mail() help

[RaythMistwalker]

if(isset($_POST['send']))  {
    $to = "myemail@domain.com";
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $name_field = $_POST['name'];
    $email_field = $_POST['email'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

    $body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
     
    mail($to, $subject, $body);
    $error = 'Message Sent.';

}

I'm getting no errors and it is returning the Message Sent message. I'm also not getting the email.

You need to include mail headers. Look at the examples on http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

[otuatail]

you also need to add a 5th section to your mail function like

 

mail($to,$subject, $message, $headers, '-froot@mywebsite.com') // where this is your website

Just to ask the obvious:  does your sever support outgoing mail, and do you have permission to use it?
