[Skunkworks] Sending mail from php

25 Sep 2009

      Hi Devs,

I have this script and for the life of me I cant tell where the problem is.
It is submitting successfully but the mail is not being sent. As in the $to
does not get the email. Could it be a problem with the hosting?

<?php
session_start();
$uname = "1234";
$email = "test@test.test";
$phone = "1234";
$query = "How to 123";
$message = "Name: " . $uname . "\n\n" . "Phone Number: " . $phone . "\n\n" .
"Email Address: " . $email . "\n\n" . "Query: " . $query;

function redirect($msg, $page)
{
    $_SESSION['msg'] = $msg;
    header("Location: $page");
    exit();
}

//$message = $uname . \n\n . $phone .
$to = "mail2lawi@gmail.com";
$receiver = "My Test Site";
$subject = "Contact Us Form";
$headers .= "From:" . $email . "\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Unknown";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
        //print "success, mail successfully sent to $to";
        $msg = "Mail sent to $receiver";
        $page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        $_SESSION['status'] = $msg;
        redirect($msg, $page);
}
else
{
        //print "failure, mail failed to be sent to $to";
        $msg = "Mail not sent to $receiver";
        $page = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        redirect($msg, $page);
}
?>
