I am trying to help a m8 who is having problems with his PHP form. It's a form clients fill in to apply for an account on his company site and it WAS sending fine then just stopped. We changed it to send to a GMail account instead and forwarded it to his office and this worked for a week or so then that also stopped sending!

Any ideas? I have looked at his hosting sites help and checked the code on my XAMPP webserver and it works ok - I wondered if the Hosting company had upgraded their PHP or something and this may have affected it but it's odd it would work then stop on 2 different email accounts!

Any ideas appreciated...I am just going to move a copy of the form to my Fasthosts site and see if it will work from there. Problem is I can't just host it anywhere as it uses certificates and SSL I think as it's a financial company so they have quite tight security for their customers.

Is it using a frmeowrk to send the mail or simply the mail() command in PHP?

If it is doing something more complicated then try creating a simple page with just :

< ? php mail("your@emailaddress.com","subject","message"); ? >

If that works then maybe check the from address the form is sending from, perhaps the mail server isn't allowing the senders address to send through it...

Indeed, a lot of the formmail scripts only allow for an email address to be used which is at the website's domain.

eg.. yourwebsite.com ---> info@yourwebsite.com would work fine, however

eg.. yourwebsite.com ---> info@gmail.com would not!
