Form mailer isn't sending e-mail.

The_Artak

Hello...

I've been dealing with this script for about two days now, and I can't figure out for the life of me why it is not working.

<?php

require "config.php";

header("Expires: Mon, 20 Dec 1998 01:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

$contacting_name = $_POST['contacting_name'];
$contacting_message = $_POST['contacting_message'];
$contacting_email = $_POST['contacting_email'];
$contacting_phone = $_POST['contacting_phone'];
$contacting_address = $_POST['contacting_address'];
$info_request = $_POST['info_request'];
$volunteer_request = $_POST['volunteer_request'];
$prefers_phone = $_POST['prefers_phone'];

if (!isset($_POST['contacting_email'])) {
siteheadinfo();
template_precontent();
form_top("the Miami Council for International Visitors");

echo'<tr>
<td colspan="4">Other Options:</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="4">I would like more information about becoming a member of MCIV. <input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="info_request" value="I would like more information about becoming a member of MCIV." /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="4">I would like information about volunteer opportunities with MCIV. <input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="volunteer_request" value="I would like information about volunteer opportunities with MCIV." /></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="4">I prefer to be contacted by telephone. <input type="checkbox" name="prefers_phone" value="I prefer to be contacted by telephone." /></td>
</tr>';

form_bottom("MCIV");
template_postcontent();
}

else {

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
	$comments = stripslashes( $comments );
}
$mailto ="jacob@artakproductions.net";
$subject = "new e-mail from MCIV website";
$messageproper =

"This message was sent by $name:\r\n" .
"------------------------- $subject -------------------------\r\n\r\n" .

"Contact Name - $name\r\n" .
"Subject - $subject\r\n" .
"E-mail - $email\r\n" .
"$comments\r\n" .
"IP Address- $domain\r\n" .
"\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------\r\n" ;

mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, "From: \"$contacting_name\" <$contacting_email>\nReply-To: \"$contacting_name\" <$contacting_email>\nX-Mailer: artakproductions.com automailer" );

siteheadinfo();
template_precontent();
echo'<p>Thank you for contacting us! We will try to reply to you as soon as possible.</p>';
template_postcontent();

exit ;

}
?>

It does everything it's supposed to, except for send the e-mail. I've tried it on three different hosts with no luck, both of mine and the client's hosting.

Is there any suggestions out there as to what I'm doing wrong? Heaven knows it's most likely something stupid I've overlooked, but for the life of me I haven't a clue what it is.

EDIT:

On the off chance it's something in one of the functions, here is the config.php file:

<?php

function siteheadinfo()
{
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

	<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.images) {
	menuon = new Image
	menuoff = new Image


	menuon.src = "images/menuon.png"
	menuoff.src = "images/menuoff.png"}

	function menu_highlight(something, mode)
					{
						something.style.backgroundImage = "url(" + (mode ? menuon.src + ")" : menuoff.src + ")");
					}

They're all basically XHTML blocks, so I'm not sure that is the problem, but who knows.

Try changing your mail line to this:

mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, "From: $contacting_name <$contacting_email>\r\nReply-To: $contacting_name <$contacting_email>\r\nX-Mailer: artakproductions.com automailer" );

That seems to have solved it, except for on the client's server, but that thing has so many bugs...long as I can get it working somewhere it's a start.

Thank you.
