The script itself seems to be fine... at least, I'm not seeing any significant coding issues. As a start, perhaps try creating a new file with these contents (replace the email address), and uploading it to your server:

 

mailtest.php:

 

Open that up in your browser, and see if you still get the error. I'm just trying to check that the mail() function works correctly before debugging the script further.

My host did that already and it worked fine - I wondered if it was an issue with the hosts server, but they seem to think the issue must come my side!

Ok I found a script on the net that should send data from any form without knowing much about it, kind of a generic handler. I copied and uploaded, set the form action to follow it, and tested it.

 

It returned a failed to send message. (the message is coded in the PHP for failure to send the message).

 

So to it looks more likely an external problem????? The script I tried is:

 

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){

// In testing, if you get an Bad referer error

// comment out or remove the next three lines

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])>7 ||

!strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))

die("Bad referer");

$msg="Values submitted by the user:\n";

foreach($_POST as $key => $val){

if (is_array($val)){

$msg.="Item: $key\n";

foreach($val as $v){

$v = stripslashes($v);

$msg.=" $v\n";

}

} else {

$val = stripslashes($val);

$msg.="$key: $val\n";

}

}

$recipient="enquiries@kyu-images.com";

$subject="General Web Enquiry";

error_reporting(0);

if (mail($recipient, $subject, $msg)){

echo "

Thank you

Message successfully sent:

\n";

echo nl2br($input);

} else

echo "An error occurred and the message could not be sent.";

} else

echo "Bad request method";

?>
