Email not sending - PHP and AS.

[Matthew Padgett]

hello.

Does this AS or PHP contain any errors? as I'm not getting the mail. I have taken out my email address, but even when it's in, the mail isn't sent back.

I'm also having a lot of 'invalid file' error messages when trying to upload jpegs... I don't know why.

Here i'll post my AS.

and here I'll add my PHP code.

return $path_info['extension'];
}

I bought this 'uploader' from flashnet and i have already corrected a few errors in the AS but now I'm at a loss as to what could be the problems.

any help would be nice.

could it be this line in PHP? I know nothing !

// send email
$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

seems suspect !?!

[unhitched]

apologies if this is an obvious newb response...

However, I've had issues using the PHP .msi installer (downloaded from the official site) in the past which presents an issue with the php.ini file.

Namely, the php.ini file is not read from any location other than the %SystemDirectory% whenever specified AND when you move the default file installed by the .msi installer to this location, PHP does not run at all.

Thankfully after much frustration this was easy to diagnose by using a php.info which shows that the .ini file read is 'empty'.

In this case I downloaded the PHP zip package and used the PHP.ini (recommended) file in the system directory which read & worked fine.

I've helped a few others with this but not responded to a forum.. so here is one.

If PHP is sending email generally but not in this AS case, then I'm afraid I can be of no more use.

cheers

in the System Directory?

Could somebody download this file and take a look by checking it?

upload.zip (http://pubstitute.free.fr/kirupa/upload.zip)
