hiprakhar Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Try this: $to = "something@something.com"; $subject = "Your subject line"; $message = "<html> <head> <title>Email Confirmation</title> </head> <body> your message which may be HTML. Remember to use single quotes '' in your HTML text otherwise they will conflict with outer double quotes. Or escape quotes. </body>"; // Always set content-type when sending HTML email $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; // More headers $headers .= 'From: "your email address" <sendersemail@something.com>' . "\r\n"; //$headers .= 'Cc: ' . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); Do not use session values directly in mail function. Sanitise the values before using them. If in doubt use echo to figure out what values are actually going inside the mail function. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If the To: and From: email address are at gmail, like you show in your post, are you sending this email using a gmail mail server? If not, gmail will discard your email because it knows that the actual sending mail server is not a gmail mail server. You must put an email address that at least has a domain that corresponds to your sending mail server into the From: address header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so thats the problem as I myself use gmail address in From: and mails are sent without fail. @andrej13 if this is not working then maybe something is wrong with your hosting server which you are using to send mails, as this is a working code and I am using it to send mails myself. Ensure that mail() is enabled by your server. use phpinfo() to find that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
