PHP form mails not working on particular server

[charlie]

I've got two php mail scripts that I've used on my hosting with no problems at all and have also used on a couple of clients hosting packages.

Now though I've been asked to put a form on another clients (which is also PHP enabled) and neither of them will work on it. I've uploaded a phpinfo file in case it helps ( http://www.formationtraining.co.uk/phpinfo.php ) ...

Can anyone see any reason why it wouldn't work ?

What PHP version was your original server?  I notice that one's quite a recent version.

Might have to actually see some of the PHP scripts, Charlie old bean.

[charlie]

mine is PHP Version 4.3.7

another clients is PHP Version 4.4.1

another is PHP Version 4.3.10


this one as you say is PHP Version 5.1.2 .. surely they'd be backward compatible though ?


Don't know if it helps but this is the error message I got from the first script I used

might be something to do with it being installed on a Windows box?

I'd always stick with Windows/ASP and Linux/PHP to avoid weird problems

That did cross my mind as it initially was built with asp files .. but they enabled it for php .. maybe that's it !! anyway .. have asked for a contact at the hosts so have to see what happens from that !

edit: Stuck that page on my hosting for now

Nothing (much) wrong with running PHP on Windows, although I'd only do it on Apache, IIS doesn't follow the CGI specs properly and generally acts weird if you try anything clever with certain $_SERVER variables.

register_globals is off on the server where it isn't working.

WHS. 

this one as you say is PHP Version 5.1.2 .. surely they'd be backward compatible though ?

As with MySQL 5 having strict mode on by default, several config options in PHP have had their default values changed for PHP 5.  It's a lot more sensible now, but it can bugger up some scripts that were developed under 4's slightly more lax environment (I'm referring to the basic, unedited installation, naturally).

As this says, you shouldn't really code with register_globals, as it can leave whacking great security holes if you're not careful.
