Trouble sending email through contact form with php

Question

I've never worked with php before and am trying to make my contact form functional with the help of some php code I acquired through google.

First off do I need to link it to my html page somehow (like css/ javascript) or does it work fine if it shares the same folder?

I have modified the names of certain parts to match the names in my html but am unable to get it to work. When I click the submit button I get a page saying...

"; exit; } // prepare email body text $Body = ""; $Body .= "Name: "; $Body .= $Name; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Company: "; $Body .= $Company; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $Email; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Deadline: "; $Body .= $Dealine; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Interested: "; $Body .= $Interested; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Message: "; $Body .= $Message; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print ""; } else{ print ""; } ?>

The php code is as follows.

<?php

$EmailFrom = "c@c.co.nz";
$EmailTo = "c@c.co.nz";
$Subject = "contact-form";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Company = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Company'])); 
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Deadline = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Dealine'])); 
$Interested = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Interested'])); 
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); 

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Company: ";
$Body .= $Company;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Deadline: ";
$Body .= $Dealine;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Interested: ";
$Body .= $Interested;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";


// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contact-thanks.php\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>

Here is my html

    <div role="form" class="form-wrapper">
<form name="contact-f" action="contact-form.php" method="post">
<div class="f-width">
<div class="f-col-1 f-group-1"><input type="text" name="Name" class="c-back input-t f-col-1" placeholder="Name" /></div>
<div class="f-col-1 f-group-2"><input type="email" name="Company" class="c-back input-t f-col-1" placeholder="Company Name" /></div>
<div class="f-col-1 f-group-1"><input type="text" name="Email" class="c-back input-t f-col-1" placeholder="Email Address" /></div>
<div class="f-col-1 f-group-2"><select name="Deadline" class="c-back input-t f-col-1"><option class="opt-f">Do you have a Deadline?</option><option value="Not yet" class="opt-f">Not yet</option><option value="Less than 1 Month" class="opt-f">Less than 1 Month</option><option value="2-3 Months" class="opt-f">2-3 Months</option><option value="3-6 Months" class="opt-f">3-6 Months</option><option value="6+ Months" class="opt-f">6+ Months</option></select></div>
<div class="f-col-2 f-group-3"><select name="Interested" class="c-back input-t f-col-2"><option class="opt-f">What are you interested in?</option><option value="Branding" class="opt-f">Branding</option><option value="Print Design" class="opt-f">Print Design</option><option value="Illustration" class="opt-f">Illustration</option><option value="Website / UI Design" class="opt-f">Website / UI Design</option><option value="Literature" class="opt-f">Literature</option><option value="Video Editing" class="opt-f">Video Editing</option><option value="Other" class="opt-f">Other</option></select></div>
<div class="f-col-3 f-group-4"><textarea name="Message" class="c-back input-t message-f f-col-3" placeholder="Describe your project..."></textarea></div>
<div class="f-submit f-group-5"><input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Send" class="form-btn" /></div>
</div></form></div>

(And yes I have created the contact-thanks.php file it calls for at the end).

This PHP script here - does the file name end in .php or .html? — larsAnders, Apr 21 '16 at 06:24
Also does it matter what properties as in the form tag in the html apart from the action. — ccc, Apr 21 '16 at 06:25
Your code works perfectly fine for me as-is so the problem isn't with your PHP file. You should go through the steps in the question Paul Crovella linked to. — Cai, Apr 21 '16 at 09:00

So many $Body , How About :

$Body = " Name : $Name \n Company : $Company \n Deadline : $Deadline \n Interested : $Interested \n Message : $Message";

Is This What You Looking For ?

Once I click the submit button it directs me to a blank page with most of the php text (The first line of code in the original question). – ccc Apr 21 '16 at 06:31
