zacron posted : I don't think it's the email, I posted the apache error log, it's telling me there's an "Unexpected T_VARIABLE on Line 86" which is the line where the email address is.

I did fix the syntax,

it was a missing semi colon after the "mysql(close);" statement and then the variables were using the wrong marks (") instead of (').

I just got the email from the script. :)

Thank you for your assistance guys :)

yes, I have three others that are working, there is an rdns entry and it's smtp auth however, disabled for testing purposes.

Is it sending to and from the same gmail account(s)?

JAAulde posted : Edit: This post was made as you were making your last one. My comments probably do not apply given the new info.

In addition, most major hosting companies lock down their systems such that mail leaving the mailer daemons on their machines must be bound for an address on their network. In most cases these days you must set up an email account from which you want mail to be sent, and you need some sort of SMTP mailer code which can reach out to that account's SMTP servers, authenticate, and send the message.

cdru posted : Have other scripts been able to mail from this server? Does the server have a rDNS entry? Based on your redacted log, you're sending email address is a gmail account and you're sending to an account (possibly the same account). However, I'm going to guess that you're server isn't an authoritative mail server for gmail.

Google doesn't tell you (or at least use to not tell you) when it drops your message. It happily accepts your message and just routes it to /dev/null.

zacron posted : Hello, I am attempting to use PHP to send some data via email after it posts to a db. Is there any reason why the code below isn't sending them email?

Thank you for being my 2nd set of eyes. :) I am killing myself trying to figure this one out.

I think it's to do with the "$message" variable. (2nd post line 64)
