mail() function

jwb666

i am having trouble getting my email forms to actually send the information. For this example i'll do a simple example (my scripts were a lot more complicated, bar 1, which still didnt work) I have two html forms which are basicly like this:

then PHP:

$to = "myemail@myhost.com";
$re = "Submitted Querie";
$msg = $comments;

#Headers for html e-mail enabled message
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type: text/html; ";
$headers.= "charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

#Set the From: header
$headers.= "From: $from \r\n";

mail($to, $re,$msg, $headers);

it wont send! it comes up with my confirmation message (which i havent included in the example) but nowt happens!

I've checked with my server as to whether php.ini are set up and mail() is allowed and not limited, and phpBB mail() functions work fine on my server, so it must be the code

any help would be very appreciated,

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!,

Okay i just tested that on my server and worked perfectly are you sure the smtp settings are correct for the server.

cheers i e-mailed my host and they replied:

No your script is most likely setup fine, however, the problem with this is the format in which your email address is entered, you have entered:

username@mydomain.com

This is not correctly when you are using a the server sendmail or PHP mail function to send out emails to your own domain. You must change the setting of your email to:

myusername%mydomain.com@dpmail12.doteasy.com

so that was the problem, now ive got to test it

cheers,
