PHP Mailer not working...

Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at this. I am having a problem getting a simple emailer to work properly. I know I don’t have any php.ini issues, because I did get a sample script to work. I’m not sure what I’m missing here, and I’ve gone around with it for a while. I’m thinking it’s something simple. Thanks again!

The page containing the form:

[code]

CW Courier - Quote

 

 

receive price quote (all fields required)

First & Last Name *
Telephone Number *
Email Address *
City and State of Pickup *
City and State of Delivery *
Description of Shipment *
Dimensions & Weight *
Date and Time of Delivery *
Delivery Time is * Flexible Mandatory

<?php } ?>[/php]

what do you mean by “is not working”?
are you getting errors? or blank pages?
is the script doing unwanted results?

When you click submit, no mail is sent and a totally blank page loads.

please replace everything with the code below
[php]

<?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) { // set email destination and subject line. $email_to = "[email protected]"; $email_subject = "CWCourier.com Price Quote Request"; function died($error) { // error display code echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. "; echo "These errors appear below.

"; echo $error."

"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.

"; die(); } // validation that expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['name']) || !isset($_POST['telephone']) || !isset($_POST['email']) || !isset($_POST['from_city']) || !isset($_POST['to_city']) || !isset($_POST['description']) || !isset($_POST['dimensions']) || !isset($_POST['delivery_time'])) { died('There appears to be missing information in the form you submitted. Please go back and supply all required information so that we can supply your quote as accurately as possible.'); } $name = $_POST['name']; // required $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // required $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required $from_city = $_POST['from_city']; // required $to_city = $_POST['to_city']; // required $description = $_POST['description']; // required $dimensions = $_POST['dimensions']; // required $delivery_time = $_POST['delivery_time']; // required $flexible = $_POST['flexible']; // automatic $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.
'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-,]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$name)) { $error_message .= 'The name you entered does not appear to be valid.
