Here’s my conflict: I’ve setup a form for people to contact me. Now, I ran a test, and the script runs error free, but I do not receive the e-mail. Any ideas? I know it could be the host’s server, or something else, but does anyone else know what it might be? Christopher William Coddington (Xzandar / cwcandromeda) ---

take the quotes off of the “$to” first of all, then your order is wrong in the mail() function. here, check out this thread, it might help: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17313](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17313) read the whole thing, because a few posts down it explains about headers…
