Using php to send form to my email..Having an issu

Question

Having an issue with getting data from a form that I created and passing it into my email through php. Here's the link with the form http://kapena.github.io/pp_web/#contact-pp

Here's the exact issue.. When I click submit on the form button I get this error message saying..

I'm currently hosting this build on a gh-pages

I did some research on this and I found a patch for the error 405 but I have no idea how to implement this solution into my project. I am just a beginner and I need some instruction..Here's the solution I found https://gist.github.com/baskaran-md/e46cc25ccfac83f153bb#file-nginx-conf

How can I implement this solution correctly into my site?
Here's my php code so you can inspect that to see if there's and issue there thats causing this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated here..Trying to launch b4 the new year :)

<?php
if($_POST["submit"]) {
$recipient = "[e-mail]"; //my email
$subject = 'Email message from Point Plumbing';
$name = $_POST ["yourName"];
$email = $_POST["yourEmail"];
$phone = $_POST["yourPhone"];
$location = $_POST["yourLocate"];
$message = $_POST["message-me"];

$mailBody="Name: $name\nEmail: $email\n\n$message";
$mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, "From: $name <$email>");
$thankYou="<p>Thank you! We will be in contact with you shortly.</p>";
}
?>

My HTML..I have a feeling it has something to do with method='post' possible that's the issue?

<form action="submit_form.php" method="post" id="spaceing" data-abide>
        <div class="form-bg">

Answer 1

I modified your code and find lots of error.correct code is below:- found following error on your code 1. use if(isset($_POST["submit"])) { instead of if($_POST["submit"]) { 2. you use wrong variable name for textarea. you should use $message = $_POST["yourMessage"]; instead of $message = $_POST["message-me"]; 4. another error is your form action is at submit_form.php page but i found your mail code is at top of your page. if you want to submit to another page then use php code to submit_form.php page. 5. Main and important error of your code i found you using your gmail email at the place of sending mail.but you should use your domain email like [e-mail] if you using another domain email these mail are count as suspicious and your mail goes to spam I think it will be help full for you I used your link here:- http://smartzonewebservices.com/mtg/del.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$recipient = "[e-mail]"; //my email
echo $subject = 'Email message from Point Plumbing';
echo $name = $_POST ["yourName"];
echo $email = $_POST["yourEmail"];
echo $phone = $_POST["yourPhone"];
echo $location = $_POST["yourLocate"];
echo  $message = $_POST["yourMessage"];

 $mailBody="Name: $name\nEmail: $email\n\n$message"; 

 mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, "From: $name <$email>");

echo $thankYou="<p>Thank you! We will be in contact with you shortly.</p>";

Answer 2

I thing this going because you develop on github server and he does not allow make POST change your code HTML:

<form action="submit_form.php" method="get" id="spaceing" data-abide>

and PHP change $_POST for $_GET but there is problem with length because all data is sending in URL.

If you want public page to normal server return back to POST method

Answer 3

look http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

$mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, "From: $name <$email>");

$mail is not variable is function then

mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, "From: $name <$email>");
