mail function

Posted 02 July 2006 - 10:43 PM

HI!

I am working with a simple feed back form.

Here, when user will submit their feedback it will store in a define mail account.


But after submitting the form no mail is storing the that mail account.

My code is as follows:

<html>
 <head>
 <title>Feedback</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?
 if(isset($submit)){
  $to = "username@yahoo.com"; // Enter YOUR email here
 $subject = "Feedback for the Website!";
$body = "A test for feedback on the site!\n";
 $body .= "Their feedback is:\n\n";
 $body .= $feedback;
 mail($to, $subject, $body);
 print("<h2>Thanks for your feedback!</h2>");
 } else {
?>
<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="POST">
<h2>Please Send us your Feedback</h2>
<textarea cols=35 rows=15 name="feedback">
</textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?
 }
 ?>
</body>
 </html>








Please help me!!!

When you mention storing the mail in adefined account, do you mean saving that email message, or sending? If sending, has the system been properly configured to send mail?

Is your spam filter catching it? I've had troubles with that before.

I think, according to my script when any user would submit the feedback from, its message part will be stored in that specific email account.

And there will be the text "Thanks for your feedback!" which user'll get after the submission of the form.


Am I wrong?


Even nothing is storing as the spam mail!!! I've already checked it.

And one more thing. I've done this work b4 but the server was different at that time. I have asked to the server authority this time about having sendmail option... but they didn't reply anything.



Now please tell me what to do.

Its very urgent. Actually in this project the client wnats to store aal the feedback in their specified mail account, not in any database(table).


Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Regards

What exactly is the problem? If you send the mail, does it get to the intended recipient? If yes, then is the problem that the mail is not being stored in the sent mail folder of the sender?

Have you tried sending test mail to another account? Preferably with a different provider (think hotmail or gmail).

Also, how about you stick error_reporting(E_ALL) at the beginning of your code? If there is an error with the mail function you'll know.

Ho yea hotsnoj, you are right. After chaining the account the mail is storing but, there is another problem.

Please check the following .....
**[
$message = "<center><html><body><br><p style='margin-left: 2; margin-right: 15' class=body1><font face='arial' color='#999999'>Name &nbsp;&nbsp;".$name."<br>Address :&nbsp;&nbsp;".$adr."<br>Country :&nbsp;&nbsp;".$country."<br>Phone No :&nbsp;&nbsp;".$phn."<br>Occupation :&nbsp;&nbsp;" .$occu. "<br>Comments :&nbsp;&nbsp;".$msg."\n<br><font></center></body></html>";

]**
In the mail message the html tags are getting visible. Please tell me what to do.

To send HTML email, I believe the content headers have to be set to html...there is an example here:
