Form information not sending to email address

Hello All,

I have a simple form with 5 text fields for users to input information. The form is then sent to blank@example.com.

On my local testing environment, the form works and is sent to the selected email address.

After uploading it to the hosting server, the form does NOT send to the selected email address.

The host supports PHP and has other sites using PHP, so I am wondering why mine does not work?

Any advice would help

Check with the host, as they may not support the mail() function.

I will definitely check with them.

Now if they do not support the mail function, which I am using, how would I go about changing this to make it work?

And do you think my problem has to do with SMTP settings or RDNS of the hosting company?

The mail() function doesn't, to my knowledge, have ability to set those, so if that is the problem you are pretty much hosed.
There are other methods for sending email. A search of this forum and/or google will probably turn them up.
