    Sort of new to PHP, email question

    Hello,

    I'm trying out this code to see if a message I wrote goes to a specific email address. Below my code only has the Name, Your Email, and Your Message fields. When I click on Send email after being finished writing something in the Your Message field, it doesn't work. What should I do to fix this? Thanks for taking the time to read.
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    02
    	<html>
    03
    	<head>
    04
    	    <title>Website Name</title>
    05
    	</head>
    06
    	<body>
    07
    	 
    08
    	</body>
    09
    	</html>
    10
    	 
    11
    	<?php
    12
    	$action=$_REQUEST['action'];
    13
    	if ($action=="")    /* display the contact form */
    14
    	    {
    15
    	    ?>
    16
    	    <form  action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    17
    	    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
    18
    	    Your name:<br>
    19
    	    <input name="name" type="text" value="" size="30"/><br>
    20
    	    Your email:<br>
    21
    	    <input name="email" type="text" value="" size="30"/><br>
    22
    	    Your message:<br>
    23
    	    <textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="30"></textarea><br>
    24
    	    <input type="submit" value="Send email"/>
    25
    	    </form>
    26
    	    <?php
    27
    	    }
    28
    	else                /* send the submitted data */
    29
    	    {
    30
    	    $name=$_REQUEST['name'];
    31
    	    $email=$_REQUEST['email'];
    32
    	    $message=$_REQUEST['message'];
    33
    	    if (($name=="")||($email=="")||($message==""))
    34
    	        {
    35
    	        echo "All fields are required, please fill <a href=\"\">the form</a> again.";
    36
    	        }
    37
    	    else{       
    38
    	        $from="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email";
    39
    	        $subject="Message sent using your contact form";
    40
    	        mail("youremail@yoursite.com", $subject, $message, $from);
    41
    	        echo "Email sent!";
    42
    	        }
    43
    	    } 
    44
    	?>

    Re: Sort of new to PHP, email question

    First off, are you receiving any PHP errors?

    Second, is this code run on a hosted site or your own local web server? If it's on a host, have you confirmed that PHP's mail sending is configured?

    Third, "youremail@yoursite.com" is not a valid e-mail address. Did you just add that to the code example for us to see?

    - No, there is no specific error. everything just went to standout
    - Local web server
    - yes, set it as an example.

    Are you sure you have configured your local web server to point to a correct SMTP server?
