Mail Form

[alexjewell]

I've never had trouble with mailing before, and I'm quite shocked that this wont work. I can't see anything wrong with the script, and no errors are being thrown back. The email just doesn't show up. Let me know if you see something wrong with the code:

<?php 
$to = 'alexjewell@sbcglobal.net';

$fname = $_REQUEST['firstname'] or 'No First Name!';
$lname = $_REQUEST['lastname'] or 'No Last Name!';
    $name = $fname.' '.$lname;

$address = $_REQUEST['address'] or 'No Address Submitted!';
$city = $_REQUEST['city'] or 'No City Submitted!';
$state = $_REQUEST['state'];

if(@$_REQUEST['zip']){
    $zip = $_REQUEST['zip'];
    if(ctype_digit($zip)){
        $zip = $_REQUEST['zip'];}
    else{$zip = 'Zip Submitted Not Valid!';}}
else{
$zip = 'No Zip Submitted!';}

if(@$_REQUEST['email']){
    $email = $_REQUEST['email'];
    if(!preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] +)+$/" , $email)){
        $email = $_REQUEST['email'];}
    else{$email = 'Email Address Submitted Not Valid!';}}
else{
$email = 'No Email Address Submitted!';}

$comments = stripcslashes($_REQUEST['comments']) or 'No Comments Submitted';
$updates = $_REQUEST['updates'] or 'No, Thank You';

$subject = 'Partner Submission.';
$body = '
Name: '.$name.'
Address: '.$address.'
City: '.$city.'
State: '.$state.'
Zip: '.$zip.'
Email: '.$email.'
Comments: '.$comments.'
Updates: '.$updates;

if(mail($to,$subject,$body,$email)){ ?>
    <h1>Thank You For Partnering!</h1>
    <p>Your generous partnership is a blessing and God will bless you for it. Whether it's a commitment to pray or
        give money, your gift is greatly appreciated.</p><br /><br />
        
<?php }

else{ ?>

    <h1>There has been an error</h1>
    <p>For some reason, your submission did not go through. You can try again by visiting the partnership page. If
        it doesn't work again, please let me know by going to the contact page and sending me an email.</p><br /><br />
        
<?php } ?>

Have you had success with other email scripts on this server?

[alexjewell]

Yeah, I have. In fact, there's another mail form that's working at the same time on the server. Ha, makes no sense.

Your generous partnership is a blessing and God will bless you for it.

Presuming to know the minds of deities?

Are you certain you don't have any spam filters that could be deleting it?

[alexjewell]

Haha, it's for a client who's a missionary.

And yes, I'm sure. I keep thinking maybe the emails are just getting delayed and will probably all show up tomorrow or something. Ha.

So basically, there's nothing wrong with the code itself that could be causing this?

[thetestingsite]

From what I can tell, the code looks fine.

[Twey]

Looks OK to me too.

There are lots of passages in the Bible saying how God and his thoughts are far beyond human comprehension

[alexjewell]

Alright, well, I'll contact my host and ask them if they've recently changed something. I just tried my other mail form, and it isn't working either.

[alexjewell]

I talked to some foreign customer service people, who didn't really seem to know what they were talking about. Anyway, what they said was I couldn't use PHP to send mail on windows servers and had to use ASP. What I don't understand is that PHP works for everything else on this server, so why would the mail function be the only thing not working because of the server being windows?

Also, the mail function worked up until recently anyway, but they claim they haven't made any changes. Well, neither have I.

Any ideas?

[thetestingsite]

Simple answer, they (your host) don't know what they are talking about.
