I recently got a web space on lebhosting (4urweb). anyway i made the site and i used the mail function in a file called post.php3 i upload it to the public html folder in the webspace and did not work is there anything else i have to do to let php work ( i know the site support php because
I put the command phpinfo() and it worked and gave me a lot of info)

perhaps they dont have it setup properly to send mail...
look in phpinfo and see what sendmail_path is set to..

also try setting up your mail function like this:

if(!mail("[e-mail]","My sub" ,"hellllo","From: [email][e-mail][/email]\r\n")) {
     echo "data was not sent to mail handler";
} else { 
     echo("sent=done");     

}
    

the mail function will return true even if the message is not sent. it returns false if the data does not get passed on to the mail handler on your server, set in sendmail_path in php.ini.
