Try use POST instead of REQUEST in your php form.

Also use the correct code tags when you post code in these forums!

Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use [code] tags in future.

Usually in programming you check results from commands. You have not done that.

So first check the result of the mail() function, print that and, when your mail is successfully sent without errors, and it does not arrive, look at the existence of the receiving mailbox.

Then come back.

I am not sure, but 1 means true. So I am guessing that that means it sent the mail (provided you filled in the fields required).

Your mail() function should be like this tutorial. Have you tried to send it to your address? Did it come through?

Your form submission method has been changed to what I recommended, but your variables called by php ($email, $subject, $message) are still coming from a request ($_REQUEST['email'], $_REQUEST['subject'], $_REQUEST['message']).

You need to change your code to:
[PHP]$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$subject = $_POST['subject'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;[/PHP]

Then it should work...

hi
the servant

i'm really sorry but it still not working
i have changed from [php]
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];[/php]to[php]
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$subject = $_POST['subject'] ;
$message = $_POST['message'] ;[/php]But it is still not working . I'm really upset why its not working because my module is getting delayed.

**TheServant** · Apr 11 '08, 07:08 AM

Sorry did you also change isset($_REQUEST['email']) to isset($_POST['email'])?

After looking at that link I gave you, they use REQUEST, so not 100% sure you can't do that... I only use POST though...

So are you getting an error, or is the email just not coming through?

Why don't you like $_REQUEST()?

it basically just tries to get the vars from $_GET[], $_COOKIE[], and $_POST[] anyway.

not in that order though.

You insisted so much on something not relative.

How about asking if he's got PHP.INI configured to send mail and SMTP points to a valid SMTP server that sends mail.

peace out,

DM

Personally I like to be exact, so if (I know this is unlikely) someone has 2 variables called the same thing, one in a COOKIE and then POSTs one, there could be issues. After this post I have been looking into it more and have realised that I was wrong to change that. You are right it is irrelavent and does not need to be changed.
