[RESOLVED] problems using mail() function

[padanaram]

I have a couple different kinds of forms I have created for a web site. One type of form is for members of the site to invite people to the site and the otehr type of form is a contact form. The first type of form sends an email out to the people who were invited and the other type of form sends an email to the site admin.

I can't seem to get my form mailer to work.

Here is the code I wrote for the form mailer.

if ($whereCaluse == "pursePartyGuests"){

				     generalQuery(&$connection, "emailConfirmation", NULL, "pursePartyGuests");

		             $result = $_SESSION['result'];
		             unset($_SESSION['result']);

				     $row = @ mysql_fetch_array($result);

				     // Start by setting up the "to" address
                     $to = $_POST['firstName'] . " " . 
                           $_POST['lastName'] . " <" . 
                           $_POST['email'] . ">";

					 // And, last (before we build the email), set up some mail headers
                     $headers  = "From:  <" . $row["email"] . ">\r\n";
                     $headers .= "X-Sender: <" . $row["email"] . ">\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "Return-Path: <" . $row["email"] . ">\r\n";

				     // Now, setup the "subject" line
                     $subject = $row["firstname"] . " " . $row["lastname"] . " has invited you to a purse party!";

				     $out = "Dear " . $_POST['firstName'] . 
                           " " . $_POST['lastName'] . ",\n" .
						   "\nYou have been invited to a purse party by " .
                           $row["firstname"] . " " . $row["lastname"] . ".\n\n";

				     $out .= "The purse party is on " . $_POST['dateOfPurseParty'] .
				        " and ends at 12 midnight.\n\n";

				     $out .= "To go to the purse party go to http://www.cheapchiconline.net " .
				        "and login using your user name and password. \n\n";

				     $out .= "If you are an aol user <a href=http://www.cheapchiconline.net>click here</a>\n" .
				        " to login to the purse party.\n\n";

				     $out .= "Your User Name is: " . $_POST['email'] . "\n" .
				        "Your Password is: " . $custID . "\n";

				     $out .= "Cheap Chic Online is a members only site, so we hope \n" .
				        "that you can attend the purse party and take advantage \n" .
						"of this opportunity to shop for some of the best deals \n" .
						"on name brand purses, by designers such as Prada, Fendi Gucci, \n" .
						"Tods, Balenciaga, Ferragamo, Marc Jacobs and many more. \n\n";

				     $out .= "Reguards, \n" .
				        "Cheap Chic Inc. \n";
				}
				if ($whereClause == "webForm"){

				     generalQuery(&$connection, "emailConfirmation", NULL, "webForm");

		             $result = $_SESSION['result'];
		             unset($_SESSION['result']);

				     $row = @ mysql_fetch_array($result);

				     // Start by setting up the "to" address
                     $to = " <" . $row['store_email'] . ">";

					 // And, last (before we build the email), set up some mail headers
                     $headers  = "From:  <" . $row["email"] . ">\r\n";
                     $headers .= "X-Sender: <" . $row["store_email"] . ">\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; 
                     $headers .= "Return-Path: <" . $row["email"] . ">\r\n";

					 $subject = $_POST['subject'];

					 $out = $_POST['message'];
				}

				mail($to, $subject, $out, $headers);

If anyone can help with with gettign this working please let me know.

"It doesnt work" is a very bad description - developers hate it, so should you 🙂

What exactally is broken?

Look at if ($whereCaluse == "pursePartyGuests"){

clause has been misspelt there, this is no doubt one problem.

I found my problem. I had to change some things in the database and reference it correctly.
