How do I specify an actual SMTP server? (Like mail.host.com)
This is what I have so far:
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
I was to http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php and saw this
syntax:
mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string
$additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
Ronhttp://
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php
looks like you can edit php.ini and change SMTP=localhost to something
else and restart apache (if needed)

if u cant change the configuration settings of php.ini
use http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
alternatively u can also hav ini_set on top of every page.

I am on a shared web site hosting company. They are asking me to edit
my PHP script to specify the SMTP using $aditional_parameters on the URL
below. If this can't be achieved then I need to confirm this.

I am needing to put this into one specific PHP script. What would the
ini_set look like? Ron

No, AFAIK you cannot configure the SMTP server that way, unless your Web
hosting company hacked the mail function. Otherwise, I think they have
no idea how to do it and are wild guessing.
The fact is that you do not need to use an SMTP server, especially if
your web host is run on Linux or any Unix like system.
In Linux the mail function just injects the message in the local mail
server queue and from then on the mail server sends the message to the
remote recipient domain SMTP server so it reaches the destination mailbox.
You may want to watch this slide presentation that has a slide that
explains exactly how mail messages are routed. Take a look at slide 13.

You may want to watch this tutorial video that explains why presenting
and processing a form with a single script is a better solution.
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/1/package/1/section/usage.html
Basically if you use the same script, if the form has invalid fields,
you can present the form with the previously submitted values.

I've been coding PHP for about a year, and I'm running out of things to code

appreciate it.
Andrew:
Here's an idea. Go through the php manuals and make small examples of
everything you find.
That way not only do you learn, but you have examples to fall back on
when the need rises.
Here's a small (believe me) portion of the demo's I've written over the years:
http://webbytedd.com/a.php
These cover different languages, but it will give you the idea. Just
make a inventory of examples and post them with code. Not only will
it help you, but might help others when you answer questions on this
list showing the solution.
Cheers,

Hi there,
I've been using PHP for a very long time now, a few years ago
developing webapplications with apache and mysql, now and for a few
years using mostly the CLI (mostly as a replacement of all other
scripting languages available on linux, sh, pearl, etc...). However,
I'm building a project that works very much like a webserver (and does
much custom stuff) and i would like to execute php files in a similar
way as they are executed by a server like apache.
I've been executing php from my C/C++ executable simply by writing
the HTTP query string in a temp file (/dev/shm/...) and then executing
the php file like so:
// usage is: phpfile.php <input/querystring file> <output file destination>
system("php /path/to/phpfile.php
/dev/shm/this_executions_querystring.txt
/dev/shm/this_execution_output_destination.txt");
But the problem is that this phpfile.php has to be made to read the
content of the querystring file to get it, etc... also this design
will write the output file to /dev/shm, which is then read and sent my
the main program. I'm going to use popen in the future...
I'd prefer if i could somehow, on the CLI, set the global variables
like $_SERVER and others... this would make it so my software could
execute any php file that was built for another webserver
transparently. Is this possible on the CLI? Is there a simple way to
do what I want? (Btw, the server is already handling all the HTTP
packaging/parsing, the problem is really just with the execution)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi,

Never done this, but could you set environment variables, which would
then be picked up by PHP (and stuffed in $_ENV)?
