[RESOLVED] form mail sends from one domain but not another

troutmissile

Both domains are hosted by godaddy, so I suspect an "our only wish is to enslave you with our useless webformailer" issue, but would my form then work on one domain and not another?

"if($thing)" works as a condition for all other queries in the form, so I assume there could be no problem with that part.

And I am using exactly the same code for the entire site on another domain, and mail works fine from there.

But on this domain, the form updates the db as it should, and then returns to SELF as it should, but no email is sent. I am positive it is not going to spam.

What all to do if it is the server?

	list($thing)...; 
	list($to_email) = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select email from users where id = '$id'"));	

$gomessage = "Hello";

if($thing) {  	
        mysql_query("update users set stuff='1' where id='$id'");
	@mail($to_email, "Hi", $gomessage,
        "From: \"Me\" <auto-reply@$host>\r\n" .
        "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); 

$ret = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?'.$_POST['query_str'];	 
header("Location: $ret");
exit();

}

I tried it without the @ in front of mail too.
No editing posts here...?

don't just remove the @, check what the function returns.

troutmissile

tried that, no difference.

can i put in another condition with an echo or something that will clue me in about what is happening?

jgetner

well from my quick googling check to see if you have an email limit?

troutmissile

the limit would have to be like two per day.

thanks for the reply though-- i'll take any help i can get!

as i said see what the function returns.

i have tried it without the @ and the same thing happens: the form updates the db and the page is refreshed to show the update, but it doesn't send the email.

i am not sure where i should be looking for "what function it returns."

johanafm

$retval = funcCall();
echo $retval;
error_log($retval);

And you should do the same with the call to mysql_query as well.

troutmissile

error_log-- nice! i didn't know about that! love php.
i'll be back this evening and will post update.
thanks a lot!

troutmissile

it turned out to be

"From: \"Me\" <auto-reply@$host>\r\n"

i had not set host in the configuration file.

and that's why i'm in the newb forum!
