mail () Problem.

Hi

Can anyone sort out the mess. I am currently paying for a web service and have had another set up on a diffent machine. One mail() function work the other dosn't. They tell me that it is because I am using the function wrong.

 

---They say ---

This issue is occuring because there is a missing fifth parameter in your mail script. This has always been a requirement of mail scripts on our shared hosting platform but recent updates to our Linux servers (from PHP4 to PHP5) has meant that this is now always required.

----------------

 

W3schools state only the first 3 are required 4 and 5 are optional. I need to have a headder with the email address of the sender.

There sugested script  does not allow for this as in.

 

$res = mail("[email protected]", "Test", "This is amessage ", "From: [email protected]", "[email protected]");

 

Any help on this as this email does work but not if I want the real senders email address in it.

 

Paul.

The sender probably has to be a real account on your domain, since in reality, your script is the sender, which is on your webhost.
