I pointed this out to you in my original post:
you mail() call should be:
mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $Message, "From: $MailFromAddress");
not:
mail("$MailToAddress", "$MailSubject", "$Message", "From:
$MailFromAddress");
In other words, I don't think you should wrap plain $vars in double
quotes... it may be the cause of the problem, or it may just slow down PHP a
little when not needed.
For debugging, instead of sending the mail(), just do this:
echo "To: {$MailToAddress}<BR />\n";
echo "Subject: {$MailSubject}<BR />\n";
echo "Message: {$Message}<BR />\n";
echo "From: {$MailFromAddress}<BR />\n";
In otherwords, you should be looking to see if each $var you're sending to
the mail() function IS WHAT YOU EXPECT, once you're sure they're correct,
THEN you can pipe them back into a mail() call, and test.
Possibly mail() is not working on the server at all. A great way to test
that would be to create a SEPARATE SCRIPT which just has this:
<?
$to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$sub = 'really simple test';
$msg = 'testing, testing\n\ntestingtesting';
$header = 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
mail($to, $sub, $msg, $header);
?>
The reason for creating a separate script is to ensure that you're only
testing the mail() function, not anything else.
You could also try turning your error reporting on to a higher level, which
may indicate the bug.
