email not processing

[Guest]

I posted on this earlier in the week and got an answer that wasn't really clear to me so here goes again. When I go to check out the customer is getting the response message but that is where it stops. No mail is going to the store owner and none is going out to those on the extra order email list. When I posted earlier in the week I was given this response

CODE

<?

mail("[email protected]", "Test Email", "Test Email From website");

?>

I placed the test where the owner's email address goes and also where the extra order email addresses go all to no avail. Should I have it installed somewhere else? (I did replace username and yourdomain.com with my own.If it has something to do with email filters wouldn't that have grabbed and stopped the message going back to the "shopper"Any help greatly appreciated! Another thing I was curious about involves MySQL......to save time adding products would it be in any way possible to go into the tables and "slam" the information directly into the tables and then re-upload them to the db? I have a pc with a windows server(apache) installed for development purposes(everything perl so far but began last week with a 26 week gig to get things rolling with php. I'm always hearing from perl writers that perl is better and faster and much more secure although the recent versions of php appearing are pretty fast plus they have so many functions already written right into php itself. Hopefully by the time I get done with the php class coupled with the fact that I'm studying through some "teach yourself" books, but any way when I get done with all that I'm hoping that I can log in here and help people out myself. Well, everyone have a beautiful day and may God bless all of you ever so abundantly. B) I can be reached at [email protected]
