email

Anon

hrm..I need a quick php script that will send an email. As simple as possible, trying to test my server, seems emails from my more complicated scripts arnt working, but maybe its my code...How would i do this very simply? (send an email via php).?

mail("$emailaddie", "$subject", "$body", "$headers");

Great...thanks for the quick response.

I ran this w/ working variables and it came up with no errors, and looked like it should have worked, but I got no email... I was thinking there might be some sort of serversie problem, any ideas?

I would say if you would like any further help on this, you will need to show us your SMTP Entry in the php.ini, tell us what you are using for SMTP, and platform.
I would also look through the logs and see if it is connecting to the smtp server and just not able to send.

I had the same problem with getting php/mail to work.

I'm very inexperienced with php, but after hours I found the problem lay with my ISP. I am using PHP on their servers.

They have a specific e-mail I had to usein the From field. See the line starting:

mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, "From: server@easyspace.com");

See script below, which I'm glad to say works for me.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Donald.

<?php

if ($sender_email and $message)

{

$msg = "Sender Name:\t$sender_name\n";
$msg .= "Sender E-Mail:\t$sender_email\n";
$msg .= "Message:\t$message\n\n";

$recipient = "you@you.com";
$subject = "Order Queries";

mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, "From: server@easyspace.com");

echo "
<p>";
echo "Thank You,
$sender_name";
echo "<P align=center>Your feedback has been
sent.</P>";
echo "
<p>";

} else {

echo "
<p>";
echo "There is no email address or
no message body.";
echo "<P align=center>Please go back and make sure
you have entered an email address and a message
body</P>";
echo "
<p>";

}
