Hello,

What domain are you trying to send messages to?
Also, try $headers .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; instead of the current content type line you have under $headers.

No reason why you can't change it.
Please answer the question. I can't help you unless you co-operate.

 

[listysite76]

i can't change it because email is given by user.it is not a fixed address which i am trying to send email.i added that little script too but still not working

What about changing the line of code I asked you to?
