Formmail PHP script not sending mail.

I have recently used a php script available on the net with a contact form on my upcoming site. The script does write a csv file and redirects the user but it does not send the data to the specified email address and it also does not send an autoresponse. I am providing the php file as an attachment. Or you can download the same from www.imakarnal.com/aformmail.php. Can somebody guide me about what is wrong. Thanks.

What does this script do?

$message="Test Message";

$myaddress="foo@foo.bar.baz";  // use your address

$success=mail($myaddress, "Email Server Test", $message);

if ($success) {
    echo "Mail sent!";
} else {
    echo "Sending of mail failed...";
}

It's quite likely that the failure to send mail has nothing to do with your PHP script, and everything to do with the machine on which it runs...possibly it's your configuration, possibly it's restricted access to the SMTP server, etc.

What's the environment like?

Thanks a lot for your reply. But there shouldn't be any server problem as the mail is actually being sent to the "cc" recipeients but not to the primary recipient and since the autoresponder also works with primary recipient, there may be problem in defining the primary recipient. Kindly give me any further suggestions. Thanks

I will magnamimously refrain from the first "further suggestion" that comes to mind :rolleyes:

Try adding an "errors-to" header and see if you can pick up any error messages.

Furthermore, as your "primary recipient" seems to be a Yahoo! address, I would definitely investigate the possibility that it's being caught in a spam filter somewhere along the route...
