php mail function error...

Hi All,

Im using
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
function to send mail. its already uploaded to server. if i execute this file im getting following error:


Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 Bad sequence of commands. You must specify the recipients of a message before you can send it in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\XXX.in\httpdocs\YYY\signup_success.php on line 159

what is this error? Whether i i want to includu any file? (like ini file)

Help!!!

 

Well... you haven't included the code for the signup_success.php, so it's hard to say, but my guess would be that you assign the $to-variable somewhere near line 159 in that file (or use it) - and that it is empty - the error sounds to me like you're trying to send the email to no receipients - ie, the $to-variable is empty.

Try echoing out the different variables before using the mail()-function, to see what they contain.

 

ya got it.. thank you..

But there is another probem...
in my inbox , instead of msg im getting some other that is ,

Message-ID: <FC023E80C237463FBEA43F436CC8EBA9.MAI@home>

but i have declared some other in body...

suggest!!!

 

Are you sure you are sending correct headers and the message body? Headers should look somewhat like this

MIME-Version: 1.0
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:17:05 -0400
Return-Path: webmaster@domain.com
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: PHP Mailer
From: "webmaster" <webmaster@domain.com>
Content-type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Code (markup):

 

Sorry ,

Its my mistake. I missed headers.. thanks..

 

Proper Header is very much required while using such functions.
