BlueSkyIS Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 the script appears to hit exit; before the HTML is reached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE117 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 dont state exit if the database does not connect exit not only stops php but everything from there down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 if you want the database to connect but it doesn't, you certainly want to exit. there is a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentofstone Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 ok, now it gives me mail sent but the email isn't getting there. I am using eclipse and have error reporting on at the server. there are no error messages. that means I am either telling the program to do something wrong, or not telling it to do something i need it to do. mail("$email", "$subject", "$message", "$headers", "From: $from"); $mail_sent = @mail("$email", "$subject", "$message", "$headers", "From: $from"); echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
