mail() isn't working

[promovi]

I just have a basic question, I believe. I'm doing a simple script where I want it to email the results from a form, but it won't work. I changed it to a super simple mail dealio and it still didn't work:

mail ("[e-mail]", "Subject fun", "message");

But it still returns false. I'm not sure if there is something I need to change in php to get it to work (I haven't changed anything yet). I'm using a hosting service that provides me with php use, so I'm not sure if I need to contact them or what.

If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Paul ô¿ô

Are you sure your host allows mail()? Some hosts, especially free ones, disable mail() for security purposes.

The mail function on a cheap server I am on quit working after it had been working. I contacted them a couple weeks ago and they are 'looking into it'.

I guess I might keep an eye on this thread in case any new ideas float in.
