Simple PHP Contact Form

I'm having troubles with my contact form. It doesn't seem to be sending the e-mails to the address I specified. Everything else works fine. Could anyone help me out? Here's the code.

mailer.php

html code

 

Try adding:

ini_set("sendmail_from", "xxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com");

before your mail call.

 

No go. Anymore ideas?

 

Are you trying to use Hotmail to send? Or receive?

I have heard from others they have some onery filters.

 

Im trying to recieve the form onto a hotmail account.

Is Hotmail pulling on me what they do with any incoming gmail emails?

 

I saw a couple of threads here or at another forum where a person was unable to send to Hotmail accounts.

I copied your script and plan to upload it to my server later and then try to send mail to myself. If it works I will pm you the link so you can test it.

If I get any error message I will forward them to you.

 

Should be careful, mail() is vulnerable to mail injection attack for spammers

 

How so? And I doubt that the content that I have would intrest spammers in any way.

 

Check the phpinfo() output, if you host uses windows check there should be an smtp server configured, if not check the sendmail path is correct, but it'd probably be quicker to just email the host/search their support site.

If you did:

mail( "xxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com", "xxxxxxxxxxx Contact Form", $mtx_message, "From: ". $_POST['from']);

then a spammer could post from as "imaspammer@wespamlost.com\r\nBcc: Ididntaskfor@thisemail.com, etc..\r\n\r\nRead my spam!" and send email to whoever he wants via your form - you're not, so it won't effect you.
