Problem with Helpdesk software

[GeorgeOz]

Just a quick contact to see if someone could lend a hand on a clients website of mine?

It's a help desk software called ExoPHPDesk that I have installed.

It is supposed to email admins upon new user registrations, new tickets, etc but it doesn't do it anymore and Idon't know what i'm looking at to get the emails coming through again.

Is there any chance you could give me 5 mins of your time to help me out? I can pay you if needs be i don't mind.

I am desperate for someones help.

below is the register.php file. Not sure if this is all thats needed.

<?php

Hope you can help.

if it use to send mail and now doesn't, the obvious next question is what has changed?

[GeorgeOz]

I haven't got a clue, even a fresh install doesn't send emails. I can vaguely remember having to edit a file with email addresses, but i've looked through all files and can't see what I need to do as I am a beginner with PHP.

I need someone to have a look through the install for me and see if they can solve it?

[GeorgeOz]

Just found the mail function for the script....

This is in a conf.php

// MAIL FUNCTION FOR ExoPHPDesk

first thing i would try is to hard code a mail() call and see if that was working, can be done on any page on the server.

Thing is I haven't got a clue how to do that lol. I really don't know much of PHP at all.

option 1- learn. option 2- hire some one.

Mate, if there was any need for that then I would of said fair enough but there ain't so do one.

Option 1 - This is a 'General Help' forum... that is exactly what I am after, HELP. If it was as easy to learn all of PHP in the time the scripts are needed as you say it like, then this 'General Help' forum would be redundant.

Option 2 - I also mentioned in my 1st post 'I can pay you if needs be i don't mind.' Which in my mind probably means paying someone to do the work, which is also the same as hiring someone.

Mate, all I was asking for is help, not some arrogant posts back.

Cheers.

[dagon]

I attempted to help you, but your only responses is "I don't know how"; if you can't make an effort, why should I?

option 2. you cant advertise for jobs here, it's in the terms you should of read before joining.
