Mail problems.

[jabapyth]

I have tried:
<?php
mail('[email protected]', 'Subject', 'Your message here.',
"To: The Receiver <[email protected]>\n" .
"From: The Sender <[email protected]>\n")
?>

and I don't get an error, but I also don't recieve the email. What am I doing wrong?

example below:

[code]$subject = "New Password For $username";
$message = "Hi $username,\n we have reset your password.
\n
New Password: $random_password
\n
$siteurl/login.php
\n
Thanks!
$admin_email
\n
This is an automated message system, please do not reply!";

mail($email_address,$subject,$message,"From:$admin_email ");
echo "Your password has been sent! Please check your email!<br />";[/code]

obviously change the message etc to suit yourself.

Cheers
Matt

Also be aware most free hosts disable the mail function.

Oh and I forgot error messages might be turned off.

ok I'm using the code for a different reason, but here's mine:[code]<?php

$email = $_POST["Email"];
$to = '[email protected], ' . $_POST["Email"];
$subject = 'Application for Joining';
$from = 'From: ' . $email;
$date = date(n/j/y g:i:s e)
$text = 'Submission: ' . $date . '<br/>Name: ' . $_POST["Name"] . '<br/>Tags: ' . $_POST["Tags"] . '<br/>E-mail: ' . $_POST["Email"] . '<br/>Date: ' . $_POST["Date"] . '<br/>Other E-mails: ' . $_POST["other_emails"]
mail($to,$subject,$text);

?>[/code]
The page won't show up when I submit the form. It just shows up white...
