I have been trying to get my Bootstrap php form to work for the last several hours. I've checked the answers and tried to follow the solutions here, here and here to no avail.

My contact_me.php is as follows:

<?php
// Check for errors
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// Check for empty fields
if(empty($_POST['name'])      ||
   empty($_POST['email'])     ||
   empty($_POST['phone'])     ||
   empty($_POST['message'])   ||
   !filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
   {
   echo "No arguments Provided!";
   return false;
   }

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

// Create the email and send the message
$to = '[email protected]'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing [email protected] - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form:  $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from a visitor to your site.\n\n"."Here are the details:\n\nName: $name\n\nEmail: $email_address\n\nPhone: $phone\n\nMessage:\n$message";
$headers = "From: [email protected]\n"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like [email protected].
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";   
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;         
?>

Submitting the form gets me the "Your message was sent." but I haven't received any emails...

Any thoughts?

([email protected] and [email protected] aren't the real email addresses used, obviously heh)

    this same piece of code appears often on Stack and I've lost count. – Funk Forty Niner Oct 21 '15 at 21:04
  • how do you return a boolean if you are not inside of a function – meda Oct 21 '15 at 21:05
  • `if (mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers)) { echo "Mail has done its job."; } else { echo "Something went wrong and you need to find out why."; }` – Funk Forty Niner Oct 21 '15 at 21:06

    Yep, that exact example was posted twice today already (with nobody bothering to mention its origin, so it could someday be fixed there instead of being discussed here daily). -- If you've seen the reference question already, then let on your mail server configuration, logs, dkim/spf records etc. – mario Oct 21 '15 at 21:07
  • Thanks for your responses. The template source can be found here: https://github.com/IronSummitMedia/startbootstrap-agency My error.log file isn't returning anything specific in relation to the php file, but I am seeing sh: 1: /usr/sbin/sendmail: not found I appreciate you've seen this before but the links I've checked so far had different solutions and neither worked for me. – sarwech Oct 21 '15 at 21:39
