PHP autoresponder form won't show "Thank You" string

[antray]

I have been using a php form with a built-in autoresponder for three years now and I have been having problems with it on our new server. It sends an email to the user and the sales staff fine, but it doesn't show a "thank you for your request" message once submitted. This message is containted in a "$thanks" variable.

Our old server uses PHP version 4.3.8 and is on a windows NT server.
Our new one is version 4.4.2-1+b1 on Linux.

URL on virtual Apache server: [a href=\"http://gndzero.com/order-test.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://gndzero.com/order-test.php[/a]

code is below:

[code]
<?php

// MODIFY THE FOLLOWING SECTION

// your name
$recipientname = "Sales Staff";


// your email
$recipientemail = "elmore@gndzero.com, sales@gndzero.com";

// subject of the email sent to you
$subject = "Online-Form Response for $recipientname";

// send an autoresponse to the user?
$autoresponse = "yes";

// subject of autoresponse
$autosubject = "Thank you for your Order!";

$autocontact = "$Name";
// autoresponse message
$automessage = "Dear $Name,

It's the virutal server thats having the problem. I just uploaded it to my domain and it works perfectly.

When a php form is on a virtual server, does that effect how it works? It points to "http://" not "www" until I switch DNS over to our new servers permanently..
