mail();

Why isn't this code working? I never get a mail...

<?php

if($QUERY_STRING == "send")
{
$send = mail($to,$subject,$body);
if(!$send)
die("Error!");

echo "Sent!";
}
else
{
echo "<form action=\"mail.php?send\" method=\"post\">
To: <input type=\"text\" name=\"to\"><br>
Subject: <input type=\"text\" name=\"subject\"><br>
Message: <textarea cols=\"30\" rows=\"7\" name=\"body\"></textarea><p>
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send Mail\">
</form>";
}

?>

Personally, I would simplify things and take out the usage of double quotes and slashes, and use embedded single quotes within your echo statement, such as:

echo "<form action='mail.php?send'  method='post'>
To: <input type='text' name='to'><br>

etc etc

Not sure if that will solve the problem entirely, but it sure makes life simpler imho.

OK... maybe there is something with my server... dunno!

Why don't you use a hidden variable for sent ?

--- Form ---
<FORM ...>
<INPUT NAME="sent" VALUE="1" TYPE=HIDDEN>
...
</FORM>

--- Script ---
if(isset($_POST["sent"])) {
// mail & cie
}

well, I usually do that, but I thought of trying something else this time... :rolleyes:

How about setting a value for send like send=1

Then just check for $send via $_GET[send]

if($_GET[send]) // or whatever check you want
{
$send = mail($to,$subject,$body);
if(!$send)
die("Error!");

echo "Sent!";
}
else
{
echo "<form action=\"mail.php?send=1\"
