I have a php script on my webpage that emails me the contents of a form when it’s submitted. It was working before and now since the free hosting box was changed its not. I looked it up a bit and I read somewhere that I needed to check the php install and make sure it was configured to send mail. Is this something I can do from the cPanel or does it need to be done a different way?

Thanks,
Aaron

Still having issue with the php mail. Below is a simple script for what im trying to do. It was working before but its no longer working. Im not reciving any emails. I've checked junk mail ect ect..

<?php
/*
This first bit sets the email address that you want the form to be submitted to.
You will need to change this value to a valid email address that you can access.
*/
$webmaster_email = "myemail@msn.com";

/*
This bit sets the URLs of the supporting pages.
If you change the names of any of the pages, you will need to change the values here.
*/
$feedback_page = "feedback_form.html";
$error_page = "error_message.html";
$thankyou_page = "thank_you.html";

/*
This next bit loads the form field data into variables.
If you add a form field, you will need to add it here.
*/
$email_address = $_REQUEST['email_address'] ;
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'] ;

/*
The following function checks for email injection.
Specifically, it checks for carriage returns - typically used by spammers to inject a CC list.
*/
function isInjected($str) {
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str)) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}

// If the user tries to access this script directly, redirect them to the feedback form,
if (!isset($_REQUEST['email_address'])) {
header( "Location: $feedback_page" );
}

// If the form fields are empty, redirect to the error page.
elseif (empty($email_address) || empty($comments)) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}

// If email injection is detected, redirect to the error page.
elseif ( isInjected($email_address) ) {
header( "Location: $error_page" );
}

// If we passed all previous tests, send the email then redirect to the thank you page.
else {
mail( "$webmaster_email", "Feedback Form Results",
$comments, "From: $email_address" );
header( "Location: $thankyou_page" );
}
?>

cPanel --> webmail --> SquirrelMail
See if msn is returning the emails.
Hotmail and Yahoo have blacklisted x10hosting's mailserver and will not accept messages.
