I’ve taken a look at the file you’re using and it looks fine to me. The only issue I can think of is that you’re on a Windows server using IIS as opposed to Apache, and possibly your mail() function doesn’t work. You may need to use SMTP instead.

You can check this by creating a quick PHP file and adding the following line of code

<php mail("toyou@gmail.com", "Just a quick test", "Just testing the mail function", "From: you@rjdesignz.com"); ?>

Put that in a file and upload it, and run it. Nothing will happen in the browser but check if the email arrives (obviously change the two email addresses).

If that doesn’t work then the only other possible issue is that your server requires the from address to be a registered pop account on the server, to protect from spamming. So make sure that’s the case and see if that works.

If it still doesn’t then you may need to contact your host and ask them if the mail() function should work. If it doesn’t then I recommend trying out the CForms II WordPress plugin which will give you a lot more choice and hopefully you’ll get that working on your site.

mail($formstuff['cfemail'], $subject_2, $message_2, “From: Your Website “);

worked a treat.

Dave, the line

mail($formstuff['cfemail'], $subject_2, $message_2, $headers);

Should work fine. Although because your headers also contain this email address what you may find is that your server may allow the email to come to you from that address, as your email is registered on the server, however either the server won’t allow a script to send an email off the server to an unrecognised address, or it won’t allow an unrecognised address to send an email to an unrecognised address.

So I would try a second address registered on the server first, see if that works. Then try for the second line to just simply be

mail($formstuff['cfemail'], $subject_2, $message_2, "From: Your Website ");

Changing the last parameter to be your site address and a from address associated with your domain. Then try that with an off server address eg. GMail address, and see how that goes.

Otherwise you may be simply restricted to not being able to have forms send emails to off server accounts – this is something you can clarify with your host.

I also want to send the form submitter an email upon submission, any idea how I do this?
I have tried adding:
mail($cfemail, $subject_2, $message_2, $headers);
and
mail($formstuff['cfemail'], $subject_2, $message_2, $headers);
under the original:
mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

But it doesn’t seem to work, any ideas?
Thanks, again, dave.
