sending email from a php page

[shivamverma]

Hi, Everyone
I m working on a complaint management site and one of the requirement is sending a email to the administrator.

I changed the php.ini file now it looks like

[mail function]
SMTP = my outgoing smtp mail server
sendmail_from = [e-mail]
; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i').
sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
 

My code is quite simple

<?php 
if(mail('[e-mail]', 'Hi', 'Hello'))
{
 echo('<p>Mail sent successfully 3.</p>'); 
}
else
{
 echo('<p>Mail could not be sent.</p>');
}
?>

Now i m getting mail sent successfully as the output
Everything sounds so good till here,but the problem here is that the mail is not getting delivered to [e-mail](both the email's are valid)
My php version doesnt support getmxrr() so i m not able to check has the mail been delivered to the recipient mail server or not.


I m using
OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, v.2096 (build 2600)
Php: 4.1.1
Server API: CGI

If any more information is required then please let me know.
Hoping for some quick help!!!
Anyone Please,Thanks In advance.

Did you use the right parameters in the head?
See headers...
Like so:
[PHP]
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Put your subject down here.";
$message = "Here you can put your message";

$headers = 'From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail ($to, $onderwerp, $message, $headers);
echo "<p align=\"center\">Email succesfully send...";
[/PHP]

As header's are the optional field in mail function so i didnt use them
Anyways i used them to but still no error and no mail delivery either.

What was that $onderwerp that u used instead of $subject.
and i m not having x mailer installed.
i m using php triad as i mentioned

Nothing is working!!!
Thanx in advance.

You could send messages with an SMTP connection using Swiftmailer.

Oh sorry,
That was the $subject but that's in dutch.
I replaced the $onderwerp to $subject but i forgot to change it in the mail function.
