Any IT freaks out there?

[Bruce]

I am shooting off an email using HTTP submit from a cd to a PHP script on my server. Script as follows:

<?php
$to="[email protected]";
if (isset($_REQUEST['message']))
{
//$message = wordwrap($_REQUEST['message'], 70, "<br>\n", TRUE);
$message =$_REQUEST['message'];
if (isset($_REQUEST['subject']))
{
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
mail ("$to","$subject","$message","From: Web Rate");
echo "success";
}
else
echo "no subject";
}
else
{
echo "no message";
}
exit;
?>

I am not getting any emails back. Using the error window everything was a success, I even sent to other emails from another server. Any ideas?
I'm using 7.1.1007

if it works from 1 server but not another then you can almost bet that the server has sendmail disabled, this is a common problem with free host servers but if its a fully paid up domain then check the mail settings in your hostpanel, if it is enabled and it still dont work ..... then this is where i would call our IT department and pass the buck!

Could this be within my system?

Bruce, wouldn't the SMTP plugin be a solution for you?

It sends mail, and attachments can be added aswell.

if your firewall is premitting the connection and still no email then i dont think your system is to blame, although i could be wrong

check all your securty settings, disable firewalls and try and send the email

You hit that one on the nose! They had me on a Windows system, I had'em
move me to a Linksys system with the send mail enabled.
oh and by the way Imagine Programming, your suggestion on using the SMTP plug-in was a good idea, thx

hehe, now we just need a POP3 plugin and we're writing our own mail clients ^^

the Socket plugin enables SMTP and POP3 :yes

when i first started out in this game i had that problem haunting me for weeks, i was thinking "what am i doing wrong" and it was the server all along...
