HTML form wanting to send email with PHp

Question

I have written several versions of my code and this is the closest that I have come in attempting to have my customer submit an email to me agreeing to my Terms and Conditions.

</body>

The result of the above code is: enter image description here

What am I missing that I am getting Page Not found instead of email being sent?

I think you should use empty form action because you are processing sent data in the same page. — Makiomar, Apr 17 '22 at 22:18
This is what my code looks like now based upon your recommendation. I did not get the page not found by removing the action. No errors, but I did not receive the email. Other suggestions.? — Sean, Apr 19 '22 at 06:00
If you get a `404 Not Found` error when you submit the form then you just typed the wrong URL into the `action` attribute. — Quentin, Apr 19 '22 at 08:38

Please try the following code, i have just removed the action value, also i had to add an empty variable $message = ""; because you were using it in email body but undefined, also i have checked weather $_POST contains the key name to make every thing consistent without errors.

Please change this:

<form method="post" action="/action-page.php">

To

<form method="post" action="">

And you php block to:

<?php
  
  if( isset( $_POST['name'] ) ){
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $visitor_email = $_POST['email'];

    $message = "";
    
    $email_from = 'mjm@sandsurfersoceanshores.com';
    $email_subject = "Onewheel Waiver Document Agreement";
    $email_body = "You have a new document from $name. \n".
        "Email Address: $visitor_email\n".
        "Here is the Message: $message".
        
    $to = "mjm@sandsurfersoceanshores.com";
    $headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
    
    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    }
  
  ?>

I did what you suggested. My web site I am build and web server support is through GoDaddy. My code is acting like I am not executing the PHP section by changing the action per your suggestion. When I reached out to GoDaddy to ensure I am not getting blocked on the backend with the server somehow, they are stating that my 'Submit' button is not working. I would think that it was working since I was not getting a Page Not Found when I hit submit. This is the last piece that I need to figure out before I can go live. How can I verify that the Submit button is working? — Sean, May 01 '22 at 19:31
I don't see that the submit button is not working. Could you please test on localhost — Makiomar, May 03 '22 at 13:47
