Is the send mail function available? and how's the SMTP comfigured "w/out autho"?
Has the package Mail.php been installed and what's the path?
Thanks in advance for your help |

smtp functions are not available on your funpic server. you can use php mail() without smtp. Mail.php seems to be a PEAR package. PEAR is not installed, so you have to download the package and upload it to a directory on your webspace.
ps: i´ve found a bug in your html form.
<form mothod="post" action ="/php/my_webform.php">
should be
<form method="post" action="/php/my_webform.php">
now the default method GET will be used. submit your form and take a look at the url in your browser. you can see all parameters were added to the address. GET requests are limited to 255 characters. a POST request will be invisible for the user and you can send 3mb of data. that is much more than 255 characters.

I am using mothod "POST", yet the parameters still apppear in the browser's address bar.
Any ideas??
The php application's still not working... mail() does not seem to be working and I can't upload Mail.php because it requires SMTP function and PEAR. |

1. there is no attribute mothod!!! did you read my post? you have to rename it into method.
2. the mail function needs at least 3 parameters!
usage:
| Code: | | mail("receiver@example.com","your subject","your message"); |
you can add a string as the 4th parameter that contains the mail header.
for example:
| Code: | $headers = "From: Sender Name <sender@example.com>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: Sender Name <sender@example.com>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: Sender Name <sender@example.com>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP ".phpversion()."\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: Sender Name <sender@example.com>\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
mail("receiver@example.com","your subject","your message",$headers); |
you should use the second code in order to send your own sender address and name. otherwise the sender address will be something like anything@funpic.org so if the receiver wants to send a reply, the mail will get lost somewhere.
you can also change the Content-Type to text/html if you want to use html code within the message.
