So this is my code for sending an email. When I try to send an email i get right message, in this case "User Exist" and "Email is sent", but i can't receive an email. So can somebody find mistake and try to help me?
<form action="forgot2.php" method="post">
Enter you email ID: <input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>
error_reporting(0);
$email=$_POST["email"];
$Subject = "GOSPodin covek";
if($_POST['submit']=='Send')
{
mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die(mysql_error);
mysql_select_db('login');
$query="select * from clanovi where email='$email'";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die(error);
if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
echo "User exist";
}
else
{
echo "No user exist with this email id";
}
}
if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
$code=rand(100,999);
$message="You activation link is: http://localhost/login_form/forgot.php? email=$email&code=$code";
mail($email, "Subject Goes Here", $message);
echo "Email sent";
}
else
{
echo "No user exist with this email id";
}

Answer 1

First of all, you need to check if the mail is actually sent:
if (mail($email, "Subject Goes Here", $message)) {
// then it's actually sent.
}
If mail() doesn't return false, then the mail was passed to your local mail server for delivery. Presume you already have a mail server set up on your local test box? If not, problem is obvious...
If PHP checks out OK and you still don't receive the mail (and it's not in your spam folders etc.), you need to investigate your server's mail logs for possible issues outside PHP.
...and for the love of code and all things sacred to debugging, do NOT use error_reporting(0); if you're actually trying to figure out what's wrong! (Error messages are kinda helpful for that.)

Answer 2

Are you sure your script is actually sending the mail?
Replace:
mail($email, "Subject Goes Here", $message);
echo "Email sent";
By:
if(#mail($email, "Subject Goes Here", $message)) {
echo "Email sent";
} else {
echo "Email not sent";
}

Answer 3

Assuming mail() does return true and that the email is a valid one, you want to make you have a valid smtp server configured in php.ini in the [mail function] section.

Answer 4

Just try
I use this works fine for me
$headers = 'From: support#example.com';
mail($payer_email, 'Tokens', "Thank you for purchase tokens $additional-message", $headers);

Answer 5

change this one.
$query="select * from clanovi where email='".$email."'";
