MAIL FUNCTION ERROR W/GO DADDY

cpopera · April 9, 2009

Help, I'm pulling out what little hair I have left. Setting up a website for a friend designed by another person who has since disappeared. I have everything running except the "contact us" email form which is in PHP coding. Received an error on the mail() function so GoDaddy had me replace that line of coding with $mail->Host = " relay-hosting.secureserver.net"; No more errors! Now if I could just receive the email generated from the website I would be happy. Any suggestions? Code is as follows:

<?php

include_once("send_to.php");

$Submit = $_POST['Submit'];

$comment = $_POST['comment'];

$company = $_POST['company'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$name = $_POST['name'];

$inq_select = $_GET['inq_select'];

//--------------------

if($Submit){

$subject="Quotation by $name Tel.no. $company ";

$content="Message from $name \n $company \n Request needed: \n $comment";

mail($mailt, $subject, $content,"From: $email");

$mail->Host = " relay-hosting.secureserver.net";

?>

Email would be fantastic. Thank you for responding so quickly.

The $mail->Host = " relay-hosting.secureserver.net"; code has nothing to do with the code you posted. It is part of a mailer class that the code is not even using.

What was the error before you made that change, because all you apparently did was to replace a line that was generating an error with a useless line of code that does nothing (and is probably generating an error if error_reporting was set to show all types of errors.)

I was getting a server error code 451 while using the following line of code

mail($mailt, $subject, $content,"From: $email");

The posted code produces a fatal parse error because it is missing the last }.

On a system that is not showing all types of errors, you will get a blank page. The "fix" you made simply stopped the code from executing so any real runtime error it was having is not occurring yet because the code never runs.

What was the code before you changed it? Is that the full error message? If not, what is the full error message?

Error code is as follows:

If you visit the link that is in the error message (less the dot on the end of it) http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html you will find that the mail system is expecting CRLF instead of just LF in the message. You would need to replace \n with \r\n

The mail system should be doing this for you in the mail body, so it might be that either $mailt (which your code does not contain) or $email has a \n on the end of it that should be removed instead.

As a side note, the From: address should be a valid email address hosted on the sending mail server. You should be putting any user supplied email address into the Reply-to: header. And you should be validating all external data to prevent mail header injection that would allow a spammer to send his email through your mail server.

Hello!

I'm having the same issue. I have tried everything... I have read through numerous forums and instructions involving GoDaddy, my current e-mail carrier etc.

Here is my error: "
