I am using following code, copied from a website, for a contact page. But I am not getting any emails and the attached files don't find their way to my webserver folder /var/www/. Am I missing something here?
I am running this code on localhost.

For the kajillionth time on this site: Don't build your own mime messages, it's unreliable and painful. Use Swiftmailer or PHPMailer instead. PHP's mail() function is highly unreliable and cannot produce ANY useful diagnostics as to why things are failing. Swift/PHPMailer will both tell you exactly why something blew up.
beyond that, nowhere do you seem to be doing a move_uploaded_file(), so your uploaded files will be auto-deleted by PHP when the script exits. You MUST deal with the files yourself, which means you have to write code to move the files to whatever place you want them stored in.
Are you running an SMTP server on your localhost?

i want to mail the entire table with data
Without knowing anything about your code, I can perhaps at least guess as to the structure of what builds this table. Maybe something along the lines of this?:
writeTableHeader();
foreach ($values as $value) {
writeTableRow($value);
}
writeTableFooter();
Maybe even abstracted into its own higher-level function?:
function writeTable($values) {
$result = '';
$result .= buildTableHeader();
foreach ($values as $value) {
$result .= buildTableRow($value);
}
$result .= buildTableFooter();
return $result;
}
Any such function or abstraction can be used to construct the HTML for the email body as well...
// ... previously building the overall email body
$mailBody .= writeTable($values);
// ... maybe some more email body elements as well
mail($to, $subject, $mailBody);
Styling the email will be another story, of course. It's best not to rely on linked resources in an HTML email, those tend not to be requested by mail clients as they're often abused by spammers and the like. You can perhaps include the style sheet(s) as an "embedded resource" in the email, though in most cases I think inline styling is probably best for emails. (Some mail clients might not even load an embedded resource, at least not without first prompting the user, which isn't an ideal user experience.)
Assuming you don't want to duplicate much code, the above method can be abstracted using the Form Template Method refactoring pattern (example here, among others).
I guess the point I'm getting at is that the email doesn't send the web page, but rather the web page and the email are both independent "views" of the underlying data. Common code between them can be abstracted and shared of course, but trying to re-use a webpage itself in an email is over-complicating the situation.
newbie here
I am currently attempting to build a simple contact form to learn how best to build one. I've tried to make several fields required (name, email, do you like spam radio button). The required html5 element isn't working for me or I am not implementing it correctly based on what i've read here, on google and other places. Likewise the error/require messages don't display if someone attempts to submit a message. Instead the form goes through on submit even if NO content anywhere has been entered. I built this yesterday and have been working on the errors for about 24 hours now and am hoping to find some help here.
I currently am returning no errors, the form sends all information entered as hoped, but it also sends if NO information is entered and that doesn't seem like the best possible form to me. I've tried to build a function to help the required, but that doesn't seem to be working either.
Again, i'm new so if my mistakes are obvious and silly, please help em to understand them, that would be greatly appreciated.
current example can be found here

$('form').submit(function(){
if ($('input#website').val().length != 0) {
return false;
}

If you're trying to use HTML5 stuffs then you need the HTML5 doctype. Place this at the start of your output and see what happens:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Also, typo value"Website" should be value="Website"
I have spent a significant time looking for an answer, and tried every solution without success :/
Basically I want to use wamp server to create contact form that will be sent to my mail address.
I have wamp running but for the life of me I can't figure out why I wouldn't receive the mails, I either get the 404 page when submitting the form, or lately "Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts".
I am now looking for a solution that will at least send the form to my address, whether it's secured or not I just want to see an actual mail successfully sent.
Thanks !

Windows does not come with a Mail Server so just calling mail() will work as far as php is concerned but the mail goes nowhere.
You either need to install a mail server or use something like the PHPMailer library to allow you to send SMTP mails via something like Yahoo or Google.
I have created a contact form that sends an email to the website administrator and to the person who filled out the contact form. It was working fine and I have just come back to it to do some more testing and it has stopped sending. To my knowledge I've not changed any of the code. I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Can someone help? Below is the code for the three files I'm using.
This is the contact form file:
<div id="contact-form" class="contact-form">
<div class="rounded-box">
<div class="rounded-box-title">
<h3>Ask for a call back</h3>
<img src="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url') ?>/images-default/br_next.png"/>
</div><!-- .rounded-box-title -->
<?php
$cf = array();
if(isset($_SESSION['cf_returndata'])){
$cf = $_SESSION['cf_returndata'];

I've spent most of today and all of yesterday just trying to get a simple, basic send-to-email PHP code to work. Here is the code I've tried putting together myself after extensively researching, checking, and editing based on a lot of other threads I've read on this website and on other sites.
<?php
$to='dustedpages#gmail.com';
$subject='Commission Inquiry';
$email = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
$message="Name: ".$name. "\r\n" . "Email: " .$email . "\r\n" . "Username: " .$user . "\r\n" . "Type: ".$position. "\r\n" . "Add-Ons: ".$addons. "\r\n" . "Price: ".$price. "\r\n" . "Brief Description: ".$briefdesc;
$name=$_POST['FirstName'],['LastName'];
$email=$_POST['Email'];
$user=$_POST['User'];
$position=$_POST['position'];
$addons=$_POST['cat'],['dog'];
$price=$_POST['price'];
$desc=$_POST['briefdesc'];
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully. Please be patient and the artist will contact you soon. Thanks!"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
?>
There is actually a LOT more form data than just that basic information, but I cannot even get the basic information to show up. For the portion of html codes it is pulling from, here is some of what it looks like.
<!--NAME-->
</li> <li id="li_2" >
<label class="description" for="element_2">Name </label>
<span>
<input onkeypress="return handleEnter(this, event)" id="element_2_1" name="FirstName" class="element text" maxlength="255" size="14" value=""/>
<label>First</label>

<input onkeypress="return handleEnter(this, event)" id="element_2_2" name="LastName" class="element text" maxlength="255" size="18" value=""/>
<label>Last</label>

<input onkeypress="return handleEnter(this, event)" id="element_1" name="Email" class="element text medium" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>
</div>
<p class="guidelines" id="guide_1"><small>Your Paypal email</small></p>
<!--USERNAME-->

I have multiple fields (such as the First and Last Name) that I need to be one single variable in the email code, and I need to be able to display all of the filled out form fields in an email. I can't even get more than one variable to show up at this point.
Also the form itself includes selects, checkboxes, textareas, and image uploads. I haven't even gotten to that point - I'm just trying to make some of the basic information show up right now. I'm very familiar with HTML and Javascript, just not so much PHP, though I've worked with it before. Some of the form data is used in Javascript code on the same page as the HTML, also. The actual PHP data is on a separate file that my form pulls from.
I think what's happening is you're attempting to use variables before they have the value you would like. Try something like the following and let me know how it goes.
<?php
$to = 'dustedpages#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Commission Inquiry';
$headers = "From: $email";
$fname = $_POST['FirstName'];
$lname = $_POST['LastName'];
$email = $_POST['Email'];
$user = $_POST['User'];
$position = "CHANGE-ME";
$addons = "CHANGE-ME";
$price = "CHANGE-ME";
$briefdesc = "CHANGE-ME";
$message = "Name: ".$fname.", ".$lname."\r\n";
$message .= "Email: $email \r\n";
$message .= "Username: $user \r\n";
$message .= "Type: $position \r\n";
$message .= "Add-Ons: $addons \r\n";
$message .= "Price: $price \r\n";
$message .= "Brief Description: $briefdesc \r\n";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if($sent) {
echo "Success";
}
else {
echo "Failure";
}
?>
