newbie php mail question.

[kyre]

so I'm using flash which calls a php email form. I've used the form before and it works perfectly except now I'm trying it on a clients server (godaddy.com) and I just found out through tech support that godaddy doesn't support mail() . they say due to spammers? ok so is there another function to call instead of mail()?

this is the script I need to work.
<?php
$ToEmail = 'email@email.com';

$ToSubject = "subject line here";

$EmailBody = "SENT BY: $Name\n\nATTENDING?: $radio\n\nNUMBER OF PEOPLE: $NumberPeople\n";

mail($ToName." <".$ToEmail.">",$ToSubject, $EmailBody, "From: ".$Name." <".$Email.">");

?>


and this is godaddy's php email code.
<?php
$request_method = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
if($request_method == "GET"){
$query_vars = $_GET;
} elseif ($request_method == "POST"){
$query_vars = $_POST;
}
reset($query_vars);
$t = date("U");
$fp = fopen("../data/gdform_$t","w");
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars)) {
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\n");
fputs($fp,"$val\n");
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\n");
if ($key == "redirect") { $landing_page = $val;}
}
fclose($fp);
if ($landing_page != ""){
header("Location:

http://".$_SERVER

["HTTP_HOST"]."/$landing_page");
} else {
header("Location:

http://".$_SERVER

["HTTP_HOST"]."/");
}


?>



any help would be apprciated.

PHP provides one builtin function for sending mail, the eponymous mail() function.

That said, if you are allowed to do so by your sysadmins, it is possible to send email via PHP's socket function calls. Basically, do what the mail() function does, only using multiple function calls.

Before you even start with this, I recommend that you talk to your hosting provider. If they've shut off mail(), I'm thinking they'll have shut off PHP's socked functions, too.
