mail() error

[Eskimo]

I'm trying to put the php function mail() into my website but it seems to not be working.

I have put a condition on it to test, and it keeps failing, which leads me to believe its my code, or the server I'm running it on.

The code is thus:

[code]
<?php

$to = "my@email.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}

?>[/code]

That's all that exists in the script.  Whenever I run it, I get a Message delivery failed error.

Is there anything wrong with the code?  And, if not, what can be done to make this work?

Thanks all.

make sure error reporting is turned on and that error reporting is set to E_ALL.

[code]ini_set("display_errors", 1);
ini_set("error_reporting", "E_ALL");[/code]

How do I turn error reporting on and set to E_ALL?

you have to paste that at the top of your script, just so you no. :)
(paste what hitman6003 posted). :P

That doesn't do anything.

it may be your server or port then. not sure if it makes a difference but remove the if statement so you just have the variables and the mail function there.

I have tested this using two different hosting services.  Using the exact same scipt on each.  It works on one, but doesn't on the other.

Is there anything that needs to be enabled for it to work?

[code]
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

$to = "my@email.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
mail($to, $subject, $body);


?>[/code]

paste the following in a file and load it, that will output an error and someone might actually be able to help you then.....
