Thread: Not receiving emails

Hi Guys,

client id 19735
I am having problems with my form. When someone enters details on the form and hits the submit button, they get the thank you page but I do not receive an email. I have tried several different email addresses but none of them work.
I have added the php code, which I copied from the tutorial, for you to look at

<?PHP
$mailto = "nimrod945******.com.au.";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "information form submission";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>

Any help greatly appreciated

It would be most helpful if you posted your site so we can check the form make-up also..........but, there is one problem that I noticed in your php code and it is in this line;
$mailto = "nimrod945 ******.com.au.";


There should not be a period after the .au

Correct that and see if it works.

It works great now. Thanks for your help.

Glad to help.

Hi Andy, I'm having the same problem as nimrod with www,eyeonyouinvestigations.net. I've posted my php code maybe you can spot something simple I've over looked. My eyes are getting really tired from looking. Thanks, Brad
<?PHP
$mailto = "bdmorrow141@msn.com";
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if ($email == "") {
$email = $mailto;
}
$mailsubj = "Contact Form Submission";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);?>

Brad-

The php code looks correct as far as I can see. Where on your site is the form? I would like to see it to see if the problem is in the form.

Andy

Thanks Andy, The form is on the contact us page. Brad

Brad-
I assume that the above php script is placed in the page properties>page html and placed "Inside Body" tab of the action.php page.

If that is correct- then the page should be sending you e-mails. However, it could be that msn is blocking it or it is showing up in your junk mail. Check to make sure not going into junk/spam.

To test- create a mail account in your VH server account via Cpanel. Then modify the php script to reflect the newly created e-mail address.
Save and publish and then test. If you receive the email then it is possible that msn is blocking you. If you don't- then post back.
