mail not working

[1stMoogwai]

Hello. I am building a Flash form and using php to send the email out. I've been having issues. I've broken it down to the "purest" php and it is still not working.

<?php
	mail("[e-mail]", "test", "test massege", "[e-mail]");
	if(mail("[e-mail]", "test", "test massege", "FROM:[e-mail]")) {
	echo "An e-mail was sent";
	} else {
	echo "There was a problem sending the mail.";
	}
?>

I can not figure out why this isn't working. Any ideas?

Thanks,
1M.

your trying to send mail twice? the first line should give you an error beacuse [e-mail] by itself is not a valid extra header. the script should work if you get rid of the first line (assuming you have an email server setup your machine).

This is a link to the file as it is now. I have reduced it to this:

<?php
	mail("[e-mail]", "test", "test massege");
	phpinfo();
?>

Not knowing the PHP setup well enough, can you see anything that is not "on" that needs to be for the mail function to work? DO I need to adjust the pathname to the mail function?

Thanks in advance,

I believe our if statement is messed up.

try this

<? php
$mailto = “[e-mail]”; 
$subject = “Subject line text”; 
$message = “This is my message text  ”; 

$headers = "From: [e-mail]"; 


mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $headers);

if (@mail($mailto, $subject, $message,$headers)) {
   echo "An e-mail was sent";
} else {
   echo "There was a problem sending the mail.";
}
?>

I just changed to the exact code that was posted... changed the emails, and still no go.

I've added the phpinfo(); function to the page. Is there anything that needs to be switched on? Or a pathname to the function? I noticed the mail script seems to be in a cgi folder. Would that be an issue?

Thanks again,

I htink I got it, the sendmail_from is [e-mail]. I belive this is what is causing it not to work.

I'm going in,
