Hi,
It seems that no matter what PHP script I use to send an email it won't work, is this something to do with the server?
The most basic code I have tried is the following:
Can anyone see why this might not work?
Thanks,
$to = "recipient@example.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("Message successfully sent!");
} else {
echo("Message delivery failed...");
}

Which message are you getting? If you get the successful message, your server might be blacklisted by the recipient. If you get the failed message, your server probably isn't setup right, and you should talk with your host about it.

I don't get any message lol I think my host provides smtp settings but not sure how to set them up or whether they need to be setup? Thanks, I will ask the hosting company about it.

I use htmlMimeMail to send all my email from PHP. It allows you to use remote (or local) smtp servers which will bypass any host restriction on the local mail() function. This class also supports mail in HTML and text format as well as attachments.

That's a neat little class. I've tried a bunch like it and they all fail when I try to use gmail as the SMTP server. This one worked the first time I tried it. Sweet

Your code looks fine, so it might be something to do with your host and the server outgoing smtp config.
And of course I presume you have double checked your email address in $to
