What you need to do is set your SMTP server inside the php.ini file...
[mail function]
SMTP = smtp.server.com ; for win32 only
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well ; (default is
sendmail -t)
The test string I used to make sure my example worked:
?php
print mail ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'No need for reply -- PHP test!', /* subject */
hi JohnnLine 2n);/* body*/
?

Hi
I was trying to use the mail() function, but it did not work,
maybe
because
of some settings problem or something that I can't figure out
I went online and tried to execute the following
//===
?php
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$content = $_POST['content'];
$to = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$headers = From:.$from;
if(mail($to, $subject, $content, From: $from)) {
echosent;
}
else{ echo not sent;
}
?
//===
the variable values sent from a Form in another and
they are sent
correctly
but I keep having this error
//===
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at localhost
port
25,
verify your SMTP
and smtp_port setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in
C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mysite/myfile.php on line
194
//===
my php.ini settings for the mail function are
//=
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] //=
thanks in advance
Dre,
