php mail not working

[djme]

Hi, I had a mail form that was working fine but I changed it but I changed it to add some validation checks. When I tried it I didn't recieve any mail even though it passes validation. I then re-uploaded the backup (of the form that had been working) and this doesn't work either. So I contacted the hosts and they tell me that at the almost the same time they had updated php to 4.4.2, im 100% certain that there is nothing wrong with my code.

Is there anything that this update may have done to be causing the problem? I have tried changing the destination to a number of different addresses provided by different email providers and none of them work.

Post your code.

Its just the basic mail function, ive not bothered with the validation stuff because even when I put the code below in a blank page it doesn't work. Im certain that its something to due with the upgrade.

<?php
$email1 = "your_email_address";
$email = "my_email_address";
$subject = "Testing";
$message = "This is a test";
mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email1");
?>

I have just uploaded the same code as I posted it here just to make entirely sure that it is OK! I uploaded it to a different hosting account but with the same version and settings and it works on that one. So it isn't the code or the settings, is there anything else that may be causing this because my hosts appear to be as mystified as me about it!

Their mail settings.

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email1");

Code: Select all

 <?php

$email = "my_email_address";
$subject = "Testing";
$message = "This is a test";
$headers = "From: your_email_address";
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
