The code is below

-------mailer.php--------

<?php

extract($_POST);

if (!file_exists("config.php"))

{

$host = $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST ];

$path = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

$file_path = $path['dirname'];

Try reproducing your error in as few line as possible. Then post that code.

I dont think there is anything wrong with the code, as it is working on localhost, and i am receiving mail. Once i upload it to my web based server and run it php, the email says it is sent but i dont receive any email.

Any ideas as to the problem?

only one · April 2, 2007

check phpinfo(); to see if you have the mail(); function enabled

pauldonnelly23 · April 2, 2007

phpinfo doesnt say anything to do with mail(); function,

should i upload my PHP Folder and PHPmyAdmin as well??

only one · April 2, 2007

check your webhost, does it say it allows the mail() function?

if its freehostia or awardspace your mail() functions wont work

I am using Fasthosts and as i am aware it allows it.
