Php email help

Hi

I have a sign up form and want the sign up form to send a email to the user who has just signed up

I have the following in my sign up form page

PHP Code:
<?php 
$to 
"$emailadd"
$subject "Registration Information"
$emailadd $_REQUEST['emailadd'];
$password $_REQUEST['password'];
$message $_REQUEST['message']; 
$headers 
"Email Address: $emailadd
Password: 
$password";
$sent mail($to$subject$message$headers); 
if(
$sent) {print "Your mail was sent successfully"; } 
else {print 
"We encountered an error sending your mail"; } 
?>


But am getting the following error

We encountered an error sending your mail

Any ideas where I am going wrong

Hi,

turn your error messages back on:
PHP Code:
 error_reporting(-1); 

This will tell you what's actually wrong.

It seems you somehow confused the message with the email headers: That "Email Address: ... Password: " belongs to the message, not the headers. And you're missing a "From" header.

It might be a good idea to use a mailer library like PHPMailer instead of fumbling with the low level "mail" function. Only do that if you really know what you're doing.

Hi

I looked at the php mailer and to be honest that confused me as the download had so many pages that I was not sure what files to change and add to the coding etc

Just click on Wiki. It explains everything about the installation process and how to use PHPMailer.
