send mail php error

[laurasamps]

can anyone see my (probably obvious) mistake here? sorry for posting code but i really am stuck...

its not the security issue im concerned about, its just the actual sending of the mail. the code takes the user to the thank you page, but it does not send the email to our email account. any ideas much appreciated!


<?php
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$usersname = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$position = $_POST['position'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$employees = $_POST['employees'];
$SendEmail ="[e-mail]";


$subject = "Feedback Form Results";

$message = "message from x.com payroll: (".$SendEmail.")\n\r";
$message .= "name ".$usersname."\n\r";
$message .= "Company ".$company."\n\r";
$message .= "Position ".$position."\n\r";
$message .= "Phone ".$phone."\n\r";
$message .= "Email ".$email."\n\r";
$message .= "employees ".$employees."\n\r";

$mailheaders = "content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";

mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $message, $mailheaders);

header( "Location: x.php");

?>

Hi there laurasamps,

Stating the obvious, but have you checked the junk folder of the receiving email account...

As for the code, I can't see anything obvious wrong, you could always do this:

if(mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $message, $mailheaders)){
header( "Location: x.php");
}
else{
//mail failure
}

mail() returns a bool on execution, so check to see if it's true or false, then display accordingly..

I would also just echo the contents of $message to see if it gets populated as your expecting.

Cheers,
MRb

You need a from header as a minimum either on the server or in the mail code:

$mailheaders = 'From: [e-mail]' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: [e-mail]';
