simple mail form frustration

[anakadote]

I have set up a PHP mail form on a couple sites and it has worked perfectly, but I am now trying to do it again on another site and am getting this error (even though it's the same code):

Notice: Undefined variable: message in E:\WWW Root\7springs.com\inquiry.php on line 11

Here is my PHP script:

<?php

$mailto = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Conference Inquiry";
$redirect = "thankyoupage.shtml";
$header = "From: Conference site Visitor";

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {

  $message .= $key . ':  ' . $value; 
  $message .= "\n";

}
if (@mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $header)) {

header("Location: $redirect");
} else {
echo('<p>Mail could not be sent. Please use your back button to try again.</p>');
}
?>

Can someone please tell me what the problem is?

Declare $message = ""; before your foreach loop.

I can't seem to figure out why this isn't working, all I get is the "Mail could not be sent. Please use your back button to try again."

Here is my PHP script:

<?php

$mailto = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Conference Inquiry";
$redirect = "thankyoupage.shtml";
$header = "From: Conference site Visitor";
$message = "Form Contents";

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {

$message .= $key . ': ' . $value;
$message .= "\n";
}
if (@mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $header)) {

header("Location: $redirect");
} else {
echo('<p>Mail could not be sent. Please use your back button to try again.</p>');
}
?>

Can someone please tell me what the problem is?

Take the @ off the beginning of mail(). Then you'll get an error, and you'll be able to find out why its not working.

This was the error: Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 505 5.7.3 Client was not authenticated in E:\WWW Root\7springs.com\conference\inquiry.php on line 16

It sounds like the smtp server is not setup properly or requires authentication.
