Hi Pikachu2000, Thanks for your help. I should have said that previously I had the 'if ($mailSent) { echo 'Mail Sent'; } else { echo 'Mail not sent'; }' statement and this was returning back with the else response when the mail was actually sent. The var_dum($mailSent) returns NULL.

Hi, I'm pretty new to PHP and I am working on a form that sends and email. I want to display a message if the mail can't be sent (i.e. if mail() returns false) and a different message if mail() returns true, except it is returning false even though the emails are sending. Basically I have used: $to = 'myemail@email.com'; $subject = "Subject Line Goes here"; $headers = "From: $email"; $message = 'My message'; $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); In testing it I have used the following to determine what is going on: if (isset($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; } - echo's nothing if ($mailSent == FALSE) { echo '$mailSent = FALSE'; } - echo's '$mailSent = FALSE' if ($mailSent == TRUE) { echo '$mailSent = TRUE'; } - echo's nothing if (is_null($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent = NULL'; } - echo's '$mailSent = NULL' echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; - echo's '$mailSent =' Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
