Mail() problems

[WierdGoku]

Hi,

 

I've written s acript that takes a name, email address, subject and body from a HTML form and uses the mail() function to send it to a pre-defined email address. Problem is is that it does not send it to the recipient and returns false. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

 

The script is http://www.jqt-chinesemedicine.com/contact.php

The form is http://www.jqt-chinesemedicine.com/contact.html

and the phpinfo file is http://www.jqt-chinesemedicine.com/info.php

 

Thanks for your help

Is the 'to' defintely defined? also if your using a mysql db print mysql error, if not make sure the name in the 'to' is bewing redirected to an email.

Yeah the 'to' field is already defined as a variable (ie $toAddress = "[email protected]"). I'm not using a mysql database as it is only going to one address. I've checked the address and it seems to be correct but it's still not going anywhere.

 

the call to mail i'm using is:

 

if (mail ('$toName<$toAddress>', $subject, $message, 'From: $fromName<$fromAddress>'. "\r\n"))

 

php doesn't seem to be spilling out any errors but i'm unable to get into the server to change the config settings for that. there also doesn't seem to be any errors in the error log either  ???

try this.  All I did is replace single quotes with double quotes.  php won't parse variables inside single quotes.

 

if (mail ("$toName<$toAddress>", $subject, $message, "From: $fromName<$fromAddress>". "\r\n"))
