e-mail Q?

[Flasher]

<h2>Send E-mail !</h2>
<td><table width="400">
<tr>
<td align=left><form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
Your name :<br>
<input type="text" name="name" size="30"><br>
Your e-mail :<br>
<input type="text" name="email" size="30"><br>
Subject :<br>
<input type="text" name="sub" size="30"><br>
Massage :<br>
<TEXTAREA rows="15" cols="40" name="mas"></TEXTAREA>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send"></form>
<br></form></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
$to="[e-mail]";
if($submit){
mail("$to","$sub","$mas.My Email is $email.Greeting from $name.");
}
?>

I use this code to send a e-mail , but why i cant get the e-mail later?

The basis for the mail function is as follows:

mail(string recipient, string subject, string body, string additional_headers)
Keep in mind that each extra header must be separated by a single newline character.

Now for your instance, you might want to try;

NOTE: I have also added a little bit at the start to test if the post was successful which you dont need... but it let u know if it was sent alright.

<?php

if(($to == ""))
{
print("There was an error sending mail to <b>$to</b>")
}

else
{
$to="[e-mail]";

$additional = "My Email is $email. Greeting from $name\n";

if($submit)
{
mail("$to","$sub","$mas","$additional");
}

}

?>

Let me know how that goes

<?
if(($to == "")){
print("There was an error sending mail to <b>$to</b>");
}else{
$to="[e-mail]";
$additional = "My Email is $email. Greeting from $name\n";
if($submit){
mail("$to","$sub","$mas","$additional");
}
?>

why i paste your code in my php , there is a error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\email.php on line 25

but line 25 is the "?>"......

I added that bit at the start which tests for a blank recipient. If it is blank (whereby someone has just gone to the page and not filled out the form) then it will display "There was an error sending mail to <b>$to</b>" $to being the recipient.

If all went well and $to wasnt blank.. then it would proceed to send off the message posted in the form (using the code in the 'else').

You dont need the if($submit) statement.. get rid of that and try it now.
