ok ive done this before but i dont know why its not working now, i think maybe im a little to confident that it should work and im missing a small error that i should normally see or maybe im just doing something completly wrong. but please take a look at my code and see if u can help me out, thank in advance.

Code: Select all

<?php
$Name = $_POST['Name'];
$Contact_email = $_POST['Contact_email'];
$Age = $_POST['Age'];
$Time_played = $_POST['Time_played'];
$Why_join = $_POST['Why_join'];
$Other_games = $_POST['Other_Games'];
 
 
$formsent = mail('myemail@verizon.net',
'RGC Website Application',
"Request From: 
Name: $Name\r\n
Contact_email: $Contact_email\r\n
Age: $Age\r\n
Time_played: $Time_played\r\n
Why_join: $Why_join\r\n
Other_Games: $Other_Games",
 
"From: $Contact_email\r\n Bounce-to: myemail@verizon.net");
   if ($formsent) {
  echo "<P>Hi, $Name, we have received your request, we will respond to you as soon as possible.
Thank You,
Renegade Gameing Community";
} else {
   echo "I'm sorry $Name, but there seems to be a problem, please try to resubmitt the form.";

More than likely incorrect usage of the mail function. Please reference http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php for appropriate usage.
