skubeedoo Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've got this email test script to test my server before installing a formmail script to make sure it's working. It isn't. My host is go daddy and they said the email should go through relay:hosting.secureserver.net I don't know what to do. Where does the relay:hosting.secureserver.net go? Here's the test script: <?php // Test PHP Email script by Nate Baldwin, www.mindpalette.com unset($email); unset($message); $errors = ""; $formStatus = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['formStatus'])) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['formStatus'] : ""; if ($formStatus == "submitted") { $email = (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['email'])) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'] : ""; if ($email == "") $errors .= "Please enter your email address before submitting form.<br>\n"; $emailPattern = "^[A-Z0-9._-]+@[A-Z0-9._-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$"; if ($email != "" AND !eregi($emailPattern, $email)) $errors .= "The email address entered does not to be a valid address for testing.<br>\n"; if ($errors == "") { $subject = "PHP Email Test"; $message = "If you receive this email, your server has successfully sent an email using PHP.\n"; @$mailStatus = mail($email, $subject, $message); if (!$mailStatus) $errors .= "Server error - PHP has not been configured to send out emails yet, sorry.<br>\n"; } } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="generator" content="Adobe GoLive"> <title>Test PHP Email Configuration</title> <style type="text/css" media="screen"><!-- body, div, td, p { color: black; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #c8c8c8 } a { color: #00417d; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none } a:link { color: #00417d; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none } a:visited { color: #00417d; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none } a:hover { color: #0064ff; font-size: 13px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: underline } .error { color: #c80019 } .success { color: #00417d } h1 { color: #00417d; font-size: 32px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Georgia, Times; font-weight: normal } strong { font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold } form { margin: 0; padding: 6px 0 } --></style> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div align="center"> <h1>Test PHP Email</h1> <p>To test your server's PHP email configuration, enter your valid<br> email address below and hit the "test now" button.</p> <hr width="75%"> <form id="FormName" action="#" method="post" name="FormName"> your email address: <input type="text" name="email" size="32"> <input type="hidden" name="formStatus" value="submitted"><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName" value="test now"> </form> <?php if ($formStatus == "submitted") { if ($errors != "") { print(" <hr width=\"75%\"> <span class=\"error\"><strong>ERROR:</strong><br> $errors</span><br> <br> "); } else { print(" <hr width=\"75%\"> <span class=\"success\"><strong>Success!</strong><br> Email message has been sent.<br> If you do not receive your email, try a different address.<br> If still no luck, your server's outgoing email may not be working right.<br> </span> "); } } ?><br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.mindpalette.com">www.mindpalette.com</a><br> </div> </body> </html> EDITED BY akitchin: added code tags - please use code tags in any future posts on these forums.

pkedpker Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 do daddy they do hosting? i thought they only gave .com domain names you sure go daddy is hosting your script? nothing you should worry about the php.ini go daddy is hosting your files should be already pre-configured to support mail() function perfectly. If not then google "godaddy mail function php" i did the google search for you and found this Sending Email using PHP from Godaddy host Godaddy has the php.ini file configured with all the information. This is the code to send a email using php is: PHP Code: <?php include_once("Mail.php"); ... $to = "support@software506.com"; $subject = "Email from php"; $body = "Hi \n this is a test"; mail($to, $subject, $body); ... this just works in the godaddy host, no for test locally. it works for me. just try it.
