I have a mail script on my server to submit links, but I keep getting the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /home/tails5t/public_html/submit.php on line 32
The source code is here:

On line 32 you have missed the $_POST var

$text = Trim(stripslashes(['Comments']));


should be

$text = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Comments']));

Okay, that error's fixed, but I've got a new one that I don't understand, because $email is defined. Now I'm getting:

have you tried another mail box ? Or maybe your server is blocking "mail" function

I've tried it on my other address, and it works, any suggestions on making it work with Hotmail?

symptoms looks like that hotmail is blocking emails. check you spam settings, check spam / bulk folder, maybe your letter will be there ?
