email problem again

Right i got the basic mail() function to work but i need a if statement. So i did the following code.

<?php
$Firdge = $_POST['ChkFridge'];
$Pool = $_POST['ChkPool'];

if (mail('EMAIL ADDRESS','Form feedback','Message here', 'From: email.com')){
print("Thank you for your enquiry, please go back");
}else{
print("An unknown error has occured, please go back");
}
?>

It seems to work i dont get any errors and the thank you is printed on the screen, i check my inbox but no mail is being sent.

Your if statement is checking to see if the mail function is true, it's not performing the mail function.

You want to say, if 'somethings true', then send the email and print 'thankyou for your enquiry' - else, print 'an unknown error has occured'...

if (somethings true) {
mail('EMAIL ADDRESS','Form feedback','Message here', 'From: email.com');
print("Thank you for your enquiry, please go back");
}else{
print("An unknown error has occured, please go back");
}

Just post again if you have more questions

Cheers,
Jim.

mail() is a boolean function and therefore returns true or false as appropriate.

It is more likely, looking at your code, that your email is being filtered out as spam because your From: email address is not a valid format.
