emailing a .csv

[studentofstone]

I am trying to set up a script that will capture a form's data, create a .csv and email it. The code I have returns no errors but will not send the email. Any help please.

<?php


$cr = "\n";
$csvdata = "First Name" . ',' . "Last Name" . ',' . "Email" . ',' . "Telephone" . ',' ."Comments" . $cr;
$csvdata .= $first_name . ',' . $Last_Name . ','. $email . ',' . $telephone .',' . $comments  . $cr;

$thisfile = 'member.csv';

$encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($csvdata));


// create the email and send it off

$subject = "new member";
$from = "michael@davisgutierrez.com";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
    boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0011_1234ABCD.4321FDAC"' . "\n";

$message = '

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_001_0011_1234ABCD.4321FDAC
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="us-ascii"

// now send the email
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f$from");
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

?>

I cant see where you have set the value for $email

 

not sure if it makes any difference but I have always sent mail like this

 

mail("$email", "$subject", "$message", "$headers", "From: $from");

[dragon_sa]

also notice haven't defined $mail_sent

 

$mail_sent = @mail("$email", "$subject", "$message", "$headers", "From: $from");

echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
