[SOLVED] php mail not working

[koolaid]

??? let me start by saying thank you, and that i am php stupid. I have made php mail work a couple times before, but this time i want my script to send mail to an address that the user inputs. What's wrong with what i am doing?

<?php

$sendTo = .$_POST["email"];
$sendTo2 ="[email protected]";
$subject = "* listing *";  

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-path: " "[email protected]"

$message =  $_POST["phone"] . $_POST["message"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
mail($sendTo2, $subject, $message, $headers);


?>

is there really a dot before $_POST["email"]?

 

$sendTo = .$_POST["email"];

I tried it w/ and w/o neither way works, and i really have no idea what i am doing. I am an Action Script developer

yes, this code shouldn't even compile. if you aren't seeing errors, you probably have error reporting turned off. you may need to add this at the top of your script:

 

ini_set("error_reporting","E_ALL");

I put that code in.

I normally would not post in forums when i am this bad at what i am doing. I ordered a couple books so that i may learn the correct way of structuring my code

 

"Foundation PHP 5 for Flash

"PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy (Solutions)"

 

but i can not wait until they get here. This is the last hurtle i have for this project, and then i will be able to actually learn before i am expected to Implement. I know my code is screwed, but can you tell me where i am going wrong?

this might be right. and [email protected] is probably going to receive an email from my computer. 

 

<?php

$sendTo = $_POST["email"];
$sendTo2 ="[email protected]";
$subject = "* listing *";  

$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ". $_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";

$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";

$headers .= "Return-path: [email protected]\r\n";

$message =  $_POST["phone"] . $_POST["message"];

mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
mail($sendTo2, $subject, $message, $headers);


?>

That did it! Thanks a lot i know it can be frustrating helping people who are completely clueless and unwilling to learn on their own. I assure you if i had any more time i would have made a greater effort to learn on my own. Thanks again man.
