Hello Guys,

You have probably seen this a million tims butim new to anything php (or website for that matter really).

My wife has recently taken over a company from her parents and has been given the website, they have changed their name and hosting company, they have a website designed in frontpage thst i have swapped from one hosting company (linux)andchanged toanother (windowsbased).

Im having problems getting the online form to email "leads" to their sales email, heres the code which is being used (that works on their old server)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php">
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "sales@121-vans.com";
$mailsubj = "Form submission";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form by : ".$REMOTE_ADDR."\n\nVisiting Page : ".$HTTP_REFERER."\n\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
</script>

Now all ive doen is change the email adddress -

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php">
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "sales@vandiscount.co.uk";
$mailsubj = "Form submission";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form by : ".$REMOTE_ADDR."\n\nVisiting Page : ".$HTTP_REFERER."\n\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; }
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
</script>

and this doesnt work on the new server (neither will the old email from the new server)

Has anyone any ideas? Ive asked for the hosting to change to linux from windows and also used -

<?php
$to = "sales@vandiscount.co.uk";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

to test that everything works how it should.

Thanks for any help

Hi wynthorpe,

All of your code looks fine.. I would try making a php file to check the settings that your web hoster has set up.

Try copying this code into a new php file

PHP Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Check the SMTP Settings(just search for SMTP), and see if it gives a port number, and what it is configured to. It is possible that the web hoster dosent have it configured right... Hope this helps!

ASLO-- Try this code, and see what message that you get

PHP Code:

<?php
$to = "sales@vandiscount.co.uk";
$subject = "Test Email";
$body = "The email worked!";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("<p>Email Worked!</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Email Failed</p>");
 }
?>

Hi!

It is probably need to indicate path to sendmail.

My advise is contact your hosting company.

Alsom try simple mail function.



<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

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

Potentially silly question on my part but did you ask for frontpage extensions to be installed on those accounts?

FP does things in a perverted way.

BTW I have never seen code like what you posted.

I'm going to paste a script that i have tested hundreds of times on different projects

PHP Code:
