Why won't this send?

[richjb]

The following code won't send me an email...anyone know why?

 $header = "From: $email\nReply-To: $email\nX-Mailer: Purchasing System by Richard Brevig\n";
 $header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\""; 
 $subject = "New Purchase In Que";
 $body = "There is a new order in place to be processed.  There may be more by now, however, you will not receive another email notification until you log back into the Admin section.";
 mail($email,$subject,$body,$header);

$email is defined.

Thanks.

Richard

You are trying to send an HTML e-mail?

It doesn't matter to me...I only put it there that way if I ever did, I wouldn't have to go searching for how to.

I've tried removing it, and a bunch of other stuff, but it just won't actually send me an email.

Is this your own server if so is the path to sendmail set up properly in the php.ini file? try doing phpinfo(); and look for the sendmail setting. Also just for testing take the headers out and just send like

$subject = "New Purchase In Que";
$body = "There is a new order in place to be processed. There may be more by now, however, you will not receive another email notification until you log back into the Admin section.";
mail($email,$subject,$body);

Thank you for your help. I think, as you probably do, that the error is on the servers side. I contacted them a day ago, but have had no response. I will give the host a few more days...hopefully we can get it fixed.
