You might want to check if there is a newline at the end, you should do
rtrim() when you draw the subject from the db

If this Windows98 machine of yours is your personal and you connect to the internet through a dialup connection, try to use the same server which is specified in your mail-program. It is because of this setting that your code fails to execute. It tries to connect to a SMTP service on "localhost" which is your own machine. Windows98 doesn't have a SMTP-service installed per default. - Carsten -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] Problem with mail function
The mail function uses the specified SMTP mail server to send out the mail.
you will need to set the php.ini variables as follows
SMTP= localhost ; The name or IP address of the
machine which is running
the SMTP Server. for ex ;
mail.flashmail.com
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The address that you want to appear
in
the From Field of the mail.
The error you are getting is most probably because of the fact that there is
no SMTP server running on the machine specified in the above SMTP setting.
take a look at the following link for more info on the mail function -
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
hope that helps
