    I've been trying to use the mail() function mail a form on my website and it keeps failing, here is the code I'm using:

    I did output each of the variables previously to make sure it got the strings from the form and it did get them correctly, so I assumed it must be the mail() call.


    PHP:
    <?php
    $firstname 
    $_REQUEST['firstname'];
    $source $_REQUEST['source'];
    $addcorrect $_REQUEST['addcorrect'];
    $artist $_REQUEST['artist'];
    $album $_REQUEST['album'];
    $song $_REQUEST['song'];
    $lyrics $_REQUEST['lyrics'];
    $sent mail("imanidiot777@gmail.com","Add/Correct Lyrics","$firstname  $source  $addcorrect  $artist  $album  $song  $lyrics","From: $firstname");
    if(
    $sent)
        {print 
    "your message was sent";}
    else
        {print 
    "your message failed";}
    //header("location:addcorrect.html");
    ?>

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    You are not calling any send method, how do you expect the mail to be dispatched! All i can see is you are collecting contacts!
