<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Financial E-mail: Send us questions.</title>

<hr/>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-color: rgb(98,21,153);;
background-position: top;
background-repeat: no-repeat; 
color: gold;

}
a:link {color:rgb(255,215,0);}/* unvisited link */
a:visited {color:rgb(205,215,03);}/* visited link */
a:hover {color:rgb(0,0,0);}  /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:rgb(255,255,255);} /* selected link */
.center
{
margin:auto;
width:70%;
}
p.italic {font-style:italic;}
p.oblique {font-style:oblique;}
p.color {color:azure};


</style>
</head>

You havent filled in your email to all the correct spots.

Are you checking in local system? You won't receive email without SMTP.
Once you upload this to LIVE you will get emails.

@BSKills: what do you mean?

@Vibhaj :I didn't recieve an e-mail after I sent it.

@trascendent: Are you checking this system in your localhost?
Mail sending code never works in your localhost. Got it or not?

Member Avatar for BSkiLLs

add your email address in every green spot it is showing 'email'

Problem is here.

$email1 = $_POST['email'];
$subject1 = $_POST['subject'];
$message1 = $_POST['message'];
 /*
if ( mail($email, $subject, $message) )

You are storing values in variables, email1, subject1 and message1 but in mail function you are giving email, subject and variable
This is the problem.
here is corrected code

$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 /*
if ( mail($email, $subject, $message) )

Replace this piece and then let me know

BTW - some hosts require that you have specific flags set in your email headers. Check the hosts' FAQ on this.
