[Tinus]

Dear friends

I am trying to sendd a mail from my php code:
php gives a message that the mail was send successfully but nothing is actually sended.("i receive nothing")

Thanks you for the help!

$to = "bbesa@aol.com";
$subject = "BWI SHARE RESULTS!";
$body = $theData;
$from="bbesa@aol.com";
$headers = "From: .$from";
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} 
else 
{
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}

My phpinfo() is saying
Configuration File (php.ini) Path no value

Loaded Configuration File C:\aptana\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\php \php.ini


My php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = something.something.ac.za
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port=234

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from

sendmail_from = 12552690@nwu.ac.za

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path

sendmail_path = “C:\aptana\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t”

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header = Off

; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
mail.log = "\aptana\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\apache\logs\php_mail.log"

sendmail.ini

Did you check your junk mail?

Hi Jking

Yes,also nothing in spam.
Line 6 has been changed to
if (mail($to,$subj ect,$body,$head ers))

But it is still not working.

Not all headers are set, set all headers or leave them away...
and:

$headers = "From: .$from";
Keep variables out of the quotes:
$headers = "From: ".$from;

Thanks for the reply

My php file looks as follow and I have also changed sendmail.ini:

$from_name = "BESAWEB";
$from_email= "1232690@nwk.ac.za";
$headers   = "From: $from_email";
$body      = "Hi, \n This is a test mail from $from_name <$from_email>.";
$subject   = "Test mail from besa";
$to        = "1232690@nwk.ac.za";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) 
{echo "mail success!";} 
else {echo "mail fail…";}

Why is phpinfo saying configuration File (php.ini) Path no value ?
