[mrmossel]

ive paid for my hosting but the mail() function does not seem to work... i am trying to make a form....

 

this is the complete file:

<?php

$to = 'myemail@mybusiness.com';

$subject = $_REQUEST['quote'];

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;

$message = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;

$headers = '$email';

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

if($sent)

{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }

else

{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }

?>

 

can anyone help PLEASE?!!!

Hi,

 

Change your $headers assignment to use double-quotes. Variable expansion doesn't happen inside single quotes:

 

$headers = "$email";

 

... or just get rid of the quotes entirely.
