php email problems

[Allan R. Batteiger]

Greetings
This script file ran till I had a HD crash and had to rebuild my
server. Unfurtunately I had everything backed up but some files from
/etc.
this is a simpel formtoemail script that come with webforms.
if I run the script from a shell it sends the email
if I run it from a www page I do not get an email.

this is the current printout I get if the mail does not send.
mail returned FalseThe following was sent on 22/02/07(Thu) @ 15:41

I am attempting to find out why the mail() funtion did not work.
my sinppet of code looks like this:
error_reporting (E_ALL);
// send the email
if(mail($your_e mail, $subject, $message, "From: $name <$email>"))
{ // go to return URL
if (isset($thankyo u)) {
header("Locatio n: $thankyou");
exit();
}
}
else
{
echo " mail returned False";
echo $message;
echo $php_errormsg;
exit();
}

I am not a php programmer and I have spent the last couple fo days trying
to figure out how to get any possible error messages from this script to
enlighten me as to where the problem may be. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
System is Linux FC6 / Apache / PHP / CommuniGate Pro ( email server)

Thanks

<http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.p hp#ini.track-errors>

ini_set('track_ errors',true);

Or define it in php.ini/httpd.conf/.htacces
