mail Error

mharxx

Hello Everyone:

I have a problem regarding this function. When sending the email the program hangs. Can anyone help me here please? What shall I do:

The Code:
<?
$email = strtolower(trim(addslashes($_REQUEST["email"])));
$subject = "Bedankt dat je rosaslist gebruikt hebt om een oproep te plaatsen!";

$from = "Gemar <glived@hotmail.com>";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0 \r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: glived@hotmail.com \r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: Normal \r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal \r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php \r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from \r\n";

$body = "BELANGRIJK:<br><br>Klik op onderstaande link om de oproep te plaatsen. De oproep zal tenminste 60 dagen blijven staan.<br><br> <a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/index.php?url=".$url."'>http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/index.php?url=".$url."</a><br><br>Via deze link kunt u tevens de oproep bekijken, aanpassen en verwijderen. Bewaar deze mail dus goed.\n\nLET OP:\n\nWees voorzichtig met het ingaan op aanbiedingen en verzoeken. Hoewel de meeste Rosaslist gebruikers goede bedoelingen hebben, altijd even oppassen. Met het publiceren van de oproep wordt accoord gegaan met de gebruiksvoorwaarden en het privacyreglement welke op de site te vinden zijn.\n\n<a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/index2.php?task=voorwarden.php'>www.rosaslist.nl/gebruiksvoorwaarden</a>\n\n<a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/index2.php?task=privacy.php'>www.rosaslist.nl/privacy</a>";


$mybody   = "<html><body><p align='justify'>".$body."</p></body></html>";

mail($email, $subject, $mybody, $headers);

Thanks,

First of all, could you please put your code in php tags - it makes is much easier to read.

I don't really get this...you are outputting your html page before your email? Can you do this after a page has been output? You might try putting your mail() before your html is output.

You aren't receiving any error messages at all? Try turning off your mail() command (also) and see what happens then. You might be able to do some diagnosis that way...

Yes I don't receive any error messages at all. When I commented the line having the mail function the program doesn't hang at all.

Is this all the code? How does mail() know where to send stuff...I don't see variables for these in the code:

mail($email, $subject, $mybody, $headers);

I only see $headers...and $mybody...

Ok I have just other variables being set which I forgot to add. Thanks

Sometimes, headers can be a real pain. I recommend commenting them all out (except for perhaps the return email) and seeing what happens. You're going to need to play with them - I've had to do that a few times until I found a set that would work (if you read around other threads you will see that many people have this problem too).

But I have to run now...

Good luck...v
