Email script does not send email

[billy_111]

Hey,

 

Does anyone know why this email script does not send an email? It does not give me any errors but the email does not send..

 

This is the code:

 

<?php
$message = '';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

if(isset($_POST['tick'])){
	$tick = "No";
} else {
	$tick = "Yes";
}

if($_POST['name'] != "" && $_POST['address_1'] != "" && $_POST['postcode'] != "" && $_POST['email'] != "" && $_POST['tel_mobile'] != "" && $_POST['DOB'] != "" && $_POST['dietary'] != ""){

	// Send email to info @ 		
	$msg = "<h3>New Member Registration</h3>

			<table>
				<tr>
		        	<td>How did you hear about Glo Family</td>
		       		<td>".$tick."</td>
 		        </tr>
			</table>
				";
		$to = "[email protected]";
		$from = "[email protected]";
		$subject = "New registration Glo Family website";
		$headers  = "From: $from\r\n";
		$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

		mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

} else {
	$message = "<div class='error'>Please fill in all required * fields.</div>";  
}
}
?>

 

Am i doing something wrong?

 

Thanks

Are your conditions allowing the script to get to the mail() function?

 

Are you on a local server like WAMP?  Is sendmail configured properly?

 

You gotta handle any possible errors so you know where you (and your user) know where the script is at:

 

change:

 

mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

 

to:

 

if ($mail = @mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)) {
    echo 'Mail sent!';
}
else {
    echo 'Mail not sent...';
}

 

At least this way we can see if it's the mail() function which would in turn, usually, be an issue with the mail server.

 

Also, check your error logs.

I realised that the email was being sent but not to certain email accounts.

 

This is my new code:

 

$from = "[email protected]";
            $headers = "From: $from";
            $to = "[email protected]";
            
            $subject = "New registration Glo Family website";
                    
            //begin of HTML message
                $message = <<<EOF
            <html>
              <body>
                  <div style='background:#e1e1e1; padding:10px'>
                        <h3>New Member Registration</h3>    
                                        
                        <br>
                        
                        <table>        
                            <tr>
                                <td>Name:</td><td>$_POST[name]</td></tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Address 1:</td><td>$_POST[address_1]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Address 2:</td><td>$_POST[address_2]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Postcode:</td><td>$_POST[postcode]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Email address:</td><td>$_POST[email]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Tel no - home:</td><td>$_POST[tel_home]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Tel no - work:</td><td>$_POST[tel_work]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Tel no - mobile:</td><td>$_POST[tel_mobile]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Date of Birth:</td><td>$_POST[DOB]</td>
                            </tr>     
                            <tr>
                                <td>Delivery date (if appropriate):</td><td>$_POST[delivery]</td></tr>     
                        </table>
                
                        <br/>
                
                        <table>        
                            <tr>
                                <td>Name of other adults:</td><td>Postcode</td>
                            </tr>     
</table>
                    </div>            
                    <br>
                    
                    <b>glofamily.com</b>
                    
                    <br><br>
                    
                    <i>p.s. please do not reply to this email.</i>
              </body>
            </html>

EOF;
               //end of message
                $headers  = "From: $from\r\n";
                $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
                $headers .= "Cc: [email protected]";

            mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 

 

Now the email is being sent to the @hotmail.co.uk account, but not to the @freemanholland.com account. The email is being sent but i dont know why i don't receive it on the other account..

 

What could be the cause of this? The @freemanholland.com account is a work email, which i am using for testing purposes, we actually set up webmail for clients through work, the email i will send this to when ig et it working if [email protected]..

 

As the info@account will be on the same server as the @Freemanholland account i think i will have the same problem..

 

How can i resolve this, it's stupid that it sends to one and not the other..

 

Thanks

I have even tried doing this:

 

mail('[email protected]', 'test', 'TEST'); 

 

And it does not send an email..

 

Where could the problem be?

From reading http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

 

In the additional_headers description:

Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not comply with » RFC 2822. 

 

Just suggestion though... but as it says, it shouldn't be standard.
