code looks fine. are you running this on a server you setup or a hosting service? and what OS is the server running?

[Lee-Bartlett]

This is on my own domain, got from The Planet Internet Services, Inc and my OS is mac, if thats what you mean.

If you are running your own web server then you need to configure mail within the php.ini file.  This is configured automatically on a hosted server.

 

http://uk.php.net/mail should have all the info you need

well...wherever the webserver is running, and this script is being run, you should check your PHP settings. Here are the ones related to mail:

if it is on a hosting service...it *should* be configured properly, but that might now always be true. you can always give their tech support a call and tell them to look at it
