tel:
mail:
function myFunction() { document.getElementById("myForm").submit(); }

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

$name     = $_POST['name'];
$tel      = $_POST['tel'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];


$subject  = "Solicitação de cotação recebida por ".$name;
$message  = "hello ".$tel;

$headers  = "Email: " .$mailFrom;
$txt      = "Você recebeu uma solicitação de cotação recebida por ".$name.".\n\n".$message;

$mailTo1   = '[email protected]';

mail($mailTo1,  $subject, $txt, $headers);

header("Location: action_page.php?mailsend");

As Philippe said, there is no $_POST['submit'].

Simply set the if as so:

if ($_POST) {

This checks if the $_POST has any value, so it comes in handy.

Hi ! Thanks for the mention. I would point out that testing $_POST is not enough, as you can't assume that all the values are set. So you must test all the keys with isset. The OP would face this issue too.

You are sure right! every input should be checked and validated.

Beware there is certainly no $_POST['submit'] value, so the first test fails and nothing is done.

If you test the following in a test.php file :

<?php print_r($_POST); ?>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
 <p>Your name : <input type="text" name="name" /></p>
 <p>Your age : <input type="text" name="age" /></p>
 <p><input type="submit" value="OK"></p>
</form>

First call gives :

And when I fill and submit my form :

So, nothing about submit is received by the server.

EDIT

One more point : you can't assume that all the values are set, so your test could look like :

if (isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['tel']) && isset($_POST['mail'])){
  // do what you need
}
