"PHP mail... how to?"

Hi everybody,

First at all I beg your pardon if my question has been asked many times before. I looked to different thread but I was not able to get a proper answer.

This is the case: My website hosted in Freeola, has a php script that supposes to send an email (to [email protected]) after certain event happens (when a user click on a button). I do not need an email form for it, just the php mail() function sends a email.

For this I have been using different configuration for the PHP mail() function, not of then works (I do not get any email to [email protected], yes I have checked the span bin and nothing).

My last attend was to user [email protected] to get the emails and from then forwarding them to my_email@gmail... No success.

Basically this the configuration I have been using so far:

$ToAddress = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "something happens" ;

$sMessage = "Something has happened at freeola";

if(!mail($ToAddress, $Subject, $sMessage))
{
die("Problems sending the email");
}

I really appreciate any advice.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I'm not a php expert (or proper user) but a couple of regulars here are so you should get a real answer later.

I don't believe you can mail directly to a non-Freeola address though so I would keep testing using a Freeola account and then put forwarding in place once you have things working.

In case this helps you, here's an old Freeola support members GitHub mail tests from an old forum post.
