I'm hosting my sites at 0fees.net and all scripts with email form including wordpress is not sending out email, the email form says message sent but no email was sent. Please advice

    you really think any one could solve your problem based on the information provided?

      Yes I think all the info says it all, if youre being a smart ass then tell me what you need to solve this, maybe someone who uses 0fees.net knows what the problem is.

        doctor i'm sick, fix me.

          Let's look a little more closely at this, shall we? You have a problem with your code, then you don't bother to include the code. And you think Dagon is the dumbass in this scenario?

            all im pointing out here is I don't have code problem and maybe one of you just maybe , happens to experience the same thing, like the scripts all saying message sent successfully, but did not really send it to the email, if you guys really want the code then here it is

              <? 
              session_start();
              include_once"config.php";
              if(isset($_POST['login'])){
              $username= trim($_POST['username']);
              $password = trim($_POST['password']);
              if($username == NULL OR $password == NULL){
              $final_report.="Please complete both fields";
              }else{
              $check_user_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE `username` = '$username'") or die(mysql_error());
              if(mysql_num_rows($check_user_data) == 0){
              $final_report.="This username does not exist";
              }else{
              $get_user_data = mysql_fetch_array($check_user_data);
              if($get_user_data['password'] == $password){

                  You do potentially have a code problem. That code has no logic at all to check if the mail() function returned success or failure. No matter what happens, the script goes to the 'Thank You' message/redirect.

                  Also, you might want to pay attention to this, as it's a distinct possibility that it's part of the problem:

                  /* From email address, in case your server prohibits sending emails from addresses other than those of your 
                  own domain (e.g. email@yourdomain.com). If this is used then all email messages from your contact form will appear 
                  from this address instead of actual sender. */
                  
                  $from = '';
                  

                    Thanks Pikachu2000 but I already try it awhile ago like this $from = 'my@email/com'; but nothing happens

                      Maybe you can re-code it like add some smtp or something? will it work? like in wordpress I have to download this smtp plugin for it to work

                        Is that script provided by the hosting company or did you get it elsewhere?

                          I got it somewhere. its a cpalead reward script to be exact

                            You're going to need to test if the mail() function returns success. Keep in mind that returning success doesn't necessarily mean the mail actually sent. All it means it that the server accepted it. If it returns failure, it's quite possible the host has disallowed the function, or will make you jump through hoops to use it.

                            if( mail('put your email address here', 'Subject', 'Test body', 'From: email address here') ) {
                                 echo 'mail() returned success.';
                            } else {
                                 echo 'mail() returned failure.';
                            }

                                Sounds like that's your problem right there, unless you've configured PHP to use some external SMTP server.

                                  Can you help me modify the script to have an external smtp?
