Hello, I am trying to create a catch return form for my fishing club. I am going round in circles. I have read lots of articles and referred to various books but I am struggling. I think I am on the right track but I need some expert advice please. The html form seems to work but I can't get it to send the email. Can't see what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help me? Thank you.
Here is the code I have come up with so far:
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo "error, you need to submit the form!";
}
$headers = "From: adminteam@romaldkirkanglers.org.uk";
$recipient="ronwoodtd@gmail.com";
$subject="Catch Report";
$angler_name=$_POST['angler_name'];
$wkday=$_POST['wkday'];
$day=$_POST['day'];
$month=$_POST['month'];
$year=$_POST['year'];
$troutcaught=$_POST['troutcaught'];
$graylingcaught=$_POST['graylingcaught'];
$seatroutcaught=$_POST['seatroutcaught'];
$salmoncaught=$_POST['salmoncaught'];
$totalfishcaught=$_POST['totalfishcaught'];
$message = "Angler: $angler_name\n";
$message .= "Weekday: $wkday";
$message .= "Day: $day";
$message .= "Month: $month";
$message .= "Year: $year\n";
$message .= "Trout: $troutcaught\n";
$message .= "Grayling: $graylingcaught\n";
$message .= "Seatrout: $seatroutcaught\n";
$message .= "Salmon: $salmoncaught\n";
$message .= "Total fish caught: $totalfishcaught";
/* limit line length to 70 characters */
$message =wordwrap($message, 70);
$mailSent = mail($recipient, $subject, $message, "From: $headers");
if ($mailSent) {
// redirect the page
header('Location: http://www.romaldkirkanglers.org.uk/index.php');
exit;
}
?>
