Email Problem

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

Why won't this send an email. SMTP is running.

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "From: Training Department\n"; 
$subject  = ucwords('hello'); 
$content  = "From: ".ucwords($name)."\n"
				    ."Message: \n Hi all \n"
					.$note."Regards, \n"
					.ucwords($name);

foreach ($email as $key => $value) 
{
 				$value .= '@yahoo.com';
				echo $key .'=>'. $value.'<br />';

			mail($value, $subject, $content, $headers);
}

I think the problem is with the line

$value .= '@yahoo.com';

I think this should be

$value = '@yahoo.com';

I am not sure why you were appending "= '@yahoo.com'" to $Value.

I hope this helps.

Because $value will only take first name so I append @yahoo.com to each name.

It doesn't seem to send the email but the code works fine on another server.

Here's my php.ini settings:

; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

What could be wrong?

[wilku]

Does it give any error or notice (error reporting E_ALL)? Does mail return true or false?

[obrienkev]

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); doesn't give any report.

And mail doesn't return anything either.

Tried this and it returns the else part(Sending...failed):

(@mail($value, $subject, $content, $headers))?print 'Sending email to '.$value." was successful.<br>\n" : print 'Sending email to '.$value." failed.<br>\n";

[wilku]

do not exclude notices from your error reporting and see what happens.
From the example you gave - it seems mail returns false. So there's something wrong between php and smpt server (don't know what).

[obrienkev]

Yup. I tried error_reporting(E_ALL); and still nothing. Pretty clueless as to what is going on? Would it be server issue?? SMTP??
To set up SMTP I simple went to :
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Selected IIS > Turned SMTP On.

Any ideas guys??

Thanks.

[obrienkev]

Can anyone come up with something on this? Still unresolved.

Thanks.
