MAIL FUNCTION NOT WORKING

[dadms]

I have built a simple email in PHP that had been working fine for about 6 months. My host has updated PHP to 4.3.11 and it has stopped working. Anybody else had this issue or any suggestions?

Even this simple email script doesnt work.
<?
$to = "xxxxxx@somewhere.net";
$subject = "ZDNet Developer article";
$msg = "I completely understand SMTP servers now!";
$headers = "From: me@mycompany.com\nReply-To: someoneelse@mycompany.com";
$config = "-fwebmaster@mycompany.com";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers", "$config");
echo "finished!";
?>

Looks fine, check with your hosting company.

Just a couple of suggestions:

1. When making a function call catch errors. mail() returns a boolean value that should be inspected, it could be that it returns true now, or false...

2. I always recommend PHPMailer as the best class available for sending e-mail with PHP. See
