using php email

[simflex]

Hello again,

 

Again, I as for your understanding if my question is too lame.

 

In asp.net or classic ASP, you would need to specify ports, email domain etc before an email works.

 

My research has not turned up similar process with php.

 

For instance, the code below, when processed, throws an error about email address not being valid.

 

I know the email address is but what is missing?

Please have a look. Again, thanks to all very much.

 

 

// Mail portion

[b]$emailrcpt [/b] = 'myname@domainName.com' ;

if ($mailevent==1) {
$nobody = $emailrcpt ;
if ($userlogin==1) {
  if (isset($_SESSION["login"])) {
	$nobody = $_SESSION["login"] ;
  }
}

$catquery = "select cat_name from ".$CAT_TB." where cat_id=$cat" ;
$catresult = mysql_query($catquery);
$catrow = mysql_fetch_object($catresult) ;

$mailhead = translate("Date").": ".$bday." ".$mth[$bmonth]." ".$byear ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."\r\n".translate("From").": " ;
if ($time12hour==1) $mailhead = $mailhead.show12hour($stime) ;
else $mailhead = $mailhead.$stime ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."     ".translate("To").": " ;
if ($time12hour==1) $mailhead = $mailhead.show12hour($etime) ;
else $mailhead = $mailhead.$etime ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."\r\n".translate("Category").": ".stripslashes($catrow->cat_name) ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."\r\n".translate("Event Title").": ".stripslashes(stripslashes($title)) ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."\r\n".translate("Event Description").": \r\n\r\n" ;
$mailhead = $mailhead."\r\n".translate("Location").": ".stripslashes(stripslashes($loc)) ;
$maildesc = "\r\n\r\n".translate("Email").": ".$email ;
$maildesc = $maildesc."\r\n".translate("More info").": ".$url ;

//	echo "<h3>".$mailhead."</h3>";

mail($emailrcpt, "Event updated - ".stripslashes(stripslashes($title))." (".$bday." ".$mth[$bmonth]." ".$byear.") ", $mailhead.stripslashes(stripslashes(str_replace("<br />","",$description))).$maildesc,
     "From: ".$nobody."\r\n"
    ."Reply-To: ".$nobody."\r\n");
}

I don't see where $emailrcpt is defined.
