kney Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Why doesn't this send the mail? if (isset($_POST['sendMail'])){ $to = "[email protected]"; $subject = "TEST email"; $message = " <html> <head> <title>HTML email</title> </head> <body> <p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p> <table> <tr> <th>Firstname</th> <th>Lastname</th> </tr> <tr> <td>John</td> <td>Doe</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> "; // Always set content-type when sending HTML email $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; // More headers $headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 you are using a sendmail() function, is this a custom function? what you want is the mail function Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1255857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyKay47 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 nothing stands out to me as being incorrect, if the mail function is not working, it will be sending errors to your error.log, do you have error_reporting set to E_ALL? if so, what errors are you receiving..?

kney Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I checked my spam folders, nothing's there. I also tried with 3 different email addresses and checked them if they were correct. The php.ini file has this configured: SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 mail.add_x_header = On mail.log = C:\ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1255870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 after you have done what i suggested answer this, are you on a localhost or a live host? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1255873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebStyles Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 you set smtp = localhost, so I assume you have an smtp server running on your machine? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1255875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kney Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 The page where I got the mail function from didn't say anything about a smtp server, only that i should put localhost after smtp Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1255877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Are you sure your $_POST['sendMail'] variable is set to that your code is even calling the mail() function? At a minimum, you should have error checking logic in your code to test the value mail() returns and display a success or failure message so that you know the result of calling the mail function.

AyKay47 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 seems like you do not have an SMTP server set up on your localhost, in my opinion, i never encourage tampering with sending mail until your webpage is on a live server.. the host will provide the mail server for you.. however there are also third party mail servers out there Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244504-php-mail-function/#findComment-1256311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
