posting contact form to email using php not working -

i have created 'coming soon' landing page new website. until website design , development has been completed want able collect interested parties email addresses - should submit directly email. have written below code, not receiving emails address during testing:

html:

form method="post" name="myemailform" action="emailform.php"> <div id="subscribe">     <input type="text" placeholder="enter email address..." name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress">     <input type="submit" value="submit">     <div class="clear"></div>   </div> </form> 

php:

<?php if(!isset($_post['submit'])) {     //this page should not accessed directly. need submit form.     echo "error; need hit submit"; } $visitor_email = $_post['emailaddress']; $email_from = $_post['emailaddress'];  // validate first if(empty($visitor_email)) {     echo "email address required";     exit; }  $email_from = 'myemail@gmail.com'; $email_subject = "new form"; $email_body = "you have received new notifcation $visitor_email.\n".  $to = "myemail@gmail.com"; $headers = "from: $email_from \r\n"  // send email mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers); ?> 

this first attempt @ server-side scripting. can see incorrect in code?

your conditional statement

if(!isset($_post['submit'])) 

is looking named submit button:

<input type="submit" value="submit"> 

which should be

<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"> 

• having error reporting on, have signaled undefined index error.

also seem missing < form method="post" if actual code.

you're missing semi-colon in $headers = "from: $email_from \r\n"

which should read $headers = "from: $email_from \r\n";

plus,

$email_body = "you have received new notifcation $visitor_email.\n". 

remove dot @ end , replace semi-colon

$email_body = "you have received new notifcation $visitor_email.\n"; 

and use error reporting

• http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

being

error_reporting(e_all); ini_set('display_errors', 1); 

placed before opening <?php tag, signal errors if found in code.

sidenote:

this name="myemailform" don't need that.
