Hello. I've created a website for a friend and I'm trying to add a contact form in php where people type in comments and click submit, and it emails to my friends email. But whenever I test it out, I get the following error:

Data has been submitted to bobshinglesband@gmail.com!
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Mail() functionality if not on by default; please purchase this option by contacting zymic.com in /www/zxq.net/b/o/b/bobshinglesband/htdocs/mailer.php on line 14

mailer.php:

CODE

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "bobshinglesband@gmail.com";
$subject = "bob shingles band email!!";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
 
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
 
echo "Data has been submitted to $to!";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

echo "blarg!";

}
?>

contact.php:

CODE

<center><form method="post" action="mailer.php">
            Name:
            <input type="text" name="name" size="19" /><br />
            <br />
            Email:
            <input type="text" name="email" size="19" /><br />
            <br />
            <textarea rows="9" name="message" cols="30"></textarea>
            <br />
            <br />
            <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" />
        </form></center>

Anyone know what the problem is?? Thanks

It's not really worth ten dollars... I can still use smtp for free can't I?

No, we don't allow outside connections as it causes too much phishing activity and spam.
