I have a client who would like an email contact form on their page, but where I am hosting their website, they do not allow the phpmail () (and they are running php 5). I've asked around in several places and some people have told me to use a phpmailer or a phpmailer class along with an account such as Gmail that allows SMTP (which the client does have an account on Gmail also). Below is my original code that I coded, but wont run on the host where I have the website on (which is Mezoka). I've read some examples and about both the phpmailer and the phomailer class, but its a little confusing to me.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    $body = $_POST["message"];

    mail($to,$body,$headers);

    echo "Mail sent to $to";

A subject like the headline

Email body - The main part of an email message containing the actual, arbitrary data such as text or images. As opposed to the header, which contains control and meta-information

 

gmail - this code will work.

 

Tested it with Gmail and it does not work. Not too sure if I didnt call something right in my html or if its where I am hosting my site (its mezoka, they allow php 5, but not phpmail () ).
