Im trying to use the PHP mail function, but it just doesnt seem to work. PHP 4.3.11 is running on the server. my script has:

PHP Code:

  <?php

            $fname=$_POST['fname'];

            $lname=$_POST['lname'];

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/136591-php-mail.html
            $address=$_POST['address'];

            $city=$_POST['city'];

            $state=$_POST['state'];

            $zip=$_POST['zip'];

            $size=$_POST['size'];

            $date=date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A');

            if($size=="s"){

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=136591
                $size="12\" x 18\"";

                }

            else if($size=="l"){

                $size="24\" x 36\"";

                }

            $email="webmaster@example.com";

            $subject=$fname . " " . $lname . "Poster Order";

            $body="Order Information:\n" . 

            "First Name: " . $fname . "\n" .

            "Last Name: " . $lname . "\n" . 

            "Address: " . $address . "\n" .

            "City: " . $city . "\n" .

            "State: " . $state . "\n" . 

            "Zip Code: " . $zip . "\n" . 

            "Poster Size: " . $size . "\n" . 

            "Time and date of order: " . $date;

            $header="From: posterorders@example.com" . "\r\n"

            $sent=mail($email,$subject,$body,$header);

            if($sent==TRUE){

            echo Sent;

            }

            else{

            echo Not Sent;

            }

?>

Edit: You have no semicolon after the header = line

Hmm, Im not sure but why do you have this:

PHP Code:

   $header="From: posterorders@example.com" . "\r\n"

instead of just

PHP Code:

   $header="From: posterorders@example.com" 

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=136591

Take a look in the notes at php.net on the mail page, If I remember correctly if you do not dothis it causes problems with outlook express.
