Email not getting through

[nick2price]

Hey, I never receive email with my php code, and my host is saying that all services are up and mail is enabled. However, I am sure it is a host problem, I cannot see what else it can be. Just want to clear things up quickly though. In my root folder, I create a php file called test. Inside this file is the basic code

Code: Select all

<?php
$ADDR = "test@aol.com";
if (mail($ADDR,"Testing","This is a test")) {
echo "Mail function succeeded<br />";
} else {
echo "Mail function FAILED<br />";
}
?>

If I then navigate to the url mywebsite.com/test.php, will the php code automatically be executed? And could someone please confirm that the code is correct. When I navigate to the url, I get returned the succeeded message. So it appears it works, but the mail never gets delivered. I have tried different email addresses all with different providers.

Could anyone shed some light on what my issue may be?

Many thanks

1st check your junk folder. Make sure that your filtered list includes the domain name from and to the email that your sending.

or if that doesn't work. Try using this. Just change the email names to the ones you want to use. Your sample above doesn't include any header information

Code: Select all

<?php
// recipients email address
$to  = 'admin@domain.com'; // note the comma


// subject
$subject = 'Subject of the message';

// message
$message = 'Type in the body of your message here';

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

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: My Name <myname@domain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: myname@domain.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: myname@domain.com' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
