Mail() Configured Correctly In Php.ini?

[glock-]

I'm having problems using the mail function in php w/TCH.

 

><php
$result = mail("mike_blah@hotmail.com", "my subject", "my body");
echo($result);
?>

 

Even this snippet of code wont generate an email or even post me the $result. Any suggestions are welcome. Is mail not configured properly? have other people tried using mail() and had it work successfully?

I might be wrong ,but I think the first tag should be <?php.

 

><?php
$result = mail("mike_blah@hotmail.com", "my subject", "my body");
echo($result);
?>

Doh, yeah stupid mistake forgetting the ?, it was a late night. I wrote that simple code because I'm having a bigger problem trying to do the same thing, maybe you can help.

 

Here is the html form:

 

><form method="POST" action="email.php">
 <a class="header">Your E-Mail Address:</a><br>
 <input type="text" name="email_address"><br><br>
 <a class="header">Subject of the E-Mail:</a><br>
 <input type="text" name="subject"><br><br>
 <a class="header">Your Message:</a><br>
 <textarea rows="15" name="body" cols="45"></textarea><br>
 <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>

 

and here is email.php

 

><?php
       $email = $_POST['email_address'];
       $subject = $_POST['subject'];
       $body = $_POST['body'];
       $to = "mike_blah@hotmail.com";
       $headers = "From: Web Email Form <'$email'>\r\n";

       $result = mail($to, $subject, $body);
       echo($result):
?>

 

The weird thing is no email is generated and I don't even get the echo(result).

Sigh

 

I found the silly error, no more late night programming for me.
