    Problem with contact form : Internal server error

    Hi,

    I have created a contact form in html and .php. When I click on the submit button it is giving me an error "Internal server error"

    check out my website www.yourgoal.co.in for contact form at the end of each page.

    Code that I used to create the form (HTML & PHP) is

    HTML code

    <section class="one_quarter lastbox">
    <h2 class="title">Contact Us</h2>
    <form method="post" action="contact.php">
    <fieldset>
    <legend>Contact Form:</legend>
    <label for="cf_name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="cf_name" id="cf_name" value="" style="background-color:#FFF">
    <label for="cf_email">Email:</label>
    <input type="text" name="cf_email" id="cf_email" value="" style="background-color:#FFF">
    <label for="cf_subject">Subject:</label>
    <input type="text" name="cf_subject" id="cf_subject" value="" style="background-color:#FFF">
    <label for="cf_message">Message:</label>
    <textarea name="cf_message" id="cf_message" cols="45" rows="10" style="background-color:#FFF"></textarea>
    <button type="submit" value="send">Submit</button>
    </fieldset>
    </form>
    </section>

    PHP code is below

    <?

    $your_email = "admin@yourgoal.co.in";

    $headers= "From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">\r\n";
    $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
    mail($your_email, $_POST['subject'], "
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Contact Message</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    Contact Message<br><br>
    Name : ".$_POST['name']."<br>
    Email : ".$_POST['email']."<br>
    <?php /*?>Telephone : ".$_POST['telephone']."<br><br><?php */?>
    Subject : ".$_POST['subject']."<br>
    Message : <br>".$_POST['message']."<br>
    </body>
    </html>" , $headers);
    header("Location: ./index.htm?page=Services.htm");
    ?>

    Start your php like this:

    Code:
    <?php
    You're missing the PHP piece.

    Your mail() command is screwed up, because of the formatting. You're already "inside" PHP code, so you cant wrap your PHP comment in php tags, but rather you need to concatenate the string properly.

    Review and try this PHP code, instead:

    PHP Code:
        <?php
        $your_email     = "admin@yourgoal.co.in";

            $tmpMessage = "<html>
    <head>
    <title>Contact Message</title>
    </head>"    ;
            $tmpMessage .= "<body>
    Contact Message<br><br>
    Name : "    .$_POST['name']."<br>
    Email : "    .$_POST['email']."<br>" . 
    /* Telephone : ".$_POST['telephone'] */."<br><br>
    Subject : "    .$_POST['subject']."<br>
    Message :<br>"    .
    $_POST['message']."<br>
    </body>
    </html>"    ;

            $headers= "From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">\r\n";
            $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
            mail($your_email, $_POST['subject'], $tmpMessage , $headers);
            header("Location: ./index.htm?page=Services.htm");
            ?>

    actually this should not cause an internal server error because <? is just a short way of writing <?php which <? is called short tags not all host have short tags turned on but if its off it would just show the page as plain text it would not attempt to process the php code

    even ur code is incorrect should be this

    PHP Code:
    <?php
        $your_email     = "admin@yourgoal.co.in";

            $tmpMessage = "<html>
    <head>
    <title>Contact Message</title>
    </head>"    ;
            $tmpMessage .= "<body>
    Contact Message<br><br>
    Name : "    .$_POST['name']."<br>
    Email : "    .$_POST['email']."<br> 
    Telephone : "    .$_POST['telephone']."<br>
    Subject : "    .$_POST['subject']."<br>
    Message :<br>"    .
    $_POST['message']."<br>
    </body>
    </html>"    ;

            $headers= "From: ".$_POST['name']." <".$_POST['email'].">\r\n";
            $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8';
            mail($your_email, $_POST['subject'], $tmpMessage , $headers);
            header("Location: ./index.htm?page=Services.htm");
            ?>
