I'm trying to get php to email me. I'm getting no errors but i'm not recieving any emails either.

$to = "[email protected]";
$from = $user;
$header = "photo";
$message = $smallimage;

mysql_select_db($database_elvisdb, $elvisdb);
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO images (imageName, bigimagename, usnm) VALUES ('$smallimage', '$smallpics', '$user')");

  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $elvisdb) or die(mysql_error());
  
  header("Location: logdonuserpage.php");
  mail($to,$from, $message);
}

Heres the settings in my php.ini-

[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = smtp.tiscali.co.uk

smtp_port = 25

 

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = [email protected]

 

 

what is wrong?

Thanks.

It's not in my spam folder.

 

I've done new coding-

$user = ($_SESSION['MM_Username']);

$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";
if (isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) {
  $colname_Recordset1 = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_SESSION['MM_Username'] : addslashes($_SESSION['MM_Username']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_elvisdb, $elvisdb);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM images WHERE usnm = '$user'", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset1, "text"));
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $elvisdb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$from = $row_Recordset2['usnm'];
$photo = $row_Recordset2['imageName'];
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
$to = "[email protected]";
$header = "photo";
mail($to,$from,$header,$message);

?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
registration complete 
</body>
</html>
<?php
mysql_free_result($Recordset1);
?>

 

and i get error

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\epeople\regcomplete.php on line 48

registration complete

 

Even though i haven't changed my php.ini file.
