Mail() Function Troubleshooting

[boldspud]

I am no expert in php, but I have done enough research to know that my code is not the problem in this instance.  I am simply trying to get the mail() function working to set up a webform on a website.

 

Here is the code I'm using :

<?php

$Name = "Da Duder";

$email = "[email protected]";

$recipient = "[email protected]";

$mail_body = "The text for the mail...";

$subject = "Subject for reviever";

$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n";

 

ini_set('sendmail_from', '[email protected]');

 

mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);

?>

 

So how do I track down the error in this function non-functionality?  Again, I'm new to this, so apologies if this is super easy.

Does it work if you take out the line:

 

ini_set('sendmail_from', '[email protected]');

 

I've never seen that in a mail function before... but I could use that if it works!

Just tried it.  Didn't help, unfortunately    That was a line I found online, that people said could help someone with a similar problem.
