Simplistic suggestions first: have you tried looking for the email in your Junk folder? Have you tried sending to a different email?

One problem I've had with PHP mail() is that the SMTP server I was using required authentication, which is not inherently supported by mail(). So, I used the PHPMailer class (http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/) to get it working. Don't know if that's your problem though - check with your host.

this edited code worked for me..?

$to="istiaquechoudhury@hotmail.co.uk";
$subject="";
$message="hi";
$headers="Shanti Nai";

$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Sent successfully"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending"; }


I found this site good...
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/func_mail_mail.asp
It even gives you (limited) info on how to lay out you email /n

If anyone knows how to do a 'send page to friend' script i could do with some help.
I have a php generated page and I'm looking to email it to other people.

thanks
