I can't seem to find my error when trying to connect a dropdown menu to my contact page. I've followed my error log, but my configurations are messed up somewhere as I'm not too familiar with email, thank you in advance for any advice. 

<?php

/***************** Configuration *****************/

// Enter your email, where you want to receive the messages.
$contact_email_to = "EMAIL NAME";

// Subject prefix
$contact_subject_prefix = " ";

// Name too short error text
$contact_error_name = "Name is too short or empty!";

// Email invalid error text
$contact_error_email = "Please enter a valid email!";

// Subject too short error text
$contact_error_subject = "Subject is too short or empty!";

// Message too short error text
$contact_error_message = "Too short message! Please enter something.";


if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) AND strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) != 'xmlhttprequest') {
    // The Request must be Ajax POST, enter a message for direct access requests.
    die('Invalid Request!'); 
}

if( isset($_POST) ) {

    $name = filter_var($_POST["name"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $email = filter_var($_POST["email"], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
    $company = filter_var($_POST["company"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $message = filter_var($_POST["message"], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    $subject = ($_GET["subject"]);

    if(strlen($name)<4){ 
        die($contact_error_name);
    }

    if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){  
        die($contact_error_email);
    }

    if(strlen($company)<3){ 
        die($contact_error_subject);
    }

    if(strlen($message)<3){ 
        die($contact_error_message);
    }

    $sendemail = mail($contact_email_to, $company, $subject, $message,
         "From: ".$name." <".$email.">" . PHP_EOL
        ."Reply-To: ".$email . PHP_EOL
        ."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()
    );

    if( $sendemail ) {
        echo 'OK';
    } else {
        echo 'Could not send mail! Please check your PHP mail configuration.';
    }
}

As far as I can understand from your explanation, you are unable to get subject value. Problem is method. You are using POST method to submit form and using GET to retrieve value.

$subject = ($_GET["subject"]);

should be

$subject = ($_POST["subject"]);

If you are unable to send email yet, you need to debug. There are tons of reasons. I am listing few based upon your use-case and my understanding.

  1. Enable error reporting - this will allow you to see all errors, check this answer
  2. Activate PHP's custom log for emails - check this answer
  3. If step#1 and step#2 doesn't help, try different mailer - PHPMailer or SwiftMailer
