mail();

[plutomed]

This bit of code all works fine up to sending the email. I don't receive it.

 

<h2>Send us an E-Mail</h2>

<?

if($_POST['name'])
{

echo "Your message has ben sent, a copy has been forwarded to your E-Mail.";

$Name = $_POST['name'];
$Email = $_POST['email'];
$Subject = $_POST['subject'];
$Message = wordwrap($_POST['message'], 70);

mail(str_replace("££", "@","me££plutomedia.net"), "Harrison Technology site - ".$Subject, $Message, "From:".$Name."<".$Email.">"."\r\n"."Reply-To:".$Email);

}

?>

<form action="/contact" method="post">
<table>
    	<tr>
        	<td><label>Name: </label></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="name" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        	<td><label>Subject: </label></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="subject" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        	<td><label>Email: </label></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="email" /></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        	<td><label>Message: </label></td>
            <td><textarea name="message" cols="100" rows="20"></textarea></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        	<td></td>
        	<td><input type="submit" value="Send" /> <input type="reset" value="Clear" /></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>

Is there a way to check if an E-Mail has been sent via php?

[samshel]

u can check if it is sent..the mail() function returns it, but it does not tell u whether it reached the destination properly or not.

 

u have to configure something like smtp to actually send mail. PHP mail() function uses it, it itself is not a mail engine.

I'm using a hosting company and they have all that set up. It has worked before in the past. Can you see a problem in the code atall?

[samshel]

try sending a simple mail..if it works , problem is with code, else it is with mail setup

 

mail("[email protected]", "test", "test", 'From: TEST <[email protected]>');

 

and yes check ur spam mail folder too

[plutomed]

Hmm...Must be the mail setup.

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

 

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

 

Most likely cause for your mail server to not send the email or for the receiving mail server to reject it - The From: address must be a mail box hosted at the sending mail server.

[plutomed]

<?

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

mail("<email>", "test", "test");

?>

 

That is my code. I get no error and no email.

do you have access to the mail queue?

 

if you don't, or don't know what that is, your web host does.

 

you can check the mail queue to see if the mail is placed in there, which is where it goes immediately after php executes the mail function

 

 

I see you're using the short tag <?

Have you tried using the regular <?php ?

[plutomed]

I would have to email them then and they take a while to respond.

 

I use the short tags for everything and that works but I'll give it a go.

 

Long tags didn't make a difference.

You may not have the PHP mail() function enabled on your server. A lot of people have this problem. As an alternative, you can use PHP Pearl's Mail via SMTP. If you have SMTP, e-mail me for more info: [email protected]

[plutomed]

How do you know if it's enabled?
