JasonLewis Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Refuses? Any errors? Try echoing out variables, or die() the variables at certain stages to track things. Usually problems like this can be solved by taking some basic error tracking steps to try and trace it. Just work through your script to find out where it isn't working.

DeanWhitehouse Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 this line won't work $mail = mail($mail,"Welcome to ".$site_name,$bericht,"From: ".$site_name." <".$site_mail.">"); you have it sending the email to mail($mail,"Welcome to ".$site_name,$bericht,"From: ".$site_name." <".$site_mail.">"); and why are you putting it in a variable anyway?

JasonLewis Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Putting it in a variable you can test if the mail was sent, as mail() returns true on success or false if it failed.

DeanWhitehouse Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 or you can just do if(mail()) { echo "mailed"; } else { echo "not"; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114643-forgotten-passwrod-script/#findComment-589608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 or you can just do if(mail()) { echo "mailed"; } else { echo "not"; } Of course, but there is nothing wrong with storing it in a variable.

samshel Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 the problem is the variable or mail not being sent? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114643-forgotten-passwrod-script/#findComment-590236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The mail isn't sent from his server for some reason. mail() is returning true but nothing is received.

samshel Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sorry a stupid(but primary) debug technique, but did you try if hard coded mail function works mail("[email protected]", "Test Mail", "Mail Body..."); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114643-forgotten-passwrod-script/#findComment-590244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well I got him to try that on a blank script, sending it to himself and me... Nothing. Didn't work. No errors.
