Hello!

 

I have a script on a website that is supposed to email users messages/alerts, and it was working fine on PHP 5.2, but doesn't work on PHP 5.4. It doesn't include any of the $variables in the email it sends. Any ideas? The webpage shows correctly, says it was sent, and sends a mostly blank email. (This is not all the code, but the important workings of it.) Is there something I need to reference differently for 5.4?

 

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!

 

<?php
