Email Generation With Php

[xGrendel]

I'm currently working on a project that is extremely simple:

• [li]Take a PayPal IPN post
  [li]Complete the post-back
  [li]Generate an email based on the variables posted.
  

Unfortunately, this is a solo project as anyone I know who knows PHP is not available, out of town or gone crazy. Essentially, I'm stuck at one spot: it doesn't send the email from what I can tell. I've tested everything I can think of.

 

I've set the permissions to both 755 and 777. Either way, I encounter no errors that I can see. I see from my visitor log that the script is being called and returning a 200 response. Of course, (from what I know) if the script is responding with a 200 'ok' response, there will not be any errors. I have also verified that there are no errors generated. I do know the script, without my little addition, does work. I've verified this several times as I have used this rest of the script without my appended mail lines.

 

Here is the section of code in question:

>// if ok, send a confirmation email to the buyer and seller
$body = "Thank you for your purchase!\n\nPlease review the following transaction details we have received from PayPal\n\n$item_name\n\n$item_number\n\n$mc_gross\n\nSincerely\n\nAllen Olson & Co.";  

mail($payer_email, 'Thank you for your payment!', $body, 'From: webmaster@allenolsonco.com');

 

Can anyone see any direct syntax errors that my be causing the problem? I wouldn't think I would have to change any of the spacing, but could that be an issue?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
