[/quote]

should be <?php mail('myMail@yahoo.com','My Subject', 'something'); ?>

you only changed "<? " to "<?php".
well... i've checked it anyway and it doesn't work.
thanks anyway.

The use of "<?" instead of "<?php" just indicates that the OP has short tags enabled.

Since the OP is sending to yahoo.com, you should supply at least a "From: " address in the fourth parameter and the domain in it should be the same as the domain of the web site.

[code]<?php
$from = "From: your name <youremail@thisdomain.com>\n";
mail('myMail@yahoo.com', 'My Subject', 'something',$from);
?>[/code]
