liamloveslearning Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi all, I have a form on my website that uses the following code to process a form, its a very very basic simple thing <?php $firstname = $_POST["firstName"]; $lastname = $_POST["lastName"]; $company = $_POST["company"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $telephone = $_POST["telephone"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; mail( "[email protected]", "Able Projects Enquiry", $firstName,$lastName, $company, $telephone, $message, "From: $email" ); ?> however, no mail is being sent, Can anybody cast there eyes over the script and see why? or could this be a server mail problem?

liamloveslearning Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 sorry wrong script! <?php $firstname = $_POST["firstName"]; $lastname = $_POST["lastName"]; $company = $_POST["company"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $telephone = $_POST["telephone"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; mail( "[email protected]", "Able Projects Enquiry", $message, "From: $email" ); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/209009-mail-form-not-processing/#findComment-1091701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The From: email address must be a valid mail box at the sending mail server. The email address that a visitor enters should be put into the Reply-to: address in the extra header.

Pikachu2000 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Read the manual for the mail() function, and it should be apparent what the problem is.

liamloveslearning Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 can I just ask, is php.net manual written for the advanced users? I cant see where it states what 'bool' even means?

Pikachu2000 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's an abbreviation for boolean (TRUE/FALSE or 1/0). You can usually enter any term you aren't familiar with in the search box in the upper right of the manual page, and narrow things down a bit. It can be a little confusing for a beginner, but you'll find it easier as you progress.
