Code: Select all

<?
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 while ($request = current($_REQUEST)) {
    if (key($_REQUEST)!='recipient') {
        $pre_array=split ("&777&",  $request);
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][0]=$pre_array[0];
        $post_vars[key($_REQUEST)][1]=$pre_array[1];
    }
    next($_REQUEST);
}
 
 
 
reset($post_vars);
 
 
$subject="From ".$post_vars['your_name'][0] ;
$headers= "From: ".$post_vars['your_email'][0] ."\n";
 $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1';
 $message='';
  while ($mess = current($post_vars)) {
    if ((key($post_vars)!="i") && (key($post_vars)!="your_email") && (key($post_vars)!="your_name")) {
 
        $message.="<strong>".$mess[1]."</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$mess[0]."<br>";
    }

Probably it' s an different setting in Apache conf file for email protocol port than the one in php.ini. This is the most usual problem. I looked over the code it seems to have no problem but check it again by echoing the different variables you put in the email also use var_dump to see if the array have the correct values.
