Question

Below is the code for my booking form email, sent from a Linux server:

$body = "
      <p>Hello sir,</p>
      <p>Name: <b> {$firstname}</b><br />
        Email: <b> {$email}</b><br />
        Phone: <b> {$phone}</b><br />
        Length Of Stay: <b> {$length} </b><br />
        Number in Party: <b> {$party} </b><br />
        Month : <b> {$month} </b><br />
        Day: <b> {$day} </b><br />
        Year: <b> {$year} </b><br />
        Additional information:<b> {$additional_information} </b>

      </p>
      <p>with best regards, <br /><b>My Website</b></p>
    ";


    $to = '[e-mail]';
    $subject = 'Message';

    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: '. $email. "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$email.'' . "\r\n" ;

    if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers))
    {
        phpalert( 'Your request has been sent successfully!' );
    }
    else {
        phpalert( 'Sorry! could not send your request. Please try again later.' );
    }

Does anyone know why my mail is not coming? It shows “Your request has been sent successfully!” But I can’t find any email in inbox or even in spam.

Is there any chances of blocking mails from server?

Answer 1

try sending a simple mail without any meta, headers, mime etc first ! try out the php documentation examples first. I they dont work, you have a server problem (php module deactivated or something like that):
