    Resolved [RESOLVED] Problem in sending emails

    Hello
    I have a website and I have email named "[email protected]".
    I'm trying to send emails from it by PHP page.

    I was using this code:
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1256\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: My Name <[email protected]>\r\n";
    $to = The email which I wanna send to... (Hotmail email).
    $message = "<html><body><p align=center>Hello</p></body></html>";
    mail ($to,"Subject",$message,$headers);

    Since days, it was working but now it can't send emails.
    Emails never come to receivers.

    What's problem, please?
    I need help.

    Thanks & Regards

    Does it work if you try sending it to another email address?

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    At the top of the script, put the following line. See if you get any errors:
    PHP Code:
    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    Well that rules out a problem with PHP. Is this a Windows or UNIX system? If it is Windows, what SMTP server are you using?

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    have you changed the PHP.ini (ini_set()) file value for the smtp server to use mail.onh1986.com?

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    The php.ini file ought to be in your PHP installation location. You can just edit it with a text editor. Search for the phrase "smtp" and follow the instructions in the comments.

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    Check out these links for info about php.ini. The file is normally in the same folder as the PHP binary file or for windows in the Windows or Winnt folder.

    Re: Problem in sending emails

    Just use ini_set(). You can find thel ocation of php.ini by calling phpinfo() function.
