$sender is not set anywhere as It is commented out in your script.

#3

Honestly just trying anything at this point, here’s what I’ve added but still does not send me an email:

// recipient

$to = "[email protected]";

// email subject

$subject = “Drake Centre Event Form”;
$webMaster = ‘[email protected]’;
$email = $_REQUEST[‘email’] ;
$message = $_REQUEST[‘message’] ;
$headers = “From: $email”;
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent) {print “Your mail was sent successfully”; }
else {print “We encountered an error sending your mail”; }

$sender = “From: $email\r\n”;
$webMaster = ‘[email protected]’;

#4

Get down to bare bones and see if mail is working at all. Just run the bare minimum mail function

mail("[email protected]",“My subject”,“My Message”;

If you are running it locally , you will need a mail server on your computer

#5

Take a look at this post and see the code i posted up there for a similar problem :wink:

#6

sorry not sure where to put that code (hence “newbie”) >:(
I am posting to a web site server that is up and running

#7

This is the whole script. Put noting else in the page and run it. Just change the email to one you will get.

[php]<?php mail("[email protected]","My subject","My Message";)?>[/php]

  • Modified. Was missing closing bracket
#8

tried that code you supplied and did not receive email. So maybe problems with html?
Here’s what I’m using in that file:

#9

I said dont put anything else in it. If what I gave you didnt work by itself, they you have a mail server issue.

#10

right I put that code in a php file by itself, uploaded it to the server. then using

in my html file.
#11

Never mind. You cant follow simple instructions. For the THIRD time, run it ALL BY ITSELF. Paste that code into page BY ITSELF with a good email and then browse to that page. I cant explain it any simpler.

#12

Kevin, this code is missing the closing bracket ) and i assume the OP has error reporting off so hence why the confusion.

To the OP, I have wrapped Kevin’s code in an if/else so you should at least see something.
[php]<?php
if(mail("[email protected]",“My subject”,“My Message”)) {
echo ‘sent’;
}
else {
echo ‘failed’;
}
?>[/php]

Hope that helps,
Red :wink:

[member=26967]Redscouse[/member] Typo. Thanks. I updated the post.

#14

I’ve tried several PHP mail test scripts and get nothing returned, nothing in spam. Maybe still doing something wrong :’(

#15

Then the problem is at the server level which I mentioned previously.

#16

I’ve contacted the hosting company…waiting for response.

#17

You’re welcome :wink:

not by email i hope - just kidding :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

LMFAO!!! :smiley: :smiley:
