[SOLVED] mail()

[daveh33]

mail($toemail, "Greetings card from $from", $message, "FROM:Website Name<[email protected]>") or die("MAIL NOT SENT");

 

This code doesn't seem to send any mail - any ideas?

 

Also are there any more advanced features that can be added to validate if the email is sent or not?

this link has some examples that might help you

Who are you hosting with?

Because i ahve found some hosts, will prevent you from using the mail() function.

 

i would also do it like this (for easier reading)

$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "[email protected]";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";

 

but all you really need are just the first 3 parameters mail(to,subject,message).

 

to my knowledge there arent any additional features to validate if it was sent
