Slow processing - Email

[tapupartforpres]

Hello all.  Got a quick question.  I have a form posting to a SQL database.  Form works great, saves to the SQL file fine and quickly.  Now, I added a couple lines at the end of the code to email to a person here in the office the results.  It is working, but very slowly.  Does anyone have any insight on why this is happening?  Thanks

 

// Configuration Settings
$SendFrom =    "Talk to Us <*****@***********.com>";
$SendTo =      "*****@***********.com";
$SubjectLine = "Talk to Us";
$Divider =     "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~";

// Build Message Body from Web Form Input
$MsgBody = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]) . "\n$Divider\n";
foreach ($_POST as $Field=>$Value)
   $MsgBody .= "$Field: $Value\n";
$MsgBody .= "$Divider\n" . $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] . "\n";
$MsgBody = htmlspecialchars($MsgBody);  //make content safe

// Send E-Mail and Direct Browser to Confirmation Page
mail($SendTo, $SubjectLine, $MsgBody, "From: $SendFrom");
header("Location: $ThanksURL");

What do you mean by it is working "slowly"?

 

Does the form take a while to send after you hit submit,  or does the e-mail take a while to arrive in your co-workers inbox?

This could be a DNS issue. Does your server resolve names properly?

If you take out the email part of the script so its just the database insert does the script run quickly?
