mail() doesn't work

[fizzwizz]

This is my first email code:-

$email = "[e-mail]";
$mail_subject = "Test";
$mail_body = "This is a test";

mail($email,$mail_subject,$mail_body);

I don't receive this test email ([e-mail]) any ideas why?

the server admin might have disabled
the php function 'mail()';

you might try

$to = "[e-mail]";
$mail_subject = "Test";
$mail_body = "This is a test";
$headers = "From: [e-mail]";

if(!($mailit = mail($email,$mail_subject,$mail_body,$headers);{
echo 'your mail could not be sent!';
} else {
echo 'your mail has been sent!';
}

debugged your code slightly
$to = "[e-mail]";
$mail_subject = "Test";
$mail_body = "This is a test";
$headers = "From: [e-mail]";

if(!($mailit = mail($email,$mail_subject,$mail_body,$headers)))
{
echo "your mail could not be sent!";
}
else echo "your mail has been sent!";

(just for benefit of others)

but still doesn't send the mail

do you think admin has disabled this function?

hehe, thnx. I think I typed it half-asleep.

i believe he or she has. theres real no way around it if mail() has been disabled. Im guessiong this is a free host?
