Mail()
I read a mail script tutorial, and pretty much copied the code, but it doesn't work for some reason

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?PHP
  3. if($submit){
  4. $msg = "Sender Name:t$_POST[name]n";
  5. $msg .= "Sender E-Mail:t$_POST[email]n";
  6. $msg .= "Message:t$_POST[msg]nn";
  7.  
  8. $recipient = "goodmusicforlamepeople@hotmail.com";
  9. $subject = "$_POST[subject]";
  10.  
  11. $mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> n";
  12. $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[email]nn";
  13.  
  14. mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
  15. echo "<b>Thank you!</b>n";
  16.  
  17. }
  18.  
  19. else{
  20. ?>
  21. <form method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
  22. Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="10"; maxlength="50" class="textbox">
  23.  
  24. <br>Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="10"; maxlength="50" class="textbox">
  25.  
  26. <br>
  27. <select name="subject" class="dropdown">
  28. <option value="news">News</option>
  29. <option value="album">Album Review</option>
  30. <option value="gig">Gig Review</option>
  31. <option value="interviews">Interview</option>
  32. <option value="tabs">Tab</option></select>
  33.  
  34. <br><textarea name="msg" cols=40 rows=8></textarea>
  35.  
  36.  
  37.  
  38.  
  39. <br><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button"> <input type="reset" class="button">
  40. </form>
  41. <?php
  42. }
  43. ?>

RE: Mail()
I think you need to have some type of email address in between the <>'s..:

$mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> n";

also, what operating system? any error messages?

RE: Mail()
I'm not getting any errors, But it doesn't seem to be sending, also, when I click submit it doesn't get rid of the form and display the "Thank you!". I'm using this script on l33t.ca server

RE: Mail()
I would suspect that the if($submit) condition is never being met.

RE: Mail()
seems odd to verify with the submit either way.. : try changing the following

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?PHP
  3. if($_POST[name] != "" && $_POST[email] != "" && $_POST[msg] != ""){
  4. $msg = "Sender Name:t$_POST[name]n";
  5. $msg .= "Sender E-Mail:t$_POST[email]n";
  6. $msg .= "Message:t$_POST[msg]nn";
  7.  
  8. $recipient = "goodmusicforlamepeople@hotmail.com";
  9. $subject = "$_POST[subject]";
  10.  
  11. $mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> n";
  12. $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[email]nn";
  13.  
  14. mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
  15. echo "<b>Thank you!</b>n";
  16.  
  17. }
  18.  
  19. else{
  20. echo "<b>all fields are required</b><br><br>n";
  21. ?>

RE: Mail()
I think your problem was that you didn't have "name=submit" in your submit button :

<input type="submit" name=submit value="Submit" class="button"> <input type="reset" class="button">
</form>
