contact form + send mail (html + bulma + ajax + php)

Question

I am in the process of creating a website for my company, I don't have a lot of money but a lot of time. I bought my domain names, my web host etc. in short in the site that I create I want to integrate a contact form with JS AJAX PHP on an html website. I specify that I also use BULMA for formatting. it's kind of like Bootstrap. I show you what I did. email does not send to address. i dont know how to add imap or smtp. can you help me solve my problem please?;

my .html file named index.html :

    <!-- body -->
<body>
<!-- contact -->
<div class="block">
    <footer class="footer">
        <h2 class="heading-site">Contactez-moi</h2>
        <div class="footer-contact-form">
            <form>
                <div class="field">
                    <label class="label">Votre nom</label>
                    <div class="control">
                        <input id="name" class="input" type="text" placeholder="votre prénom" name="name">

                <li>

</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="src/js/main.js"></script>
</body>
<!-- body -->

my .js file named main.js :

// send mail with ajax
$('#send_email').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var data = {
        email: $('#email').val(),
        name: $('#name').val(),
        firstname: $('#firstname').val(),
        message: $('#message').val()
    };
    // AJAX
    $.ajax({
        url: "mail.php",
        type: 'POST',
        data: data,
        success: function(data) {
            $('#js_alert_success').css({'display' : 'block'});
            setTimeout(function(){
                $('#js_alert_success').css({'display' : 'none'});
                $('#email').val("");
                $('#name').val("");
                $('#firstname').val("");
                $('#message').val("")
            }, 3000);
        },
        error: function(data) {
            $('#js_alert_danger').css({'display' : 'block'});
            setTimeout(function(){
                $('#js_alert_danger').css({'display' : 'none'});
                $('#email').val("");
                $('#name').val("");
                $('#firstname').val("");
                $('#message').val("")
            }, 3000);
        }
    });
});

my php file who named mail.php :

    <?php

if($_POST){
  $firstname = $_POST['firstname']
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
  $headers .= "From: $name <$email>\r\nReply-to : $name <$email>\nX-Mailer:PHP";

  $subject="demande de renseignement";
  $destinataire="j.dalverny@collaborateur-architecte.com";
  $body="$message";

  if(mail($destinataire,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
    $response['status'] = 'success';
    $response['msg'] = 'your mail is sent';
  } else {
    $response['status'] = 'error';
    $response['msg'] = 'Something went wrong';
  }

  echo json_encode($response);
}
?>

it is not full index.html. I just show you the part of the file concerned :) — Vulvi, Oct 07 '20 at 13:57
I don't think this is the right place for this post, as you most likely need to follow a tutorial — titiyoyo, Oct 07 '20 at 15:16
@titiyoyo I'm new on stackoverflow, I first tried to find a solution among the questions already asked but I didn't find a situation that corresponded to my problem. so I posted my question, but I didn't have a choice of location. — Vulvi, Oct 07 '20 at 15:27

Please follow the below example of mail sending and let me know if you have issue understanding any part of it

PHP section

require_once "Mail.php"; // PEAR Mail package
require_once ('Mail/mime.php'); // PEAR Mail_Mime packge

$name = $_POST['name']; // form field
$email = $_POST['email']; // form field
$message = $_POST['message']; // form field
 
 if ($_POST['submit']){

    $from = "myemail@mydomain.com"; //enter your email address
    $to = "john@myfriendsdomain.com"; //enter the email address of the contact your sending to
    $subject = "Contact Form"; // subject of your email

    $headers = array ('From' => $from,'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject);

    $text = ''; // text versions of email.
    $html = "<html><body>Name: $name <br> Email: $email <br>Message: $message <br></body></html>"; // html versions of email.

    $crlf = "\n";

    $mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
    $mime->setTXTBody($text);
    $mime->setHTMLBody($html);

    //do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order
    $body = $mime->get();
    $headers = $mime->headers($headers);

    $host = "localhost"; // all scripts must use localhost
    $username = "myemail@mydomain.com"; //  your email address (same as webmail username)
    $password = "23ert5"; // your password (same as webmail password)

    $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,'password' => $password));

    $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

    if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
        echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
    }
    else {
        echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
    }
}

HTML Section

<form action="qservers_mail.php" method="post">
    <table border="0" style="background:#ececec" cellspacing="5">
        <tr align="left"><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="name"></td></tr>
        <tr align="left"><td>Email address</td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="email"></td></tr>
        <tr align="left"><td valign="top">Comments</td><td><textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></td></tr>
        <tr align="left"><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="submit" value="Send" name='submit'></td></tr>
    </table>
</form>

Use your code and just replace the PHP code in your ajax with this PHP code it should work, if you still have issue i will replicate your code for you with later — ttalib, Oct 08 '20 at 07:12
thank you I just solved my problem by keeping my code, I modified the headers and now it works. I don't understand what was wrong with what I had put on. — Vulvi, Oct 08 '20 at 16:05
