PHP Problems - Sending Mail from Form

[tonyb68]

Hi - Not sure if this is exactly the right forum to enter this is - but need to start somewhere as I don't know where it's not working.

I have a contact form on a flash website, when the submit button is pressed, another window opens to say the mail has been sent - when it hasn't (Ihave changed this to read there was a problem). I can't see anything in the logfiles to say what hasn't worked - but it's driving me crazy. The file called upon is contact.php which is why I'm here;

<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
     if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}
 
 
 
reset($post_vars);
 
$sendTo ="[e-mail]" ;
$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers="From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
$headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
$message='';
  while ($mess = current($post_vars)) {
      if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your_email") && (key($post_vars)!="your_name")) {
 
         $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";
    }
    next($post_vars);
 }
 
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message. $headers);
echo ("There was a problem sending the email - sorry for the inconvenience");
 
?>
 

<script>
    resizeTo(450, 300);
</script>
 

Can anyone help? Do you need anymore information?

Thanks

Not too sure, but your code looks wrong, the error message should fire all the time successful or otherwise. In any case, the built-in mail function is not really a very good sender.

Not sure..may u try with
[code=php]
if(! mail($sendTo, $subject, $message. $headers))
{
echo ("There was a problem sending the email - sorry for the inconvenience");
}
[/php]

The error message does come up all the time- I changed the text as it used to say "thanks - your mail has been sent succesfully" - when it hadn't.

The problem is the message does not send or I don't get it - and I've got no idea how to make it work - happy to have it saying thanks - your mail has been sent succesfully" when I know it's going to get to me.
