i set up a form for visitor feedback on this site i just did. it has 4 questions and 4 text areas. it sends the answers to the processing script via POST. the script is below:

<?php
$msg= "Question 1: $HTTP_POST_VARS[q1]\n";
$msg.= "Question 2: $HTTP_POST_VARS[q2]\n";
$msg.= "Question 3: $HTTP_POST_VARS[q3]\n";
$msg.= "Question 4: $HTTP_POST_VARS[q4]";
$sendto= "*********";
$subject= "Feedback from Grove Theater Website";
mail( $sendto, $subject, $msg );
header("Location:success.html");
?>

this is the exact same script i have used on other websites and it has worked just fine. i first tried it with the email address i got with the domain and then i tried it with my personal account. neither of them received an email from the site. godaddy.com is hosting it. i have emailed their tech support to see if they have an answer. does anyone have an idea of whats wrong. the only thing i know that could be wrong is if the php.ini doesn't have a mail server assigned to it. thanks in advance

i got an email from godaddy.com tech support. they said they have the mail function disabled. just a heads up

Weird, so I guess there's not much you can do. Except maybe store it in a database. Get a new host would be my suggestion.

Also why do you user the header function? Just put the succes.html code below that. Just curious.

i learned to use the header that way from Sam's PHP/MySQL/Apache book.
they said i could use a php file they had. here's the code for it. i'm not sure how to go about using it for the same purpose

<?php
$request_method = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
if($request_method == "GET"){
$query_vars = $_GET;
} elseif ($request_method == "POST"){
$query_vars = $_POST;
}
reset($query_vars);
$t = date("U");
$fp = fopen("../data/gdform_$t","w");
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($query_vars)) {
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key START>\n");
fputs($fp,"$val\n");
fputs($fp,"<GDFORM_VARIABLE NAME=$key END>\n");
if ($key == "redirect") { $landing_page = $val;}
}
fclose($fp);
if ($landing_page != ""){
header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/$landing_page");
} else {
header("Location: http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/");
}


?>

i emailed the tech support back to see if they had documentation but i haven't heard from them yet.
