Mail Function not working

deezin

I haven't programmed for a while but the form that I just created seems like it should work. Everything is worked except that the form isn't being emailed to me. Can someone take a look here

http://artistshelpingchildren.org/donatecartocharityformchildrenartscardonations.php

I am using the normal mail() function on line 61.

Thank you!

I have the same problem. Here is my code.

<?
$sender_name = $REQUEST["sender_name"];
$sender_email = $REQUEST["sender_email"];
$message = $_REQUEST["message"];

$msg = "E-MAIL SENT FROM WWW SITE\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Name:\t$sender_name\n";
$msg .= "Sender's E-mail:\t$sender_email\n";
$msg .= "Message:\t$message\n\n";

$to = "zul_1381@yahoo.com.sg";
$subject = "Web Site Feedback";
$mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $sender_email\n\n";

mail($to,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders);

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Feedback Form Sent</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>The following e-mail has been sent:</h1>
<p><strong>Your Name:</strong><br>
<? echo "$sender_name"; ?></p>
<p><strong>Your E-mail Address:</strong><br>
<? echo "$sender_email"; ?></p>
<p><strong>Message:</strong><br>
<? echo "$message"; ?></p>

</body>
</html>

I'm trying to send to my yahoo email from localhost. Is there anything to do with my php.ini file? The SMTP in my php.ini is localhost, smtp_port=25, sendmail_from is zul_1381@yahoo.com.sg.

Thank you for reading. Any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

tells you how to configure your php ini on a windows pc runing as localhost

I have changed the SMTP = localhost to SMTP = smtp.starhub.net.sg which is my ISP. It returned me this error.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 5.5.4 < My Web Site <> >... Domain name required for sender address in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\send_simpleform.php on line 16

line 16, i believe, is this code:

mail($to,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders);

What should I do?

cretaceous

dunno what is wrong,
check yr sendmail isp is 'smtp' at the front - might be 'mail' or something else instead

Fixed the problem. The sendmail_from in my php.ini actually has a ; infront of it! I just had to remove it. Bah! :bemused:

if($r_address) {$feedback.="Special Instructions or Comments: ".$r_address."\n\n";}
$email_to="allfreelance@comcast.net";
$subject="Artists Helping Children Car Donation Form";
mail($email_to,$subject,$feedback);
echo "<center><h2>Thank you for your interest in donating your car to Artists Helping Children. We will get back to you as soon as possible.</h2><BR>";
}
else
{
