There's no errors, it just won't send the mail out...

You sure sendmail is installed and/or your php.ini file is properly configured to handle mail? I didn't review that form, but if you are running a dev server on windows, windows does not come with a standard stmp mail client.

JeremyM

I'm 100% that everything with the server is fine and that it's my crap coding

JeremyM

Jun 26 2006, 01:58 AM

Ehh...bump!

Klass

Jun 26 2006, 02:10 AM

out of curisoity how do you know your server sends mail?

JeremyM

Jun 26 2006, 02:33 AM

The owner of the company told me...

Κeith

Jun 26 2006, 05:58 AM

Just write a mail.php page and have it do nothing but send an e-mail.

CODE

<?php
mail('your@email.host', 'testing', 'testing');
?>

If that works then you'll need to narrow it down from there. Start with post vars.

JeremyM

Jun 28 2006, 11:39 PM

Like I said before, I can send emails, but my php coding won't allow me...

Digi

Jun 29 2006, 03:56 AM

So, you have checked that mail was properly sent with a script similar to the above? Why is answering (or doing) simple things so hard for people?

(retorts expected response)

You haven't said that you have actually did the tests people have suggested, but simply said that "the owner of the company said it was true". This isn't evidence enough to prove that your script is in the wrong.

I can say that MetalFrog is a transvestite and people might think I am telling the truth. Doesn't make it correct though.... or does it

Κeith

Jun 29 2006, 01:20 PM

It does.

n't.

Digi

Jun 29 2006, 04:00 PM

JeremyM

Jun 29 2006, 07:04 PM

Yes of course I did the script...and it sent, can someone review my coding please?

JeremyM

Aug 1 2006, 03:38 AM

Can anyone please review this code?

Κeith

Aug 1 2006, 03:42 AM

You still haven't answered our questions. >_< What else is there for us to review?

JeremyM

Aug 1 2006, 04:20 AM

Can you please mention what questions you asked?

Klass

Aug 1 2006, 12:58 PM

yes we can mention them "Scroll Up" too see them.

JeremyM

Aug 1 2006, 06:09 PM

The only thing you asked for was if the sendmail is installed and if the php.ini file was configured proberly. This is easily found out by doing that 3 lined php code, which I did and said worked. Did you guys not see that?

Digi

Aug 1 2006, 08:45 PM

There is nothing that I see wrong with the script. Again, make sure that php mail (not the same as sendmail) is proerly configured.

Nothing you can see wrong... UNLESS... you DO have Register Globals turned on, right?

(If so, eww, why?)

Since if you don't, that will all fail because $id will be undefined!

Digi

Aug 2 2006, 04:58 PM

good catch

How would I be able to turn on/off?

It depends on your server config. You would need to contact your webhost to find out the appropriate method for your server. Alternatively, and this is DEFINITELY what I would recommend, replace all instances of variables in your code like $id with "$_REQUEST['variable-name']" replacing variable-name with the name of the field in the HTML form.
