mail() problem

[Daniel T]

Hell all. I am having troubles with a mail form on my site, located here. When I go to send the mail, it just sits there loading for a while, and then eventually gives me an error saying somethign like "This document contains no data". Here is the source code for the script:

The form:

<div id='mailform'>
<form action='mail.php' method='post'>
<div>
	<div>
		<label for='mname'>Name:<span class='asterix'> *</span></label>
		<input onfocus="style.borderColor='#000000';" onblur="style.borderColor='#cccccc';" type='text' name='mname' id='mname' />
	</div>
	<div class='center'>
		<label for='memail'>Your e-mail:<span class='asterix'> *</span></label>
		<input onfocus="style.borderColor='#000000';" onblur="style.borderColor='#cccccc';" type='text' name='memail' id='memail' />
	</div>
	<div>
		<label for='msub'>Subject<span class='asterix'> *</span></label>
		<input onfocus="style.borderColor='#000000';" onblur="style.borderColor='#cccccc';" type='text' name='msub' id='msub' />
	</div>
	<div class='center'>
		<label for='mcom'>Comment:<span class='asterix'> *</span></label>
		<textarea onfocus="style.borderColor='#000000';" onblur="style.borderColor='#cccccc';" name='mcom' id='mcom' cols='30' rows='5'></textarea>
	</div>
	<div style="border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;">
		<input onmousedown="style.backgroundColor='#dddddd'" onmouseup="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'" onblur="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'" onmouseover="style.backgroundColor='#eeeeee'" onmouseout="style.backgroundColor='#fff'" type='submit' value='Submit Comment' class='button' />
		<input onmousedown="style.backgroundColor='#dddddd'" onmouseup="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'" onblur="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'" onmouseover="style.backgroundColor='#eeeeee'" onmouseout="style.backgroundColor='#fff'" type='reset' value='Reset Form' class='button' />
	</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

And the PHP on the mail.php page:

<?php    
    $name = $_REQUEST['mname'];
    $email = $_REQUEST['memail'];
    $sub = $_REQUEST['msub'];
    $comment = $_REQUEST['mcom'];
        
    // makes sure no required fields were left blank
    if($name == "" || $email == "" || $comment == "" || $sub == "")
    {
        print("One or more of the required fields was not filled in. Please go back and try again.");
        include('includes/footer.xml');
        exit;
    }
    mail("dandaman_91@yahoo.ca", $sub, "$name\n$email\n$com");
?>

Here is the lines in my php.ini file that refer to the mail function:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 216.36.173.149
smtp_port = 80

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = dandaman_91@yahoo.ca

I am running PHP v5.0.0RC1 off of Apache 2 on Windows XP. Can someone tell me what I've done wrong?

I'd try replacing $_REQUEST with $_POST to read the incoming data as follows;

<?php
$name = $_POST['mname'];
$email = $_POST['memail'];
$sub = $_POST['msub'];
$comment = $_POST['mcom'];

// makes sure no required fields were left blank
if($name == "" || $email == "" || $comment == "" || $sub == "")
{
print("One or more of the required fields was not filled in. Please go back and try again.");
include('includes/footer.xml');
exit;
}
mail("dandaman_91@yahoo.ca", $sub, "$name\n$email\n$com");
?>

OK, I switched that, but it still isn't working. Any more suggestions?

Try with this script:

<?php    
    $name = $_POST['mname'];
    $email = $_POST['memail'];
    $sub = $_POST['msub'];
    $comment = $_POST['mcom'];
        
    // makes sure no required fields were left blank
    if($name == "" || $email == "" || $comment == "" || $sub == "")
    {
        print("One or more of the required fields was not filled in. Please go back and try again.");
        include('includes/footer.xml');
        exit;
    }
    if (mail("dandaman_91@yahoo.ca", $sub, $name."\n".$email."\n".$com)){
echo "Done";
}else {
echo "Failed";
}
?>

If this doesn't work try with simple mail script.

mail("Mail.mail@hotmail.com", "Subject", "Message");
