"Help (PHP)"

On my new site, I've decided to have a feedback option where users can send me suggestions on how I could improve my site or give me ideas on new wallpaper themes. Thing is, I'm new to PHP and have made my own mail script. I just uploaded it to find it doesn't work.

Here is the script :-

function sendmail()
{
global $mail_to, $mail_from_name, $mail_from_email; $mail_body;

$mail_parts["mail_to"] = $mail_to;
$mail_parts["mail_from_name"] = $mail_from_name;
$mail_parts["mail_from_email"] = $mail_from_email;
$mail_parts["mail_body"] = $mail_body;

$mail_to = [email protected]

if(my_mail($mail_parts))
user_message("Successfully sent an e-mail title '$mail_subject'.");

else error_message("An unknown error occurred while attempting to send an e-mail title '$mail_subject'.");
}
function my_mail($mail_parts)
{
$mail_from = $mail_parts["mail_from_name"];
$mail_body = $mail_parts["mail_body"];

if(empty($mail_to)) error_message("Empty to field!");
if(empty($mail_body)) error_message("No message!");

$mail_to = str_replace("; ", ",", $mail_to);

$mail_headers = '';

$mail_subject = stripsplashes($mail_subject);
$mail_body = stripslashes($mail_body);

return mail ($mail_body);
}
?>

Any suggestions would be helpful, cheers.

By the way, I know the site looks complete crap on Netscape, I'm in the middle of sorting that :).

So what do I replace the

$mail_parts["mail_to"] = $mail_to;
$mail_parts["mail_from_name"] = $mail_from_name;
$mail_parts["mail_from_email"] = $mail_from_email;
$mail_parts["mail_body"] = $mail_body;

with

mail($mail_to, "Feed Back Form Results", "
FROM: $mail_from_name ($mail_from_email)
$mail_body"
", "FROM:$mail_from_email");

or do I need to put his above/below the mail parts?

This is all a little bit confusing for me.

Well, you have not put in the actual mail(); function, which is what will send you the data.

$mail_to = [email protected]

mail($mail_to, "Feed Back Form Results", "
FROM: $mail_from_name ($mail_from_email)
$mail_body"
", "FROM:$mail_from_email");

Is the simplest way, though the validation isn't included in that.

OK, thanks a lot.

Check out the free mySQL host thread I made, I know you were looking for one :).

Firstly, put $mail_to = [email protected] above the $mail_part bits

.. I'm looking it it now though, and I'll let you know about the rest.
