Mail Not Sent
Using php mail. Php program in code (in debug mode).
When I run it I get this (see echos): (I understand the last warning)
Mail returns 1, NOTHING is received.
What's wrong?
to = ####REMOVED####@gmail.com,
mres return = 1

Ray,
I forgot I had the old mysql stuff. I fixed that.
I understand the reason for Warning: Cannot modify header information...
I already echoed, so i KNOW that won't work.
No way I have the time to screw with Constant Contact.
Can someone else please chip in?
Thanks

As Ray has mentioned, the lack of accountability with PHP mail makes it nearly impossible to troubleshoot something as complicated as this. I've banged my head against the wall in similar situations. The only solution is to begin with a very simple email with static parameters and build up from there.
I see a logic problem in that you have to points at which you issue a $mail->Send()
Line 64 and 139
Both are inside a conditional
So is it possible that in your test $attach is empty?

PHP mail() and email in general has no accountability, and mail messages with even a hint of automation or error, as evinced in their headers or structure, are likely to be discarded. About a decade ago you could expect the messages to be bounced, with some kind of automated rejection notice to the Reply-to address, but this is not done much any more because malformed email is almost universally recognized to be spam. And once a mail source has been identified as a spammer, it's very unlikely that any more mail messages will be accepted from the same source, no matter how well-formed the new messages might be.
Suggest you discard this code and convert the entire application over to use Constant Contact. it will take some time and money, but not very much of either. And the end results will be much, much better than trying to do this yourself.
