Contact Form Setup

The template comes with a simple PHP mail script which allows you to gather leads from your website without using any CMS or 3rd-party mailing tool.

Open 📄 mail.php file from the root template folder with any text editor and change $recepient variable to your own e-mail address. Some other variables and text templates are also safe to customize.

<?php
  if ( $_POST ) {

    $recepient = 'rhye@example.com'; // your e-mail
    $sitename  = 'Rhye Website'; // your site name
    $subject   = "New contact from "$sitename""; // subject template

    $name  = trim( $_POST['visitor_name'] );
    $email = trim( $_POST['visitor_email'] );
    $msg   = trim( $_POST['visitor_msg'] );

    $message = "
    -------------------<br><br>
    Visitor name: $name <br>
    Visitor email: $email <br><br>
    $msg
    <br><br>-------------------
    ";

    mail( $recepient, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$email>" . "rn" . "Reply-To: $email" . "rn" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "rn" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset="utf-8"' );

  }

TIP

The frontend setup (form HTML markup, success and error messages) is described in Contact Form component article.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any issues with the mailing script, please contact your hosting provider for the assistance and make sure that:

• Your hosting plan actually supports PHP and it's enabled in your account.
• mail() function is allowed for execution.
• Your domain is authorized to send mails.
• Letters sent from your website are not going into spam folder
