function will not send mail!

[Tobierre]

Hi all,

I've created the below function to automatically send me an alert in outlook
when someone completes various forms on my website.

The problem though is that mail reports that I have only 1 of the 3 required
parameters defined!

I have no idea where this is going wrong, because as far as I can tell I
have defined all 3 parameters! Can anyone spot the problem?

Regards
Tobierre
<?PHP
function alert_outlook($ Type)
{
$Type = strtolower($Typ e);

switch($Type)
{
case 'newsletter':
$Subject = 'message subject one here';
$Alert = "Hi,\n Just thought you would like to know that there has been
another subscription to the newsletter!\n\n ";
break;

$Alert = wordwrap($Alert , 65);
}

//set headers etc
$Recipient = "Auto Alerts<Au****** **@domain.com>" ;

$Message = "\n\n{$Alert}\n \n\n";
$Message .= 'Date: ' . date("l, js F Y") . "\n";
$Message .= 'Time: ' . date("H:i:s") . "\n";
$Message .= 'IP Address: ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n";

$Headers = "FROM: Auto Mailer<Au****** **@Domain.com>\ r\n";

mail("$Recipien t, $Subject, $Message, $Headers");

//error check
if(!mail("$Reci pient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers"))
{
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
?>

Try this (and see if you can spot the changes):

<?php
function alert_outlook($ Type)
{
$Type = strtolower($Typ e);

switch($Type)
{
case 'newsletter':
$Subject = 'message subject one here';
$Alert = "Hi,\n Just thought you would like to know that there has been
another subscription to the newsletter!\n\n ";
break;
default:
$Subject = 'no subject';
$Alert = '';
}

$Alert = wordwrap($Alert , 65);

//set headers etc
$Recipient = "Auto Alerts <Au********@dom ain.com>";

$Message = "$Alert\n\n \n";
$Message .= 'Date: ' . date("l, js F Y") . "\n";
$Message .= 'Time: ' . date("H:i:s") . "\n";
$Message .= 'IP Address: ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n";

$Headers = "From: Auto Mailer <Au********@Dom ain.com>";

mail("$Recipien t, $Subject, $Message, $Headers");

//error check
if(!mail("$Reci pient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers"))
{
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
?>

Oops, that should be

mail($Recipient , $Subject, $Message, $Headers);

Hi phil,

Thanks for that. Got rid of the PHP mail parser warning, but even with your
suggestion it will still not send the e-mail! the error check returns
false!!

Got another suggestion? as I'm fresh out today

what you can do, do this way.
I hope it will work.
$is_sent = mail("$Recipien t, $Subject, $Message, $Headers");

if ($is_sent === TRUE){
echo "Sent successfully";
}else{
echo "Got problem in sending an email.";
}
Good luck.

[benny]

correction.

$is_sent = mail($Recipient , $Subject, $Message, $Headers);
if ($is_sent === TRUE){
echo "Sent successfully";
}else{
echo "Got problem in sending an email.";
}
