Re: mail function fails

hmmm... i just copied your code and changed the email address to mine and it worked. $message was set to 'blah'. this tells me you either have a problem with your email address or $message. why don't you echo $message along with "Email NOT sent!". mail messages are particular about their syntax. mike on 7/2/01 7:00 AM, Shrout, Ryan at Rshrout@krauss-maffeicorp.com wrote: > I am having a problem with the PHP mail() function.
