PHP email dilema

[hedjr01]

Hi folks,

 

I cannot seem to get my php email system to work. It fails to send email messages to recipients contained in a MySql db when using the form below. Visitors click on a profile ('offer') page of a given advertiser ($AgentName) contained in the "yellow_agents" db table, then can click a link to the form below to send the advertiser an email. It all seems to operate ok, but no email arrives. Each "Agent" has an email address in the db.

 

To test I set myself up as an advertiser with a valid email address, then used the form to send myself a message. None appeared. Everything else looks ok, so I am guessing this is a script error.

 

I checked in MySql to verify that each recipient has a valid email address in the db and that the db field name (email) matches the script. So that seems ok. That's about the extent of my abilities. I am hoping someone could look over the following form and script and see if you can spot any errors I have missed. This form and script came as part of a software package that did not include a php.ini file. If I am not showing the correct script files for review, pls. advise. I'm new at this. Thanks!!

Anyone see an error or inconsistency in these??  Thanks!!!

//donotmail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

Perhaps you want to uncomment that and try again?

 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
