Hi,

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

says for returnvalue of your mail command:

Return Values
Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE
otherwise.
It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for
delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended
destination.

So just change it in:
$mailresult = mail(..yourstuf fhere..);

And then use the value for $mailresult to display if the sending was
succesful.

echo (($mailresult) ? "SUCCES!":"PROB LEM WITH SENDING" );

Erwin Moller

Re: Help with mail script

The easiest way is to put it in a session variable and just echo the
session variable on the confirmation page...

//// on the form page, before the redirect
$_SESSION['sentmessage']=$messageproper ;

///// on the confirmation page
$OutPut=str_rep lace("\n","<br> ",$_SESSION['sentmessage']);
echo($OutPut);

Please learn to reply to the original message, instead of starting a new
thread.

Re: Help with mail script

I did reply; I didn't start a new thread. The original message is an old
one, but he hadn't gotten an answer. Load the messages from May or
thereabouts, and the original message will appear in the list rather than my
reply.

But thanks for the concern!

(Top posting fixed)

Sorry - I checked two different news servers, and the original message
wasn't on either one. I did check your headers, but didn't see the
message you were supposedly referencing, either.

Guess it was just too old for the servers. Sorry.
