[SOLVED] mail() doesn't work

[dennismonsewicz]

I am trying to use the mail() function on my server and it doesn't work. I tried it on another server and it works fine, but not on the current server.

 

Code:

 

<?php

$Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name
$email = "dennismonsewicz@gmail.com"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "dennismonsewicz@gmail.com"; //recipient
$mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "testing"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

if(mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header)) {
echo '<p>Mail sent successfully...</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Mail delivery impossible!</p>';
} //mail command 
?>

 

I receive the "Mail delivery impossible" when I try running the page on one server and the "Mail sent successfully..." on another server

 

Any ideas?

Your outgoing mail server needs to be set up on the one that isn't working.

Add the following two lines immediately after your <?php tag -

 

ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);

thanks for the help... I was able to locate the address for our SMTP server and adjust the php.ini file accordingly
