kenrbnsn Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 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]Ken Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3794-mail-problem/#findComment-13296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
