Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Can you try doing a test without the from and see if that works? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22830-php-error/#findComment-102870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krizzone Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Can you be more specific? Like I said, I'm really new to php. The only way I'm testing it is from the webpage and I keep getting that error.

mschrank Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hmm, why are you putting newlines at the end of your string arguements? (\r\n)Could that be it? I'd get rid of them and see.

krizzone Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 That's how the script is by default. It's for a website. Every page is pretty much php but I'm only having problems with the 'Contact' page.Any other ideas. It says email is sent when I test it but I don't receive anything. Why and how would I go about fixing it? Do I need to mess with MySQL?
