Question

Ok I’m new to php coding and am working on a form mail php ( a form who’s content’s are mailed to an email address) the code works fine. Now I’d like to know if there’s a way to notify the visitors about the success or failure of the mail. ( dynamically add a line to the form page which mentions “success” or “failure try again”. Hope I’ve been clear enough.

Here’s the code

    <?php

    $name = $_POST["name"]; 

    $company = $_POST["company"]; 

    $email = $_POST["email"]; 

    $contact =$_POST["contact"]; 

    $require = $_POST["requirement"]; 


    $message = "Name :".$name."\n"."Company  :".$company."\n"."Email id".$email."\n"."Contact no :".$contact."\n"."Requirement : ".$require;

    $subject ="Subject Matter Here";

    $to = "[e-mail]";

    if(mail($to, $subject,$message)){
echo "We Received Your enquiry, We'll get back to you soon";
     } 
      else{ 
echo "there were some errors sending enquiry, please try again";
     }




      ?>

Answer 1

$send = mail($to, $subject, $message);

if(!$send){
    echo 'Failed to send!';
}

The mail function:

Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE
otherwise.
