k well i've just finished my portfolio site, and i have been doing tutorials so i can learn php and i followed it to the letter but for some reason it doens't send the e-mail to my inbox. the site link is www.stray-designs.com/contact.html

on the contact page i have a regular contact form


<form id=\"form1\" name=\"form1\" method=\"POST\" action=\"form_response.php\">
  <p>
  <label class=\"label\">Name:   </label> 
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" id=\"name\" size=\"40\" />

</p>	
 <p>
  <label class=\"label\">E-mail: </label >
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" id=\"email\" size=\"39\" />
  
  </p>
  <p>
  <label class=\"label\">
  Leave your comment here:
  </label>
  </p>
  <TEXTAREA NAME=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" ROWS=6 COLS=40> </TEXTAREA>  <br /><br />
      
    <input type=\"submit\" src=\"images/button.png\" name=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />
    
   

</form>

and then in my php page form_response.php


<?php

$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$comment = $_REQUEST['comment'];


$email_message = \"Name: {$name} and your email is {$email} and your comment is {$comment}.\";

mail( \"stray22@hotmail.co.uk\",'Form Response ', \"$email\");
header( \"Location: http://www.stray-designs.com/thanks.html\" ); 


?>

its a simple bit of code but i haven't a clue why its not working. can anyone help out a pure noob at this?

Alright gangsta give this a whirl, and if that doesnt work make sure your server is properly configured to send mail.

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id=\"form1\" name=\"form1\" method=\"POST\" action=\"form_response.php\">
  <p>
  <label class=\"label\">Name:   </label>
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" id=\"name\" size=\"40\" />

</p>   
<p>
  <label class=\"label\">E-mail: </label >
  <input type=\"text\" name=\"email\" id=\"email\" size=\"39\" />
 
  </p>
  <p>
  <label class=\"label\">
  Leave your comment here:
  </label>
  </p>
  <TEXTAREA NAME=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" ROWS=6 COLS=40> </TEXTAREA>  <br /><br />
     
    <input type=\"submit\" src=\"images/button.png\" name=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />
   
</form>
</body>
</html>

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];



mail( \"mdgrech@gmail.com\", $comment, $email);
echo \"Mail Sent.\";



?>

it seems that the server is the problem gonna check it now to see if it supports it
