Can someone help please.
The following code works perfectly when I plug an actual email into the code (copied the email posted by $_POST[“email”]), but the minute I use $_post[“email”] in the mail function it does not work.
I have added a print statement to my code to check that $_post[“email”] is okay and it is.
mail($_POST[“email”], ‘A test email’, $emailText, $header);
As long as you are using this exact function (notice the case on $_POST):
[php]mail($_POST[“email”], ‘A test email’, $emailText, $header);[/php]
Then I can’t see what the problem would be. Is the problem an error being displayed, no error or that the e-mail doesn’t arrive?
I have added:
$mailErr = mail($_POST["email"], 'A test email', $emailText, $header);
print $mailErr."<br />";
$mailErr is returning a “1”, but no email is being sent.
Just to be sure, if you echo out $_POST[‘email’], it gives you the correct response?
Have you sent mail successfully before from this machine?
Yes, I have another mail I send, where the email address is hardwired in to the mail command and it is perfect. Everything else is the same.
Apart from something being wrong with the $_POST field, I can’t think of anything that might be causing a problem. Is any validation done on the $_POST fields? Do you know if your server has Magic Quotes turned on?
