mail not arriving at destination

I admit I am very new to php coding and hoped to find sme helpful articles here, but didn't know where to look :oops:

I wrote a very simple bit of code to check whether the mail() function works:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Mail test</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
mail('dominicdem@gmail.com','test email from mail_php','Saturday 21 Jan 2012','From: webmaster@stmarysplattchurch.org.uk' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: contact@stmarysplattchurch.org.uk' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion());
echo "mail sent";
?>
</body>
</html>

It echoes mail sent on loading the page, but nothing arrives at gmail. I checked with my host and they said my code should work, and that there is nothing server side that would stop it working. Can any of you guys think of anything?

Thanks in advance

hello,

i think your defined syntax is not correct, so try like this as given below :

<?php
$from = "webmaster@stmarysplattchurch.org.uk";
$to = "dominicdem@gmail.com";
$reply_to = "contact@stmarysplattchurch.org.uk"
$subject = "test email from mail_php";
$message= "test email !!!";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: '. $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$reply_to."\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

echo "mail sent";
?>
