Re: Mail function

Hi, What i understand is, you have written a new function for sending emails. Are you passing all the variables to that function? If not, you have to pass. or you can use my function <?php // function declaration, This function can send only HTML emails function sendMail ($toEmail, $subject, $message, $fromName, $fromEmail) { $header .= "From: $from_name <$fromEmail>\n"; $header .= "Reply-To: <$fromEmail>\n"; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed\n"; $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n"; $header .= "X-Mailer: php\n\n"; mail($toEmail, $subject, $message, $header); } // variable values and usage

$toEmail    = "shafiq@shafiq.pk";
$subject     = "Hello, This is test";
$message    = "Hellow Shafiq, <br><br> This is test

message<br><br>Regards<br>Shafiq";

$fromName    = "Sender Name";
$fromEmail    = "you@yourdomain.com";

sendMail ($toEmail, $subject, $message, $fromName, $fromEmail); ?> -- Shafiq Rehman (ZCE) http://www.phpgurru.com | http://shafiq.pk On 4/5/07, Zhimmy Kanata <kanata_zhimmagish@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am working on a program to create a registration feature through a > email notificaiton much like this list.
