PHP Email doesn’t work!!!!!!!! HELP PLEASE

[rcespedes]

Can someone help me with this? I used this PHP email form from CSS-TRICKS
https://css-tricks.com/sending-nice-html-email-with-php/

I am trying to customize it to my own but its not working, here is the link of the form I am customizing:
http://www.keenannagle.com/clientreview/monumentalmortgage/form/form.php

It looks like the email form goes through but I dont get any emails. I think it’s not working because the “radios” variables I am using.

This is the code I am using:

if (!empty($_SERVER)) { //check ip from share internet
$ip=$_SERVER;
} elseif (!empty($_SERVER)) { //to check ip is pass from proxy
$ip=$_SERVER;
} else {
$ip=$_SERVER;
}
return $ip;
}

function writeLog($where) {

$ip = getRealIp(); // Get the IP from superglobal
$host = gethostbyaddr($ip); // Try to locate the host of the attack
$date = date(“d M Y”);

// create a logging message with php heredoc syntax
$logging = << n
<< Start of Message >>
There was a hacking attempt on your form. n
Date of Attack: {$date}
IP-Adress: {$ip} n
Host of Attacker: {$host}
Point of Attack: {$where}
<< End of Message >>
LOG;
// Awkward but LOG must be flush left

// open log file
if($handle = fopen(‘hacklog.log’, ‘a’)) {

fputs($handle, $logging); // write the Data to file
fclose($handle); // close the file

} else { // if first method is not working, for example because of wrong file permissions, email the data

$to = ‘[email protected]’;
$subject = ‘HACK ATTEMPT’;
$header = ‘From: [email protected]’;
if (mail($to, $subject, $logging, $header)) {
echo “Sent notice to admin.”;
}

}
}

function verifyFormToken($form) {

// check if a session is started and a token is transmitted, if not return an error

return false;
}

// check if the form is sent with token in it

return false;

return false;

}

// generate a token from an unique value, took from microtime, you can also use salt-values, other crypting methods…
$token = md5(uniqid(microtime(), true));

// Write the generated token to the session variable to check it against the hidden field when the form is sent
$_SESSION[$form.’_token’] = $token;

return $token;

Do you really think someone will be able to dig into this wall of code? :s

Use code blocks efficiently, or paste into a Fiddle/Pen.

making a [gist on github](http://gist.github.com) is a good way to share lots of code.

What do you mean, it “looks like” the form goes through? What are you specific results?

> I think it’s not working because the “radios” variables I am using.

What makes you think this? If you remove that variable, does it work as expected?

Are you getting any error messages?

You need to be very specific and methodical if you expect someone to be able to help you.
