[btumpak]

I can't seem to get this email to send, note that I am trying to send email to the address the user just submitted...it posts to the DB... suggestions?

<?php

$lastname = $_POST['lastName'];
$email    = $_POST['email'];
$id       = $_POST['id'];
$site     = $_POST['site'];

$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=dbaddress;dbname='dbname, 'user', 'pass') or die(PDO::errorInfo());
$sth = $dbh->prepare("
	INSERT INTO table (lastName, email, id, site)
	VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
");
$sth->execute(array($lastname, $email, $id, $site)) or die(array_pop($sth->errorInfo()));
$dbh = null;


$to = '$email';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'my message goes here';
$headers = 'From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
     'Reply-To: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
     'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

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




header("Location:thankyou.html");

$to = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'my message goes here';
$headers = 'From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
     'Reply-To: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
     'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

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

does that work, ie mail only no db stuff

[btumpak]

no it doesn't - it stops my process.php from working as well

[dagon]

there's something fundamentally wrong with your php installation if mail wont work, is this a hosted installation?

[dagon]

make suer you have full error checking on

error_reporting(E_ALL);

[btumpak]

i know for sure its not my php installation - im at a large university.

ask them if they have disabled mail then
