php mail not sending

Hi

I am using the PHP mail function for sending e-mails but its not sending the mail and i m also not getting any error.

Heres my code :

<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
include("menu.php");
include("functions.php");
show_header();
error_reporting(E_ALL);

//print "client id is : $_SESSION[client_id]";

$to = "ashrafzia@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Invoice Reminder";
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

//'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n".'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n"

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Ashraf <ashrafzia@yahoo.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Invoice Reminder <invoice@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: invoice@example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: invoice@example.com' . "\r\n";


$sql = "SELECT * from client_info, payments, services_ordered where client_info.client_id=$_SESSION[client_id] "; 
//print "<br><br><br>".$sql;
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
	$c_name = $row['f_name']." ".$row['l_name'];

PHP:

I don't know what's the problem, I have even tried using a simple mail using the mail() but no fruitful result.

please help

Thanks in advance

 

If everything seems to be OK, then try to ask your hosting provider. Sometimes the problem lies in the server. Have you try to send a simple email (use the sample script from the manual)?

 

Yes, i have tried but still no result.

I am very desperate

 

safe_mode is on or off?

 

maybe your hosting provider do not sopport emailing, try sending your emails throw other emails providers.

 

I agree with everyone else here. A lot of shared hosts either have limits on the number of calls that can be made with mail() per hour or don't allow it at all. It's a classic mechanism for spammers so not a lot of hosts allow free use of it.

 

Chances are that you are using Windows or your server disabled mail() function.

Peace,

 

er.. did you try :


mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $headers);

instead of :

$send = mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $headers); ??

 

hi zia! i m new here. can u help me to understand all these process. advance thanks.
