[youradds]

Can anyone see any reasno why this code will not send?

mail("$email", $subject, $message,
"From: $adminemail\r\n"
."Reply-To: $adminemail\r\n"
."sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail\r\n"


Thanks

I would try putting quotes around $subject and $message... like this:

mail("$email",

"

$subject

"

,

"

$message

"

,
     "From: $adminemail\r\n"
    ."Reply-To: $adminemail\r\n"
    ."sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail\r\n");

it returns a value. 0 for error or 1 for success. if you get 1 and the mail does not arrive, can be of your SMTP. Then you need to remove the \r form the strings. Anikin

and echo $var or print_r($var) mcvdmvs

Erm...I'm using;

if ($debug) { echo "sending emails now..."; }
$mail = mail("$email", "$subject", "$message",
"From: $adminemail\r\n"
."Reply-To: $adminemail\r\n"
."sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail\r\n"

if ($debug) { echo "\$mail - $mail"; }

However, 1 or 0 is not returned. Any more ideas?

Thanks

Do you have to use that sendmail path? Or will your script work without it? mcvdmvs

Yes, or the SMTP server if you use windows. Anikin

hello,
Try using this

$header .= "From: $adminemail\r\n" ;
$header .= "Reply-To: $adminemail\r\n" ;
$header .= "sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail\r\n";

$test = mail("$email", $subject, $message,$header) ;

if(!test)
echo "error in sending mails";



also if ur using UNIX OS try removing the \r and seperate the headers only with \n.

hope that will help u.

I think there is a bug in the mail() function For some reason, when sending to non-redirected email account (i.e. my hotmail.com or tiscali.co.uk account) it gets sent fine. As soon as I send it through an account like ace-host.com (which redirects to my ticali.co.uk account) it just doesn't get through! Anyone else experienced this before?

Thanks

Andy
