Question

I have a problem with my PHP Mail. It stops working from time to time without me even touching the code. I have a script which checks if required forms are empty. This script works. But if I fill in all the required fields I should get a text which says "Your mail was successfully sent" but I don’t. But if I edit my code by just moving a bit of text some lines down and back to the original position again it works, for a while. It’s often under the night it stops working. Can it be the server that is causing trouble or is it my code that I posted below?

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$namn = strip_tags($_POST['namn']);
$foretag = strip_tags($_POST['foretag']);
$adress = strip_tags($_POST['adress']);
$postnr = strip_tags($_POST['postnr']);
$ort = strip_tags($_POST['ort']);
$telefon = strip_tags($_POST['telefon']);
$epost = strip_tags($_POST['epost']);
$meddelande = strip_tags($_POST['meddelande']);

function check_required_fields($required_array){
    $field_errors = array();
    foreach($required_array as $fieldname){
        if ((!isset($_POST[$fieldname])) || (empty($_POST[$fieldname]))){ 
            if($_POST[$fieldname] != '0'){
                $field_errors[] = $fieldname; 
            }
        }
    }
    return $field_errors;
}

$errors = array();
$required_fields = array('namn', 'telefon', 'meddelande');
$errors = array_merge($errors, check_required_fields($required_fields));

if(empty($errors)){

$meddelande=nl2br($meddelande);

if(empty($foretag)){ $foretag='-'; }
if(empty($adress)){ $adress='-'; }
if(empty($postnr)){ $postnr='-'; }
if(empty($ort)){ $ort='-'; }
if(empty($epost)){ $epost='-'; }

$body = 
"
Namn: <b>". $namn ."</b><br />
Företag: <b>". $foretag ."</b><br />
Adress: <b>". $adress ."</b><br />
Postnr: <b>". $postnr ."</b><br />
Ort: <b>". $ort ."</b><br />
Telefon: <b>". $telefon ."</b><br />
E-post: <b>". $epost ."</b><br /><br />
Meddelande: <b><br />". $meddelande
;

$headers = "From: $namn <[e-mail]>\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion();

$success = mail('[e-mail]', 'Meddelande', $body, $headers);

}

}

?>
