    I actually had $headers = 'From: $email'; initially and it didn't work either. Single quotes OR double quotes got same result

    Not sure exactly what my problem is here, but i have looked at this at least a hundred times and I just can't figure out what is going on. Everything works great except for the sending the email part. It displays the error "There was a problem sending the mail". The form field checking works fine, the insert into mysql works fine - - but it won't send the email. I have tried using double quotes and single quotes for the email information ($to, $subject, etc...) I have even eliminated the form data from the email information and it still doesn't send. I am hopelessly stuck at this point Any ideas?? Code below: <html> <body bgcolor = 'blue'> <div align = 'center'> <h1>test FORM</h1> </div> <p> <?php If ($_POST['submit']) //if the Submit button pressed { //collect form data $fname = $_POST['FName']; $lname = $_POST['LName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $tel = $_POST['Tel']; $mess = $_POST['Mess']; $errorstring = ""; if (!$fname) $errorstring = $errorstring."First Name<br>"; if (!$lname) $errorstring = $errorstring."Last Name<br>"; if (!$email) $errorstring = $errorstring."Email<br>"; if ($errorstring !="") echo "<div align = 'center'><b>Please fill out the following fields:</b><br><font color = 'red'><b>$errorstring</b></font></div>"; else { $fname = mysql_real_escape_string($fname); $lname = mysql_real_escape_string($lname); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($email); $tel = mysql_real_escape_string($tel); $mess = mysql_real_escape_string($mess); $con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("mec", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO formtest (FName, LName, Title, Tel, Email, Mess) VALUES ('$fname','$lname','$title','$tel','$email','$mess')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } $to = 'myemailaddress'; $subject = 'test form'; $message = 'Hello'; $headers = 'From Me'; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); if($sent) {print "Email successfully sent";} else {print "There was an error sending the mail";} mysql_close($con); } } ?> <p> <form action= 'testmecform.php' method= 'POST'> <table width = '640' border = '0' align = 'center'> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>First Name</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'FName' value = '<?php echo $fname; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td><div align = 'right'><b>Telephone</b></div></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'Tel' value = '<?php echo $tel; ?>' size = '25'></td> </tr> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>Last Name</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'LName' value = '<?php echo $lname; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>Email</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'Email' value = '<?php echo $email; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><b>Please enter any additional information here:</b></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><textarea name = 'Mess' cols = '50' rows = '10'><?php echo $mess; ?></textarea></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><b>Please make sure all information is correct before submitting</b></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><input type = 'submit' name = 'submit' value = 'Submit Form'></th> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>

    This issue was resolved on another forum, but I figured I should post the solution here as well for anyone else who runs into this same problem. It all amounts to case-sensitivity, whereas in one section of code I have capital letters in the variable name, and lower-case in another section. I looked at this at least 2 dozen times and didn't catch it. This is where having another set of eyes (or many sets hehe) can spot a problem that is right in front of our nose Thanks to all who replied with tips and/or suggestions! The actual forum post link is here: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1326332.html#post1326332

    I haven't had a chance to make these changes yet, but I will work it in this evening. Any idea about why the email doesn't send??

    Our server is Windows Server 2003 with IIS 7. Yes, I know that the mail works because I tested it. I think I just have typical newbie mistakes in my code, but since I am new to php, I haven't yet figured out what those are

    So you are saying that I should declare ALL my form post items as variables in this manner *$Fname = addslashes($_POST['Fname']);* for better security? OK. I will work on this later this evening and get back to you. Thanks.

    I have a form on our website that a user can fill out for custom product. I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department. 1) The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason) 2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly. I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your analysis. I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly. Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance. I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine. If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.
