This is My Code

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$recipients = "zadine@gameanimehybrid.com";

$headers["From"] = $email;
$headers["To"] = "zadine@gameanimehybrid.com";
$headers["Subject"] = $subject;

$body = $message;

$sendit = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
if (!$sendit)
     {
     echo("Your email has failed plz try again");
     } else{
     echo("Thankyou we for your Email");
     }
?>

$sendit = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

I dunno whatdacrap that is, but as far as I know the syntax for sending mail in PHP is mail(), which includes the address and headers and such.

php.net

"dat crap" is OOP (object oriented programming), and is technically valid. The only problem is, and i can only assume since zadine didn't specify what the problem was, that he never set the object.

In simple terms, he either needs to find the mail class that and set the object before making that call, or change the code to this (i suggest this):

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$recipients = 'zadine@gameanimehybrid.com';

$header = 'To: '.$email."\r\n"
               .'From: '$name.' <'.$email.'>';

if (!mail($recipients, $subject, $message, $header)){
    echo("Your email has failed please try again");
}else{
    echo("Thank you we for your Email");
}
?>

With any luck, that should work.

i dont know why but i felt an insane urge to correct your english there...

    echo("Thank you for your Email");

or

    echo("We thank you for your Email");

ty for your help, sorry i didn't explain properly


I don't understant what "\r\n" is doing?

$header = 'To: '.$email."\r\n"
              .'From: '$name.' <'.$email.'>';

it still dosen't work

I don't know what you mean by it still doesn't work. Is it still giving you a fatal error? If so, what error?
If it's simply not sending the e-mail, then that's something you need to discuss with your host.
