Problem with Xampp, Mercury, PHP

[jcafaro10]

I'm developing a simple website and I want to have a php script that sends an email. I set it up and everything and used the correct code, however when I try and preview the page its just blank. This is a weird behavior because if I disable the mercury service in xampp it loads the page fine but of course, sends no email. Having the mercury service enabled just makes the page blank. I've not messed with any of mercury settings and I'm using firefox.

Any errors in the error log? Is there a timeout or just a blank page immediately and done loading? Do you print output on the screen before you try to send mail? If so, does that show?

[jcafaro10]

If by log file you mean the contents of this "C:\Program Files\xampp\MercuryMail\LOGS" there are no log files in there.

My code looks like this

Code: Select all

<?php
   if(isset($_POST['submitted']))
    {
       if(mail("jcafaro10@gmail.com","Email from " . $_POST['email'],$_POST['question']))
           echo "Bingo";
        else echo "No Go";
    }
?>

Nothing shows up anywhere

But even if I take out all of the PHP all together I still get the same effect so I think it has to do with Mercury itself

This is a problem that I can't even preview ANY websites so long as mercury is running. Please help
