Not sure what the problem may be but this: $headers = 'From: $from'; should probably be: $headers = "From: $from"; with double quotes instead of single quotes.

If Don E's post didn't answer you're OP, what error's are you getting?

php doesnt always give an error when something doesnt work, could just be a type or something missed scripted

That's why I said that your script is simply doing what you told it to do. That equals no error (in this case). So, check the values in your logic. You're expecting one of your ifs to trip, but it's not. Hence, no error. Check your condition values by echoing each one. Without actually being able to run your script, that's where I think you'll find the problem.

mta?

[divinedesigns1]

ok it doesnt have a email handler, so sending a email through my localhost wouldnt work

Get a wampserver so you can send emails from your localhost.. It's free. http://www.wampserver.com/en/

you would still need to configure an SMTP server. It won't be done automatically.

Didn't realize a wamp needed SMTP only. That's good to know. Thanks again scientist.

[divinedesigns1]

yeah im using a wamp server and im not sure how to config it but then again i have a host so ill just pop it in there when needed

[niche]

per thescientist's #10, you need a SMTP email account so check with your provider.

nope i dont believe thats what he meant, to my knowledge he meant you would need to config the smtp within the wamp server to be able to pass emails using the wamp server, but since i have a host i dont need to config it on my wamp server ill just use my host to test the forms
