First, make sure that sendmail is something the iUSR_machinename can run --
Just because you logged in as you can run it doesn't mean that the user that
Apache/PHP is running as can run it.
Next, forget about that goofy DOS backslash thing. Just use "/" for your
paths.
Finally, add the optional arguments to exec()
exec("d:/sendmail/sendmail.exe -t -messagefile=d:/sendmail/msg.txt",
$results, $error);
while (list(,$line) = each($results)){
echo $line, "<BR>\n";
}
if ($error){
echo "OS Error $error. Usually path/permissions.<BR>\n":
}
