? Can you post the full code? There are some other issues I see in the html. For example, the tag <html> is in the middle of the code.
