I'm creating a script that will allow client to send mail to another client using a form with php mail() function... I have uploaded this script to the server, and i'm able to send a mail back to the server email address, and then, i tried to send mail to my gmail account, i received nothing, i tried and tried, and use the code provided in php.net/mail still no clue... i hv totally ran out of ideas and im here to seek for help...

can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code, or perhaps... can you show me the code that will able to send to other mail services such as yahoo, gmail, hotmail and so on...

 

and, i hv looked at the spam section of gmail, nothing was found..

 

thanks!

From what i can see, the script looks ok. If it send email internally then it has to do with the mail server configuration. Maybe the external gateway requires SMPT Authentication to relay your mail, so it may need username and password. Or just check if gmail or any other free email account is blocked by the mail server. Anyway i think it has nothing to do with your php script.
