OK guys, I've searched the forums and documentation and racked my brains for hours, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out how to get my plugin to send and email! Everything works smoothly right up until the send mail part, and then NO MAIL SENDS!!
I've tried my_mail() and just mail(), and they don't work. Is there something I'm missing? Is there documentation hidden somewhere for this?
Please help, or I will go crazy. (I promise.)
send mail function is;
my_mail($subject , $message)

Now who would that send the email to?

Ignore that. >_>
If i am reading this right (Which i very well may not being) that send it to the user of the page or post it is located in.
Alright, seems as though my hosting company pulled a fast one, and PHP mail just doesn't work on their sever. So... my code is probably good, but there's still some mystery for me about that my_mail() function. Is there documentation for that somewhere, or is it a secret function?
Its not the secret function !
As I said, you can use it to send emails from your plugin.
For example,
my_mail("".$mybb->settings['email_sent_to']."", "
".$mybb->settings['email_subject']."\"", "
".$mybb->settings['email_message']."
");
This will send Email containing Email Subject + Email Message to the email in "$mybb->settings['email_sent_to']" setting.
Edit: May be this will help you a litle:

Where's the MyBB documentation page for this function? It would be helpful to see some official documentation.
