Hi Kristina

I was wrestling with this problem a few months ago, I remember having to do some fiddling with the PHP.INI. Anyway the coding below works for WINDOWS and PHP 5


<?php session_start; ob_start;
   ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.isp.com");
   ini_set("smtp_port", "25");
   ini_set("sendmail_from", [EMAIL PROTECTED]);

  $to  = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
  $subject  = "Enter your subject here";

  $message = "YES IT WORKED @ LONG LAST
                       I can put anything I like here";


  $from  = "FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ";
  mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$from");

  echo "The email has been sent";
?>

Subject: [nyphp-talk] using PHP mail function on Windows server?


Hi everyone --

My current client's app is a PHP 4 site running on a Windows box (don't
ask...I have no idea why).  I'm trying to use the mail() function and
the mail isn't cooperating.

(Two things that I noticed in phpinfo() are that Internal Sendmail
Support for Windows is enabled and the Zend engine is installed.

So maybe I could/should be using another method to send the mails, or
there is a trick that I'm not aware of that I need to use to get this
to work?)

It's not necessarily super high volume but we will be sending a
significant amount of automated emails to registered people on the site.

Thanks for any help...

--Kristina  (completely Uncertified in PHP and Unsure why the mail is
not sending!)
