[thelist] PHP Mail() function

[Santilal Parbhu]

Hi

Hey thanks for the help.  However, I have found that I am barking up the
wrong tree.  I inserted a test script and found that it worked.  So then I
disabled everything in my script that accesses the database and essentially
just left the mail() part.  This also worked.  So there must be something in
the data that I select that is stopping the email going out.  Perhaps a
control character or similar.  Is this possible.  Is there a way that I
should be sanitising the data that comes from the mysql.

Thanks.

Santilal

Hourly limits are commonly 100 - 500 messages per hour if imposed. Ask your
hosting provider to check their fine print. if you have access check for php
logged errors in a file called error_log, typically in webhome but maybe in
the folder where your scripts live.  Maybe also check in
/home/$account/mail/new for email logged messages. Make up a simple mail
test in PHP, also try UNIX mail command if you have shell access.

mail your_email at your_domain -s "test" < some_test_file
