PHP - Scripts can't email?

[lolwut]

Right well, I've tryed everything to make a mailer script I've made work, but it just wont.
Here's my code:


<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Testinggggg";
$message = "Hey!\nTest mail innit.";
$headers = "From: Tanzim.org <[email protected]>";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

echo("Message headed " . $subject . " was sent to " . $to . ".");
?>
I go to my webmail account thingy ([email protected]) and there's nothing in the inbox.

Is there some setting I need to change in cPanel for mail() to work?

+Reps to any help atall.

Get your host to check if there are any bounces or check spam if you have a spam folder.

Else php.net and search mail(). Good luck.

i think you need to visit the page and run the script..?

make sure your host is set to Linux, my windows host didnt support php but yours may

The hostwill almost def have php Your Host may not have email enabled or the isp might not allow it. Contact your host and ask.

I highly doubt an ISP will stop you sending email.

Um no they wouldn't.... very likely not if he has a Windows Hosting Package. It is actually not that rare to find someone who has Windows Hosting who doesn't even know the difference and Windows was cheaper or something - so if you don't already know then just double check you're using Linux Hosting.

He's quite right, unless the ISP has like blocked your server in your specific datacentre then that's highly unlikely.

Generally speaking the best way to tell is to make a file and then insert the following code and visit it in your browser. Scroll down till you find the bit about PHP sendmail or just mail().



<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
