Can't get PHP to send mail anymore

[Anon]

Ok at a little loss here.
I had PHP4 sending no problems tested it working great. wrote a couple of form mail pages useing the $formsent = mail and if ($formsent -- 1) examples from the PHP bible book. worked great. sent an email to the guy i'm building the site for and it won't work. the only thing i've done inbetween testing and it not working was load majordomo list server. know i don't know if that's what caused it but it's the only thing i've done that i can remember.

on of the things i've tried was create a new php file with

<?php
mail("[e-mail]", test", "test");
print ("hope this works");
?>

and you guessed it nothing.

I've checked my PHP.ini in my /etc directory and sendmail is pointing to /usr/lib and the sendmail file there.

anyone now what else i can check

Try actually sending an email using sendmail from a terminal - if it works, the problem is PHP related, if not it's a problem with sendmail.

Either way, you;ve ruled out half the system straight away which can't be bad 🙂

at the terminal i type sendmail [e-mail] hit enter the a simple message then a . on a blank line and it sends the email fine.

now i don't know if this is normal or not (since new to php.)
if i run the script at the terminal i get
syntax error near unexpected token 'mail("[e-mail]", '

now not sure if that's when you normaly get if you run the php file in terminal but was desperate for idea's.
