Hello,
I am having problems with the mail() function, but I don't know what the
problems are.
Here is a snippet of code:
$to = "jm******@comcast.net";
$from = "Ga*****@gafok.com";
$subject = "Gallery Comment";
$msg = "You have received a comment from " . $commenter_name;
$msg .= "\n\nAt index: " . $index;
$msg .= "\n\nIP address: " . $IPNumber;
$msg .= "\n\nComment: " . stripslashes($comment_text);
mail($to, $subject, $msg, "$from") or print "Cannot send mail \n";
I keep getting the "Cannot send mail" message and I want to see why. Is
there any way to see what the error really is?
thanks,
_James Luongo 3 4066
Check the [Mail Function] section of your php.ini file and make sure the
path to your mail server is correct.

news:3F**************@nospam.comcast.net... You are correct about the From: field, but that didn't solve the problem. It's still not sending the mail and I wish to find out what the error code or message is.

_James Luongo Your From: header is wrong. Read up on the RFC or omit it. I do believe that your From header should look like (untested)
$from = "From: Ga*****@gafok.com\r\n";

Hi James,
The correct From header would be (and don't forget \r\n):
$from = "From: Ga*****@gafok.com\r\n";
// ..
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $from) or print "Cannot send mail \n";
If you are on Linux/Unix, check the path to sendmail in php.ini - on
Windows make sure you've set the SMTP server entry in php.ini to a valid
SMTP server.

I'd recommend checking php.ini to see if php is writing an error log file.
If it is, check in the error log, there may be more information on the
problem in there.
