how to write header() and mail()

jael

i've two question! (so sorry this is my first time to wrote a php program.....so...i've problemin such simple functions!)

i've write a reply form and send the data by mail() function to a mail box. However i receive nothing fr the mail box!

i've include some check method (if($success)echo ".....else echo...)
but nothing display!

the following is the code:

as the header() should be written in the format
header (location :http_host/doc_root/filename.html);

i want to ask :
can i write write it as "

header("Location:paullink.php?$level=4");

(i've try to echo out the variable $level but nothing display!)

and want to ask:
could this way apply to a frame? as the url is actually use in a frame in a frameset....so other is unchange but this page is change! could it be that?!

thans!

1.) LAMP or WAMP - did you make all neccesary php.ini entries?

2.) header("Location: aullink.php?level=4"); // without $

You MUST still know what system your host uses...

jael

it is a unix system!
the webmaster told me that i can use mail() as i've put in the three parameter....

he said that the port is not open???? to public but i can use it to send out. he said that the send out address use the host server name!

that's what he said but i still cannot make this function work for me!

so still trying!

hand

Just try it with following script

<?mail("place.your.email.here@address.com", "TestSubject", "TestBody");?>

Can you receive this mail?

the webmaster reply me with that i should include a helo to the smtp....
and send me some sample code.....
i put them in a place where i thought is right .....
but it still had no reaction!?

this is the code of the whole page..... :
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=big5">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<div align="center">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="alphamail.php">
<?php
$subject="Alpha_Mail_Application";
$to="clc@hkcccc.org".",";
$to.="tea_pot525@hotmail.com".",";
$returnmail="clc@hkcccc.org";

$headers .= "From: $sender <$senderemail> \n Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=big5\n Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$returnemail>\n";

if ( $Name ) {
if ( $Phone ){
$Body="³ø¦W±Òµo½Òµ{, ©m¦W: " . quotemeta($name) . "¹q¸Ü: " . quotemeta($phone);
$success =mail( $To, $Subject, $Body, $headers);

if ($success) {
echo "«H¥ó¤w¸g°e¥X!";
exit(0);
} else {
echo "±H«Hµo¥Í¿ù»~";
}
}
}
?>
