Hya!

OK, I have a headache now from being unable to fix a simple problem. I was building a Contact page where users fill out a simple form which is sent via PHP. It WAS working. I sent the messages 3 or 4 times before they suddenly ceased to arrive in my inbox. I have scoured the script to find anything I may have erased by mistake but can find Nothing wrong with it. Here is the code...

PHP Code:

<?php

$Name = "Challenge Poll Result";
$email = "noreply@lts-polling-page.com";
$recipient = "omanoct@mail.com";

$mail_body = "Message received from LT's Stock Challenges Polling Page.\r\n\r\n----------\r\n\r\n From: " . $_POST['deviant_name'] . "\r\n\r\n Did you enjoy this Challenge: " . $_POST['RESULT_RadioButton-3'] . "\r\n\r\n Comments...\r\n" . $_POST['RESULT_TextArea-8'] . "\r\n\r\n Vote: " . $_POST['RESULT_RadioButton-5-0'];

$subject = 'Homepage Contact Message';
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n";

mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);

?>

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance

That looks right, the only thing I would include is applying wordwrap to $mail_body like this.

PHP Code:

$mail_body = wordwrap($mail_body, 70); 


But otherwise it looks like I do it, and I have not experienced any problems yet. I say yet because it seems that quite a few folks are having issues with PHP's mail function as of late. I saw in one thread that a response from the help desk mentioned that with the volume of email coming out of the free servers, some email services seem to block them as though they (the servers) are spam bots or something.

I've never used that syntax before, so can I assume it makes long lines of text wrap?

Hmm...yes I've had that issue with one of my other sites... I think its mostly during the texting phase - I sent out a number of text emails to the same address to make sure the script was working properly (or rather, to get it working...), and the server began blocking the script. Re had to use a redirect to get it working again. Frustrating, but in a way, very understandable

Thanks
