PHP Mail form won't work - WHY?

will7 · 07-13-2004, 09:44 AM

I am stuck. This mail form I made in PHP doesn't work when as far as I can see, it should. The code is:

PHP Code:

  <?php

$to="willnarburgh@msn.com";

$subj="FusionCre8 Contact Form";

$msg="Name: ".$_POST['fname']." \r \n E-Mail Address: ".$_POST['email']." \r \n Query Type: 

 
".$_POST['qtype']." \r \n Message: ".$_POST['msg']." \r \n;

 
if(mail($to, $sunj, $msg))

{

    header( "thanks.htm" );

} else {

    header( "notsent.htm" );

}

?>

And this is the error I get:

Also, any other problems you can see would be helpful. Thanks people, will7.

PHP Code:

  $msg="Name: ".$_POST['fname']." \r \n E-Mail Address: ".$_POST['email']." \r \n 

Query Type:  ".$_POST['qtype']." \r \n Message: ".$_POST['msg']." \r \n;

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=38609
you forgot a " at the end of that line before the ;

." \r \n";

Woah! If I do that, I get a crazy error:

Yes I will post a working copy of it. I think it's coz it's on a web server on my comp so when I actually put it on da intanet it should work. We shall see when I get my hosting...

you mispelled $subj

you spelled it as $sunj

that will probably change some things
