i have the following forgot password page;

<?php
session_start();  // Start Session
session_register("session");
// This is displayed if all the fields are not filled in
$empty_fields_message = "<p>Please go back and complete all the fields in the form.</p>Click <a class=\"two\" href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\">here</a> to go back";
// Convert to simple variables  
$email = $_POST['email'];
if (!isset($_POST['email'])) {

if i edit the "mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: yoursite.com Webmaster<[email protected]>\n"

line to match my site it doesnt send the email? why is this?

It's hard to tell from your explanation, but I'll try to help.

Are you getting an error? What exactly are you changing the example? Are you accidentally removing the "\n" before the X-Mailer header?

jacko_162 · March 22, 2010

no for some reason if i change:

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: yoursite.com Webmaster<[email protected]>\n

to

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: myreeftests.com Webmaster<[email protected]>\n

the mail doesnt get sent, but if i leave it at the default it sends but the headers are obviously wrong..? its VERY odd..

What happens when you remove the 4th argument completely?
