Could you please explain a little more on the error that you are getting (if any), or the steps that you are taking to get the error.

Thanks.

no error

I am not getting a error, I just never receive the email. It must have something to do with the set up of sending emails and receiving them.

This indicates that your

$WAGLOBAL_Email_Server = "" ;

settings in the WA_Globals file is not set up correctly. Usually leaving this setting blank would work for most people but in some cases depending on your server you might need to specify an email server.

To do a quick test, please create a blank php file and paste this code into the file:

<?php
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

make sure to change the to and the from and then view the page in a browser. This should tell us if you are able to send mail from your server.

I tried it with "" and then I called godaddy and they said to try "rely-hosting.secureserver.net" Not working
What do you mean by testing the php page. Do I load it to my server? and how do I access it?

Yeah, just upload to the page to your server and then browse to it.

Your settings look correct, but we need to check if mail is working on your server.

Please let me know if you received the email by running the script that i sent you.

The script worked, I received the email. So now what do I do???

That is good. This indicates that mail is working on your server and leaving the setting blank should work for you.

Could you please try it again with leaving the setting blank ("").
