 mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $from);
 die; 


Have you configured your email server in the php.ini file? If not, you should go there first and make sure you have that configured before trying to send again.

Secondly, it looks like you were trying to send email from your local computer - make sure you have a webserver installed and running on that computer

Good luck

You have to include from in the headers, not the additional parameters.

PHP Code:

$headers  = "From: $from \r\n" . 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

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


Thanks.........Now it flagging up with this error:

PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 26, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\HostingSpaces\me\mywebsite.com\wwwroot\controll er\contact.controller.php on line 73

Any help would be appreciated.

change the php.ini file in the system32 dir
