Tom,
Did you run the script from cron? If so, what operating system are you
using? Putting PHP info in my script won't do me any good since cron
won't run it. The trouble is that cron does nothing. When I run the
email script I get no mail. If I run the script from the command line
by hand ./script_name etc it works fine.
Any other ideas would be great.
Thanks

Put phpinfo(); in your script and you should get an email from cron
with the output of your script. See if there is anything in there that
can give you a clue.
I ran your script using cli 4.3.0 and it worked fine.
What user are you running cron as?
