[Solved]PHP mail function not sending Occasionally I have had trouble sending emails using the builtin mail() function in PHP. Sometimes emails never reached their intended destination. Naturally I have assumed that there might be a problem with some spam filters used. However, lazy as I am, I have not given it a second thought. Instead I have used a PHP class that allows me to send emails using a remote smtp server using an account on that dedicated server. The problem seems to be that PHP use the ini directive sendmail_from to set the from email address in the SMTP protocol. The simplest solution is to set the directive during execution: ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from); $headers = "From: $email_from";mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); The problem as well as the solution was already known by others. Still I bet there are lots of people out there with this problem without them knowing it.

Another popular question is why it even matters which one is used, since from a user’s perspective everything looks fine with both types of redirects Well, even though things might look fine on the users end, these redirects can cause a great deal of trouble if not employed correctly. These two redirects have two different uses and should be applied accordingly. Just remember a 301 redirect is a “Permanent Redirect” which transfers over the page rank and other historical search engine data. The 302 redirect is a “Temporary Redirect” which does not transfer over this information and should only be used in very limited situations. Some examples of when you would use a 301 redirect are: 1. 2. 301 redirects can be used to point (non-www) links to (www-version) instead.
