Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.

unless you are specifing your own function called ‘died()’ somewhere I can see, you need to change all 2 instances of that to die().

change


'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

to


'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\\r\
";

Hi…

Thank for your reply…

But still the values of the form is not sent to the mail id

4

OK, you said it wasnt working, I assumed that you were not getting the email !! Give me 5

5

your script works fine, ive tried it on my server here and all is OK

6

Should i change the function died() to function die()??

7

Its not actually stopping the script from working here (surprisingly) but Id change it for the sake of correctness.

8

iam trying to run in wamp server
should i setup any mail server for testing the script \locally??

9

your server will need to have an SMTP server configured and running to test this script yes, PHP doesnt send the mail, it only passes it to the local SMTP server.

On this thread I suggested to use CRLF:

Even though it did not solve that problem but maybe should try it here and see if it will work.

This type of errors is due to send a line more than 1000 characters long:

Tom, its being run on Wamp … hence no mail
