Can someone please help me out?

Answer 1

the email you're using as FROM must be on the same server as the website, meaning info@elite-marquees.co.uk would work just fine but not info@elitemarquees.com

try adding a fifth parameter to your mail() command:

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,"-f info@elitemarquees.com");

Answer 2

Which error are you getting? And is your php.ini updated for the following lines?

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = Your Email ID

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path =/usr/sbin/sendmail

Answer 3

Php's Mail Function Return Values:

Returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.

It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended destination.

Essentially, you mail function is failing.

First, check if you can send a test mail on the server. If you can't the server settings are not configured to use email.

Try and call a really simple, hard-coded mail().

If it is still failing, then it's 99% your server set up. Check your php.ini settings, and make sure your server can support sending out emails.

Answer 4

Firstly remove the @ before the mail function . After try again if error occur again and again you must check whats the value are comes for you can use for that var_dump(mail(your mail)) or die; function to check the value if it give the null that means something is missing. Then again check var_dump for other values you will soon find the error May be that help you .
