sending email to a user

[mudmin]

You didn't include your actual form...if you want to paste it on pastebin and give me the link that would probably help, but I can see a few things off the bat...

Code:

$from = $user->data()->email['email'];

should probably be...

Code:

$from = $user->data()->email;

Secondly, you may want to consider using

Code:

$name = Input::get('name');

instead of

Code:

$name = $_POST['name'];

It most likely wouldn't be a problem on sending emails, but that would sanitize the input in case someone was doing something mischievous. Do this especially if you plan on saving a copy of the sent message to the database.

You may not be able to do it for the email address. It's been a while since I've done that.

Either way, try fixing the

Code:

$from = $user->data()->email;

and see if it sends. If not, we can look a little farther.
