Hi PHP Freaks,

I am currently having trouble with my mailing script. When I load it in the browser it comes up with the following error:

500 Internal Server Error

 

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@domain-name.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

 

There is no errors in the error_log and in the email failure email sent to my webmaster email it says it contained no recipient address but I have set that in the code.

 

Here is the Code

HTML Form:

<form method="post" action="mail.php">
	 <label for="firstname">Firstname:</label>
	 <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" value="" />
<label for="lastname">Lastname:</label>
	 <input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname" value="" />
	 <label for="email_address">Email Address:</label>
	 <input type="text" name="email_address" id="email_address" value="" />
<label for="subject">Subject:</label>
<select name="subject" id="subject">
<option name="request_appointment" id="request_appointment" value="Request an Appointment">Request an Appointment</option>
<option name="request_callback" id="request_callback" value="Request a Call-Back">Request a Call-Back</option>
<option name="question" id="question" value="I Have a Question">I Have a Question</option>
<option name="emergency" id="emergency" value="Emergency">Emergency (Call 0422 036 768)</option>
<option name="other" id="other" value="Other">Other</option>
</select><br />
	 <label for="message">Message:</label>
	 <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="45" rows="10"></textarea>
	 <button type="submit" value="submit"><span>Submit</span></button>
	 </form>
