PHP form mailer not working?

I am fairly new to PHP and i found an open source form mailer script so that you could send form feedback to your email but it doesnt seem to be working i set the mailer.php file to send to sharkey182uk at hotmail dot com (spam reasons i wrote it like this here) after i have submitted it brings up my thankyou.php file but it doesnt seem to be working correctly. I have tested it a few times but still no luck could anyone please help me out.


Any help is greatly appreciated. :thumbsup:

i suggest you try with a non hotmail account

hotmail can be funny they block spammers(not saying your a spammer)

but your host may have been blacklisted this is proberbly not there fault

they may have had a customer who abused there servers(they can be removed from list but it takes time

you could also try changing the headers you are sending

ps/ it would be better to post some code as this might help to identify the cause

This is my form mailer code here. Yeah i agree it coudl be my host.

Hey guys ive received the emails now but there is still one problem the fact that i added more <input>s etc to the forum only the ones in the template emailed to me. Could it be that they all have the same name="message" as i have changed that now.

Hope yous can help

I would recommend this formmail script....it's easy to setup, and it has worked well for me, no matter how many fields you have. It's a php clone of the famous matt's script archive formmail script. It's a lot longer than the once you have.....so thinking it's a lot more intelligent, it will allow form validation, etc......built in.
