I am not able to send mail from PHP scripts

2 ways

1- put a link in the linux/programming zone in here in EE

2- paste your script and a phpinfo()

3- you can execute with the user apache  sendmail? /usr/lib/sendmail   in console mode ? ????

what say in /var/mail/maillog ?

CoolATIGuy,

I am using Dreamaccount.

...........

Pablouruguay, I don't understand what you ae trying to tell me. Are you saying these are ways to get it to work?  Please clarify your comment and I will try to provide more info.

ok  sorry i clarify my comments.

Its not a programming section. you have a programming section inside EE, in this section the people can help more than us.

The rest of my comments are only information about your problem.

Just another note. This is a server issue I beleve because no script will work and I've tried at least five.

Thanks

ok. now

i ask again.

can you run sendmail with the user apache in the console ?

Is this what you're using? http://www.dreamcost.com/?page=dreamaccount&aid=84

Could you post a link, and maybe some code to go off of...

Pablouruguay,

I apologize, but I don't know what you mean by user apache in the console. How do I do that or check it?

I'm a bit of a beginner wih this.

CoolATIGuy,

Here is a script I'm testing with.

<?php

// Your email address
$email = "me@myemail.net";

// The subject
$subject = "Enter your subject here";

// The message
$message = "Enter your message here";

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: me@mydomain.com");

echo "The email has been sent.";

?>

Thank you both for trying to help.

Try changing "$email" to "$to", and try it again...(see http://us2.php.net/function.mail)

If that doesn't work, can we get the rest of the page code, esp. the part with the "go" button?


CoolATIGuy

I'm calling this up from the browser, there is no form. The form and code I want to use is dreamaccount and iyes, t is the link you posted but I can't get together all the code it uses for an email it has a complete function.php page and a seperate html template. I still believe this is a configuration issue with the server and not a script issue.

So you are saying that you don't have access to modify the code?  Have you tried a different browser?


CoolATIGuy

Yes, I don't believe the license allows me to modify the code but again I think the mail() function in PHP is just not working. I was able to use sendmail from the command line and squiremail works, just not from a PHP script.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you need to get dreamaccount to get their act together... :-)


CoolATIGuy

How about you post an email script that you have tested and know works and I will try it on my server, then we can rule out ,or in the script.

Such as the one I posted before. Have you successfully tested it on your server. Post me the new version if so.

What do you think?

Thanks again.
