Quite simple my mail is failing to send. The $_POST variable is not echo ing after being reassigned to $message and $email is not appearing either to satisfy the mail() function.

 

 

how do you know the email is not being sent? what exact symptom, error, or output are you getting from your code and what output did you expect?

 

where in the posted code are you echoing the message at?

 

how do you know that the $email isn't somehow satisfying the mail() function. there are many levels of satisfaction and unless we know your standard, we are left guessing what that statement means.

 

short-answer: were are not there with you and don't know what you saw when you ran your code. the information you supply must concisely communicate what did happened, what should have happened, and for the case of echoing things in the code, post that code, not some other code.
