PHP mail issue

[adamfek]

Hi,

I recently solved a problem in PHP which allowed mail to be sent to 15 band members, i left it alone for a few days and made no changes, it was working prefectly, now when i create a gig the emails are not sent. Is there some limit on the amount to which x10 allows you send mails in a month. Im just very confused as to why its stopped working all of a sudden. the only thing i can think of is a server issue outside of my control?

Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Check in your phpbb folders for a file called error_log and also check inside cPanel and see if there is any report about mail sending (mail, sendmail, smtp).

done in the error_log file is this the last error:

[12-Oct-2009 21:22:20] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC made by include, eval, include, include, get_sidebar, locate_template, load_template, require_once, wp_get_archives

thats 12 oct and i was sending this mail today 17 oct
so no error
in cpanel also no errors
Edit:

It seems like there isn't anyone around here that can identify your problem. You can try creating a thread in the Programming section, so people with more knowledge about the mail() function can help you out with your error. Remember to copy and paste the error you received in your error log into the new thread as well.

Hmmm, thankyou all for trying to help, i will try the programming thread, i have tried looking for phpbb folders but dont know how to find them, hope im not missing something really obvious. Im fairly new to x10 so im still getting to know my way around the site.

Thanks again.
Edit:
Well it seems as tho I've resolved it, although no light can be shed as to why it stopped working, perhaps to guys have the same issue, im now using my x10 email account as the sender when sending the emails using php mail function, gmail one stopped working for some reason. hope this helps others having same problem. does anyone know why it would stop for gmail?

thanks
