sendmail code suddenly not working

[mimintweak]

Hi Guys, I maintain 3 sites (including my own) I use the following code from a french webmaster that gave me permission to use it. He designed & coded one of them. Now the code seems to have stopped working for some reason, Is that usual?

<?php

 

$entetes = "From: $_POST[sender]" ;

$destinataire = "[email protected]";

$send_mail = mail($destinataire, $_POST[subject], $_POST[Message],$entetes);

if (!$send_mail)

{ echo "<p>Error while sending. Please contact us by phone.</p>" ; }

 

else

{ echo "<p>Your message has been sent successfully. Thank You for contacting us.</p>" ; }

?>

I would translate the french words if I was sure of what they meant, not sure what entetes is but assume destinaire is destination.

Appreciate any help

Any idea why it would just stop working? It has been working well for 12 months. Please someone take pity on me, not great with php. Is it because of my age. I am a senior

I presume entetes is is "email"

 

You could look into the 5th parameter to the mail function, if they have upgraded your server this could be the problem.

 

php.net/mail
