php

<?php  $name = $_post['name']; $number = $_post['number']; $email = $_post['email']; $company = $_post['company']; $message = $_post['message'];  $from = 'from: info@recipient.com';  $to = 'myemail@gmail.com'; //email $subject = 'website booking enquiry'; $message = "from: $name\n number: $number\n e-mail: $email\n company:     $company\n message: $message\n ";  $headers .= "mime-version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "content-type: text/html\r\n"; $headers = 'from: info@recipient.com' . "\r\n" . 'reply-to: $email' . "\r\n" . 'x-mailer: php/' . phpversion();  mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header( "location: index.html" );//if u wish redirected ?> 

this getting long comments, therefore have submitted following.

you have quite few errors in code.

you've missed concatenate/dot last header , "breaking chain" were, , variables don't parsed in single quotes

also first header should not have leading dot.

$name = $_post['name']; $number = $_post['number']; $email = $_post['email']; $company = $_post['company']; $message = $_post['message'];  $from = 'from: info@recipient.com';  $to = 'myemail@gmail.com'; //email $subject = 'website booking enquiry'; $message = "from: $name\n number: $number\n e-mail: $email\n company:     $company\n message: $message\n ";  $headers  = "mime-version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "content-type: text/html\r\n"; $headers .= 'from: info@recipient.com' . "\r\n" . "reply-to: $email" . "\r\n" . 'x-mailer: php/' . phpversion();  mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); header( "location: index.html" );//if u wish redirected exit; 

you should check empty fields, because can submit nothing filled , empty results.

i.e.:

if(!empty($_post['name']) || !empty($_post['email'])) {  // assign variables post arrays , process mail  $name = $_post['name']; $number = $_post['number']; $email = $_post['email']; $company = $_post['company']; $message = $_post['message'];  // ... rest of code  } 

note: || means "or". can use that, or && means "and", or mix of both.

footnotes:

\n not show data on separate lines, should goal, since using html headers.

you need use <br> if want here.

consult manual on mail:

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

a few other alternatives php's mail(), phpmailer , swiftmailer:

• https://github.com/phpmailer/phpmailer
• http://swiftmailer.org/

as stated in comments:

enctype="multipart/form-data" - remove form element. – cbroe"

that can safely removed since you're not dealing files.

if server issue, need find out problem , beyond scope of question.
