Sendmail with 4.3.10 works! 5.2.4 doesnt work :(

Hi, I have recently written a request form. This is my first experience of PHP so not very knowledgable.

I have managed to get the php working with both versions with no errors. (Please let me know if the error reporting code is correct)

The code returns no errors now but the email fails to send with the older version of PHP. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thank you

Hi,
delete the @ in front of mail, so you can see the errors.

If the mail() function is executed, the problem that the mail isn't send is not a php specific problem.
PHP uses an smtp server, e.g. sendmail, for sending e-mails. So you need a smtp server and have to configure php right for sending e-mails.

So if the mail() function is executed, ask your server admin why no mails are sent.

Right, this is the reply that I got from the hosts. Can I change my code to remedy the problem or is it rubbish? Cheers
The smtp server to use is smtp.danahermail.com. We are not allowed to send out email on our own. It must go to smtp.danahermail.com then it will go out from there.
