Not receiving emails from form

[shjort]

Hello, I have built a website and a form for entry into a band contest. I followed several tutorials to create a php script to send the form to my email but am not receiving the emails. I checked spam filters and also uploaded a test php to ensure that I am capable of receiving emails. This leads me to believe I have some issue with my script. Please help!!!

<?php /* Subject and Email Variables */ $emailSubject = 'RGV Entry'; $webMaster = '[email protected]'; /* Gathering Data Variables */ $schoolField = $_POST['school']; $classificationField = $_POST['classification']; $otherField = $_POST['other']; $addressField = $_POST['address']; $cityField = $_POST['city']; $zipField = $_POST['zip']; $phoneField = $_POST['phone']; $cellField = $_POST['cell']; $emailField = $_POST['email']; $groupField = $_POST['group']; $directorField = $_POST['director']; $piece1Field = $_POST['piece1']; $composer1Field = $_POST['composer1']; $piece2Field = $_POST['piece2']; $composer2Field = $_POST['composer2']; $piece3Field = $_POST['piece3']; $composer3Field = $_POST['composer3']; $body = <<<EOD

Reading through php.net, this might help I’m not sure.

error control operator (@) with heredoc syntax
the error control operator is pretty handy for supressing minimal errors or omissions. For example an email form that request some basic non mandatory information to your users. Some may complete the form, other may not. Lets say you don’t want to tweak PHP for error levels and you just wish to create some basic template that will be emailed to the admin with the user information submitted.

[php]$body = @<<<EOD

Hi,

First off, make sure your server is capable of sending emails. Ask the IT guys or contact the hosting company.

Execute this piece of code:

[php]if(mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers)){
echo “Success”;
}
else{
echo “Failed”;
}
[/php]

If failed, try to send the email in plain text; remove HTML tags, etc… If still no luck, use GeekMail – it’s a library that simplifies sending of emails…
