[SOLVED] Form working, yet email isn't received?

[Heyzoos]

Hi,

 

I've had the following form working great on a website and it would send the email with the data.  A couple of days ago however, the form still accepts the information and goes to the 'thank you' page, yet now the email isn't coming through...???  Any ideas?  Here's the code for the pages:

 

On the form page:

 

<form action="process.php" method="POST">

 

On the 'process' page:

 

<?php

include("global.inc.php");

$errors=0;

$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";

pt_register('POST','name');

pt_register('POST','email');

pt_register('POST','S1');

pt_register('POST','Tour1');

pt_register('POST','T1');

pt_register('POST','Adults1');

pt_register('POST','FirstName');

pt_register('POST','SecondName');

pt_register('POST','Children1');

pt_register('POST','Children2');

pt_register('POST','Departure1');

pt_register('POST','Tour2');

pt_register('POST','T2');

pt_register('POST','Adults2');

pt_register('POST','FirstName2');

pt_register('POST','SecondName2');

pt_register('POST','Children21');

pt_register('POST','Children22');

pt_register('POST','Departure2');

pt_register('POST','Comments');

pt_register('POST','Cardtype');

pt_register('POST','Cardname');

pt_register('POST','Carddate');

pt_register('POST','Cardnumber');

pt_register('POST','Howfound');

if($email=="" ){

$errors=1;

$error.="<li>Please fill in your email address.";

}

if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email)){

$error.="<li>Invalid email address entered";

$errors=1;

}

if($errors==1) echo $error;

else{

$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));

$message = stripslashes($message);

mail("sales@mydomain.com","New Booking!",$message,"From: Online Booking Received");

 

header("Refresh: 0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/thanks.html");

?><?php

}

?>

 

 

On the 'global' page:

 

<?php

 

function pt_register()

{

  $num_args = func_num_args();

  $vars = array();

 

  if ($num_args >= 2) {

      $method = strtoupper(func_get_arg(0));

 

      if (($method != 'SESSION') && ($method != 'GET') && ($method != 'POST') && ($method != 'SERVER') && ($method != 'COOKIE') && ($method != 'ENV')) {

          die('The first argument of pt_register must be one of the following: GET, POST, SESSION, SERVER, COOKIE, or ENV');

    }

 

      $varname = "HTTP_{$method}_VARS";

      global ${$varname};

 

      for ($i = 1; $i < $num_args; $i++) {

          $parameter = func_get_arg($i);

 

          if (isset(${$varname}[$parameter])) {

              global $$parameter;

              $$parameter = ${$varname}[$parameter];

          }

 

      }

 

  } else {

      die('You must specify at least two arguments');

  }

 

}

 

?>

Have you tried just

 

<?php

mail('email@domain.com', 'test', 'test');

?>

 

If it doesn't work, it's probably a problem with the server

[Heyzoos]

Hi,

 

Thanks for that, yet it also doesn't work.  I've contacted the host and they say everything is fine on their end...???  Would/could there be an issue with SMTP?  Just a thought.

[MatthewJ]

have you tried sending to mulitiple addresses? I hit my head against the wall for about a week once thinking the code/server etc. was messed up, only to find out my isp had instituted a new spam filter that was catching it... Just a thought.

[Heyzoos]

Great idea...however just tried a few different email accounts from different servers and no luck  ???

Someone had the right idea in checking to see if it was mailing, but the code didn't give a response to whether or not the mail was actually sent. Try this and tell us what the output is:

 

<?php

echo (mail('email@domain.com', 'test', 'test')) ? "mail was sent" : "mail wasn't sent";

?>

 

(note: change email@domain.com to a real address)

 

Come back here and tell us what was displayed to the screen.

Hi,

 

Just tried it and received:

 

mail wasn't sent

[Buddski]

Is it possible that your host has changed a setting which is disabling the mail() function..Just a thought.

[Heyzoos]

not that i'm aware of...i just contacted their support department in regards to this, so hopefully will hear back soon...any other fix ideas?  anyone?  haku?

[haku]

If you ran that script exactly as I showed, with nothing else in other than what I showed, using a valid email address and not the one I showed, then there is a problem with your host. While the mail sent by that script may get filtered by junk mail filters, it should go out with no troubles at all.

[Heyzoos]

Just heard back from the hosting company, and yep, it was on their end.  Don't really understand why they 'turn things off', but hats off to all for your assistance with this!
