mailing problem

[@script]

Hi everybody,

I have wrote a php script to send a mail. It works fine with the mail id's of google,yahoo,rediff,... but it is not working for mail id of my company. Code reads as follows:
<?php
$to = 'maheshkumar.davuluri@bipsum.com';
$subject = $_POST['txtSub'];
$name = $_POST['txtName'];
$com = $_POST['txtCom'];
$email= $_POST['txtEmail'];
$city = $_POST['txtCity'];
$con = $_POST['txtContry'];
$ph1 = $_POST['txtPh1'];
$ph2 = $_POST['txtPh2'];
$comm = $_POST['txtAr'];
$message = "---------------------------\n".
"----Sender's detail's------\n".
"Name of the Sender : $name\n".
"Company Name : $com\n".
"Email Id is : $email\n".
"City : $city\n".
"Country : $con\n".
"Contact number : code-$ph1 , number-$ph2\n".
"-----Comment's------------\n".
"$comm\n".
"--------------------------\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
header("Location:http://www.bipsum.com/thankyou.html");
exit;?>

i'm wondering for so many days why it is not working. Any help is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

You don't define '$headers' in the code snippet you posted. Your company's e-mail server might not accept mail unless the 'From' field (which is defined in '$headers') is filled out.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried with the following code with the corrections that you have suggested:

<?php
$to = 'maheshkumar.davuluri@bipsum.com';
$subject = $_POST['txtSub'];
$name = $_POST['txtName'];
$com = $_POST['txtCom'];
$email= $_POST['txtEmail'];
$city = $_POST['txtCity'];
$con = $_POST['txtContry'];
$ph1 = $_POST['txtPh1'];
$ph2 = $_POST['txtPh2'];
$comm = $_POST['txtAr'];
$headers = "From: maheshkumar.davuluri@gmail.com\r\n";
$message = "---------------------------\n".
"----Sender's detail's------\n".
"Name of the Sender : $name\n".
"Company Name : $com\n".
"Email Id is : $email\n".
"City : $city\n".
"Country : $con\n".
"Contact number : code-$ph1 , number-$ph2\n".
"-----Comment's------------\n".
"$comm\n".
"--------------------------\n";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
header("Location:http://www.bipsum.com/thankyou.html");
exit;?>

now mail delivery is fine but it is not appearing in the inbox at the destination. Please help me in this regard

thanks

How do you know that delivery works if it's not showing up in your inbox?
Are you sure you're sending it to the correct address?

P.S. - Please keep the conversation in the forums.

thak you url that i have place in the header location is loading successfully, and also i have checked it by assigning a variable. like checking weather it returns true or false. coz mail() returns a boolean value. If there is any alternative please suggest me if not this porgraming.

thanks

are you saying it's not able to send email to your company, but it is working for other email addresses? if so, it's probably triggering a spam filter on your company's mail server.

[@script]

actually the problem is that it is neither going in to inbox nor appearing in the spam of my company email-id. please any one specify me another programing alternative in php if it is not the right one.

[sde]

ok, have you verified your php.ini file is pointing to the proper mail executable or mail server? the area in the file looks like this, but you would need to un-comment one of the lines and set the value depending on your os and mail method

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP =

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = "sendmail -t -i"

hi sde and every body,

i have to upload the code to 'ftp' from there i need to monitor the transaction of the mail. Therefore i think there is no need to worry about the php.ini file. If any body want to check php of my company server go to this link: phpinfo()

thanks

[sde]

try to simplify your script. here's a sample taken from php.net. if this doesn't work for you, i don't know how to help.

PHP Code:

<?php
mail('caffinated@example.com', 'My Subject', $message);

PHP: mail - Manual
