Trying to get php email working having problems. Can anyone see any problems with code. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

//begin creation of the email  
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0  
";  
$headers .= “Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1  
“;  
$headers .= “From: [example@example.com](mailto:example@example.com)”;  
$message1 = “\<html\>\<body\>  
$messagecontent  
\</html\>\</body\>”;  
// mail(”$\_SESSION[e\_mail], [test@example.com](mailto:test@example.com)”, “Thank you for Signing-Up with Example”, $message1, $headers);

// mail("$\_SESSION[e\_mail]", “Thank you for Signing-up with Example”, “$message1”, "From: [signup@example.com Return-Path](mailto:signup@example.com%0AReturn-Path): [d@example.com BCC](mailto:d@example.com%0ABCC): [example@example.com](mailto:example@example.com)");

mail("$e\_mail, [signup@example.com](mailto:signup@example.com)", “Thank you for Signing-Up with Example”, $message1, $headers);

header(‘Location: signup4.php’);

Well, you’ve commented out the mail function…

What happens when you send the mail? Any errors, warnings or notices?

You can always try:

```php
if(mail("$e_mail, signup@example.com", "Thank you for Signing-Up with Example", $message1, $headers)){
  echo "Mail sent";
}else{
  echo "Mail not sent";
}

```

That will at least tell you if the mail is being accepted for delivery.
