mail() problem

[Anon]

On script

<?php
mail(\"[e-mail]\", \"Subject\",
\" Name = $name
L Name = $lname
email = $mail\" );
?>

When i test it on Apache he tells me that there is Server Error on line 5?!

did you tell PHP which mailserver you want to use in php.ini?

Why use this?

<?php
mail(\"[e-mail]\", \"Subject\",
\" Name = $name
L Name = $lname
email = $mail\" );
?>

Just do it this way, without all the backslashes

<?php
mail("[e-mail]",
"Subject",
" Name = $name
L Name = $lname
email = $mail" );
?>

The backslashes are sometimes add by a bug in the forum.

If the slashes were in there for real, he'd get a very clear syntax error.
