Just try with below functions and if it's working fine then your code may have some problem otherwise your mail server has some problem. function send_mail($myname, $myemail, $contactname, $contactemail,$subject, $message){ $headers =""; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html;\n\tcharset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; $headers .= "To: \"$contactname\" <$contactemail>\n"; return( mail( $contactemail, $subject, urldecode($message), $headers ) ); } //////////////////OR///////////////// function send_mail($myname, $myemail, $contactname, $contactemail,$subject, $message){ return( mail( $contactemail, $subject, urldecode($message), $headers ) ); }
I was experiencing problems such as this when I first moved away from using the PHP mail() command to send html messages etc. I eventually moved to using the PHP Mailer class that I downloaded and installed which has made the process of sending emails with my scripts much easier. I know this doesn't answer the query but you might find a similar solution helpful? Jonathan
