Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new to this php stuff, but I'm trying to create a page that the user uploads there resume and that gets sent to my email account. Right now it says its been sent, but I don't see it in my inbox at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

Can anyone look at the code and tell me what I'm doing wrong TIA
here's the link

and my code:

<?php
       $name    = $_POST['name'];
	   $email    = $_POST['email'];
	   $eligible  = $_POST['eligible'];
       $type = $_POST['type'];
	   
    if(isset($_POST['submit']))
    {
        //The form has been submitted, prep a nice thank you message
        $output = 	"<div id='succsess_page'>";
					"<h1>Email Sent Successfully.</h1>";
					"<p>Thank you <strong>$name</strong>, your resume has been submitted to us.</p>";
					"</div>";
		
		
        //Set the form flag to no display (cheap way!)
        $flags = 'style="display:none;"';

        //Deal with the email
        $to = 'andre@cssto.com';
        $subject = 'Magic Bus Company Employment Application Form';

        // $message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
        $attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])));
        $filename = $_FILES['file']['name'];

        $boundary =md5(date('r', time())); 

        $headers = "From: $email\r\nReply-To: $to";
        $headers .= "\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"_1_$boundary\"";

        $message="This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
		Name: $name;\r\n\n
		Email: $email;\r\n\n
		Are you eligible to work in Canada? $eligible;\r\n\n
		What type of drivers license do you have? $type;\r\n\n

I would put a condition on the mail() function and see what it returns.

I think your error/success messages should really be moved down the code so they are dependent on the mail function succeeding rather than just the posting of the form itself.

if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo("Thank you for your submission.");
}
else {
echo("We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request.");
}

This should point you as to whether your PHP system is actually sending the mail at all. I have had problems with the basic mail() function on certain ISP.
