is the server setup to send mail ?

[chriscloyd]

yes
lol

I don't know if this is it, but the "Headers" portion (the 4th argument is not entered correctly.

Change the following:
[quote]mail($email,$subject,$message,"From $from")[/quote]

to:

[quote]mail($email,$subject,$message,"From:$from")[/quote]

And just to confirm that your server IS able to send messages try the following:

[quote]mail([b]"your_emailaddress"[/b],"Test Subject","This is a test message")[/quote]

if i dont get one what can i do to make mail() work on my server

[doni49]

One step at a time.  It's called trouble shooting.  If the test message doesn't arrive after doing that, then I think that PHP is not configured to send email.

[chriscloyd]

ya
phpinfo();
what do i look for

[matto]

You should see something like this

sendmail_path


Is the server windows or unix?
