Code: Select all
<?php
$to = "my email";
$subject = "Testing PHP on Server";
$message = "Mail is working";
if(submit){
if(mail($to,$subject,$message)){
echo "mail sent";
}else{
echo "mail NOT sent";
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<? echo($PHP_SELF) ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
My question is why when i hit this page, the "mail sent" echo is already showing before clicking the submit button?
How can i fix this so no echo shows until after the mail function is ran?
Thanks!!

Change if(submit) to
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
