priti Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Are you sure your code is sending mail from your side.If yes then first check the junk folders of there email and then let us know how you are sending your mails. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam291086 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 add this to the top of you script. See if any errors are displayed ini_set ("display_errors", "1"); error_reporting(E_ALL); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazrin Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I see you're sending this from your own server on xamp. I'm pretty sure that xamp doesn't include an SMTP server as standard, so make sure you get one installed otherwise it isn't going to work at all. I get this same issue when testing scripts that try send e-mails, but they work fine once they're uploaded to my webspace. Maybe someone can recommend a good SMTP server to try, but I'm sure google will give you some free programs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
