PHP.ini & Form Mail Problem

pets2soul · October 6, 2008

Dear All,

I'm trying to make a form mail on an Apache 2.2 on Windows server, I have the php.ini file point to the

SMTP server our IT guy provided. But still, the email never come after the form is submitted.

I'm not sure if I have missed anything in my code...do I need to tell the handling file to find the SMTP

setting in php.ini?

I'm attaching my code here...please kindly let me know if anything should be changed. Or if the code

seems fine...Appreciate whole lot!!!

<?php

    //change this to your email
    $to = "receiver@domain.com";
    $from = $_POST['email'];
    $subject = "Audition Application";
$field1 = $_POST['familyname'];
$field2 = $_POST['givenname'];
$field4 = $_POST['dobdd'];
$field5 = $_POST['dobmm'];
$field6 = $_POST['dobyy'];

$field13 = $_POST['passportis'];
$field14 = $_POST['passportex'];
$field15 = $_POST['homeaddr'];
$field16 = $_POST['homephone'];
$field17 = $_POST['mobilephone'];
$field18 = $_POST['email'];
$field19 = $_POST['schoolname'];
$field20 = $_POST['teacher'];
$field21 = $_POST['experience1'];
$field22 = $_POST['experience2'];

The From header needs to be a valid email address held on the SMTP server, not an address a user provides.
