i made my contact script to upload it to a db, then it alerts my on my browser when someone has contacted me, and i creates a page that displays all of it...

i just find that way a lot easier.

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

That sounds nice...

but mysql has gone down at the moment....!

well... for the past 2 days!?!

so i'd like to try this way,

plus i think it's an easier way.

thanks for your suggestion thou!

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

Hi,

Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction...?

Im not asking for someone to do it for me, so i can just copy and paste,

i like learning this stuff

but this is doing my head in... i have no idea why it doesn't work

Thanks!

You can try changing

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

to an email on your domain.

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

Thanks for your reply,

so you're saying from:

$from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";

to

$from = "From: mail@yourdomain.com";

sorry if this is a really stupid question...

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

Hi,

I've tried your suggestion in a number of ways,

but i'm still not recieving anything

my webhosts say on their website:

You can also use the PHP mail function and set the mail "from address" using the following line of code (replacing email@mydomain with the correct domain name).

ini_set("sendmail_from", " email@mydomain ");

but i don't understand...

revraz · March 24, 2008

Try a single, one line .php file

<?php

mail("youremail", "subject", "message", "FROM: youremail");

?>

Replace "youremail" with your email address that is on that domain from your webhost.

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

Thanks!

however, nothing is coming through,

just sent a test from hotmail to the same address, and it turned up straight away.....?

revraz · March 24, 2008

You need to ask your host for the error or if you have access to the Log file, see if you can find an error.

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

Hi,

for the error...?

i just assume it's being blocked or something?

i'll email them

Thanks

Alexhoward · March 24, 2008

i do have access to the log files on my ftp server

but they mean nothing to me....

what should i be looking for?
