PHP mail code works on other hosts but no x10?

[liammk]

I have made a script to send emails in PHP:

<?php
$to = "XXX@bigpond.com";
$subject = "request";
 $body = $_GET["email"];
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
 echo("<br/><br/>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 } else {
 echo("<br/><br/>Message delivery failed...</p>");
 }
 ?>

But when i load the page it says & i dont recive an email:


Message successfully sent!"); } else { echo("
Message delivery failed...
"); } ?>

where am i going wrong? The script works on other hosts...

the code he gives you the link to will work on X10. Also has other good tuts as well for the form creation. You will need to adjust the script to suit your needs tho for the php.

Why's x10 make it so complex! Why can i just use the good old mail()

Note that the script has an injection vulnerability via the "email" input variable. An attacker can inject arbitrary headers.

The script from the tutorial is simply using mail(). Half of the script displays a result page. There are other difficulties sending e-mail on X10 due to spammers abusing the servers.

I'm not sure about their mail script, but much of W3Schools is outdated or doesn't cover crucial information (such as security). See "PHP tutorial that is security-, accuracy- and maintainability-conscious?" for better suggestions.
