mail function

[terri8787]

I think I need a second set of eyes. I've done mail functions before in php with no problems but I can't get this one to work for anything. My success message populates after I hit send so it doesn't appear there are any errors. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

　

<?

 

 

php

//If the form is submitted

if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

//Check to see if the honeypot captcha field was filled in

if(trim($_POST['checking']) !== '') {

$captchaError = true;

} else {

//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty

if(trim($_POST['yourName']) === '') {

$nameError = 'You forgot to enter your first name.';

$hasError = true;

} else {

$name = trim($_POST['yourName']);

}

//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted

if(trim($_POST['email']) === '') {

$emailError = 'You forgot to enter your email address.';

$hasError = true;

} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {

$emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.';

$hasError = true;

} else {

$email = trim($_POST['email']);

}

//Check to make sure comments were entered

if(trim($_POST['comments']) === '') {

$commentError = 'You forgot to enter your comments.';

$hasError = true;

} else {

if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {

$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['comments']));

} else {

$comments = trim($_POST['comments']);

}

}

//If there is no error, send the email

if(!isset($hasError)) {

$emailTo = 'territindle@hotmail.com';

$subject = 'Benefit Request from '.$name;

$sendCopy = trim($_POST['sendCopy']);

$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments: $comments";

$headers = 'From: The Website <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);

if($sendCopy == true) {

$subject = 'You emailed Your Name';

$headers = 'From: Your Name <territindle@hotmail.com>';

mail($email, $subject, $body, $headers);

}

$emailSent = true;

}

}

}

?>

Have you checked the return values from mail()? If they're returning true then, as far as PHP is concerned, the emails have been sent - check your spam folder.

'true' is being returned.

 

Nothing in the junk/spam folder. I've tried several different email addresses in the to and from fields.

 

This is a new server that was set up for us. PHP works on it as proved by using the 'echo' function. Is there some setting that has to be tweaked to allow emails to be sent?

Make sure the "mail function" options are set up correctly in the servers master php.ini file.
