Hi all,

I've created the below function to automatically send me an alert in outlook
when someone completes various forms on my website.

The problem though is that mail reports that I have only 1 of the 3 required
parameters defined!

I have no idea where this is going wrong, because as far as I can tell I
have defined all 3 parameters! Can anyone spot the problem?

Regards
Tobierre


<?PHP
function alert_outlook($Type)
{
$Type = strtolower($Type);

switch($Type)
{
case 'newsletter':
$Subject = 'message subject one here';
$Alert = "Hi,\n Just thought you would like to know that there has been
another subscription to the newsletter!\n\n";
break;

$Alert = wordwrap($Alert, 65);
}

//set headers etc
$Recipient = "Auto Alerts<AutoAlerts@domain.com>";

$Message = "\n\n{$Alert}\n\n\n";
$Message .= 'Date: ' . date("l, js F Y") . "\n";
$Message .= 'Time: ' . date("H:i:s") . "\n";
$Message .= 'IP Address: ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n";

$Headers = "FROM: Auto Mailer<AutoMailer@Domain.com>\r\n";

mail("$Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers");

//error check
if(!mail("$Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers"))
{
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
?>
