send mail

hallo there,

i want to send mail. i get what i need from a form.
the code to send the mail is

else {
	/*echo $email_address;
	echo "<br>";
	echo  $subject;
	echo "<br>";
	echo $message;
	echo "<br>";
	echo $headers;
	echo "<br>";*/
	if(mail($email_address, $subject, $message, $headers))
	{	
	//echo 9 never in here;
	header("Location: ".$form_file."?msg=7");}
	else
	{
	header("Location: ".$form_file."?msg=8");
	}
	
	//echo 11;
	}

Code (markup):

all the parametres of mail function is full with the right data. but the if condition is never true. it nevers sends the mail. Am i doing something wrong????

 

someone??????

is it possible that server side setting?. i should communicate with the web server administrator???

 

can we see the $headers?

maybe:

$success = mail($email_address, $subject, $message, $headers);
if (!$success){	
//echo 9 never in here;
header("Location: ".$form_file."?msg=8");
} else {
header("Location: ".$form_file."?msg=7");
}

Code (markup):

 

Try to email something to your email like this

mail("youremail@domain.com","Test Email", "Test Message");

instead of "youremail@domain.com" set your email

 

@s_ruben, the original poster is using variables in the form that is why he cannot just use

mail("youremail@domain.com","Test Email", "Test Message");

Code (markup):

 

mail("youremail@domain.com","Test Email", "Test Message");

Code (markup):

It is only for checking the server. Maybe the server doesn't send emails at all.

 

ah, i see your meaning now... good idea...
