Mail Function

[Agreaves]

Im trying to send an email from my php script, but its not working. I tried from my host company. Below is the test script im using.

<?php 

$to = "[e-mail]";

$subj = "Cash and Freebies Registration";

$msg = "Thank you and welcome to Cash and Freebies. Your username is '$username' and your password is '$password'. Please retain this email for future 			 			reference.";

$headers = "bcc: [e-mail]";

$mail = mail($to, $subj, $msg, $headers) or die(mysqli_error());

?>

Is error reporting turned on, and do you get any warnings/errors?

Missing from header perhaps? If no default from header is specified in php.ini, you must specify this when sending the mail.

A lot of the cheaper hosting solutions out there won't allow you to send email like this. Some require you to send via SMTP, other require you to upgrade your package, etc.

Check first with the hosting company to see if you're actually allowed to send email using mail() like this.

Also, your die() command is attempting to display the last error you had with your database, which is not what you actually want I'm sure!
