PHP and IIS.. HELP

omnidesigner

I am a newbie to all of this.. just so that everyone knows..

I did some php coding for three forms. There is supposed to be a response email send to the user and the admin. I did the form thinking it was being hosted on a Linux server.. and the forms work just fine on my server (which is a Linux server BTW) however.. I just found out that the server is a IIS server. Now apache is installed and works just fine..

PHP info links.

IIS
Linux

Please someone give me some kind of insight.. I have no idea of how to resolve this, and the hosting company is not helping.. I have to get this up.

below is one of the php files in question.

Are there any warnings or error messages that get displayed?

omnidesigner

there are no warnings at all.. after you submit, the form functions, in other words you get a "your form has been submitted blah blah blah" but no emails to either user or admin.. thinking I have an issue with the coding being on IIS.. but do not know what to where to change!

_uk_stuff

what if you try putting a conditional statement around the mail function i.e.

if ( !mail($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ) 
{
    echo "Unable to send email to entered email address [" . $pfw_email_to. "]";
    exit;
}

This way you can see whether the mail command is actually trying to send the email or failing.

Looking at the Mail function page on the PHP.net website it states, and I quote;

'Note: The Windows implementation of mail() differs in many ways from the Unix implementation. First, it doesn't use a local binary for composing messages but only operates on direct sockets which means a MTA is needed listening on a network socket (which can either on the localhost or a remote machine).
Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP.
As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something <someone@example.com>". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA. '
