stolzyboy

are you on nix or win

talkster5

win

r270ba

I am not sure but i think i would make the form and then allow it to post to a do_email.php which has your php code. Not sure if that will work or not.

talkster5

i had this working b4 but i changed it and now it wont work but i know this was how i had it

stolzyboy

you have a mail server running on your machine or are you using an external smtp server, etc...

talkster5

no i dot not run a mail server on my pc and i do have a smtp account but i dont use it for that form.

stolzyboy

apache or iis

i'm asking this cuz php needs a mail server to actually send the email

talkster5

oh i use apache

r270ba

you could always just leave out the

<?php ?>

and just add action="mailto:user@domain.com" for the form and it will mail you the details that way.

talkster5

that will just open up an email in outlook express

talkster5

i tried it before and one more tihng it doesnt include the info from the form

stolzyboy

are you getting any errors, or is it just not sending the email, running outta solutions here, if you don't get any errors, then php doesn't have a mail server to use, which it needs, the mail() only says that's what it needs to do

talkster5

i dont get an email and thts it

stolzyboy

well as far as i know, you need the php.ini to tell php what mail server to send the mail with, but if you had this working before, i don't know

r270ba

This is code from one of my scritps that uses the mail().

$to='user@domain.com, [email]user@domain.com[/email]';
	$sub="New Service Request has been added by $name";
	$mes="Course:  $course_name \nPeace of Mind:  $pom \nTime:  $time \nDate:  $month/$day/$year 
	     \nAlternate Phone:  $alt_phone \nRequested By:  $req_by \nTaken By:  $name \nPirority:  $prior  \nDescription:  $desc";
	$from='webmaster@domain.com';
	mail($to, $sub, $mes, $from);

Yours looks pretty much the same. Maybe try storing your email into a variable. . .running out of suggestions so I am digging deep. I can also tell you that when the email sends it is sent from my hosts root account and not mine. Maybe contact your host and see what is in their php.ini.

talkster5

at the moment im only running it on local host but before i tested it on websapce at www.addf.net

do oyu want to see my php.ini file if that helps

stolzyboy

just looking thru this again and i noticed that your $headers isn't likely holding anything, since it is only in your script once, and you need to have a valid from at least to get the email sent, you are probably missing 3-4 lines of headers code something like

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$headers .= "From: You <you@you.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: [email]notyou@you.com[/email]\r\n";

stolzyboy

well you need either a local smtp server, or your isp's smtp server to send the mail, if you were testing this on other webspace, you were using there smtp server to send the mail, this is likely your problem, and also look into the headers thing

r270ba

Also I think if you are running it locally like you say and you h ave a pop3 account then you can setup the php.ini to email to its smtp account w/ your email account settings.
