[SOLVED] Email script not working

[peranha]

I have this script for my contact form, but it is not working.  Not sure why it isnt.

 

<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// form not submitted

}
else {
// form submitted

// get form input
// check to make sure it's all there
// escape input values for greater safety
$name = empty($_POST['name']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter Your Name</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['name'])));
$email = empty($_POST['email']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter Your email</b>") : $_POST['email'];
$subject = empty($_POST['subject']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter A Subject</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['subject'])));
$message1 = empty($_POST['message']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter A Message</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['message'])));

// send e-mail to ...
$to = "webmaster@bscardealers.com";

// Your subject
$subject = $subject;

// From
$header = "from: " . $email;

// Your message
$message = $message1;

// send email
$sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

}

if ($sentmail) {

// Reload user to the home.php page
header("Location: home.php");

}

else {

echo "<b class=red>There was an error sending your message.</b>";

}
?>

 

When the code is run, I keep getting There was an error sending your message.

 

I use the same script for the register process, and it works fine.  Any one have any ideas?

i would add an echo to see if this is ever true:

 

if (!isset($_POST['submit']))

I took those lines out, and now it goes forwards to the home page, but it does not send the email.

 

contactsub.php

<?php
// get form input
// check to make sure it's all there
// escape input values for greater safety
$name = empty($_POST['name']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter Your Name</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['name'])));
$email = empty($_POST['email']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter Your email</b>") : $_POST['email'];
$subject = empty($_POST['subject']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter A Subject</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['subject'])));
$message1 = empty($_POST['message']) ? die ("<b class=red>Enter A Message</b>") : strip_tags(htmlspecialchars(str_replace($rtags, "", $_POST['message'])));

// send e-mail to ...
$to = "webmaster@bscardealers.com";

// Your subject
$subject = $subject;

// From
$header = "from: " . $email;

// Your message
$message = $message1;

// send email
$sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

if ($sentmail) {

// Reload user to the home.php page
header("Location: home.php");

}

else {

echo "<b class=red>There was an error sending your message.</b>";

}
?>

 

contact.php
