ROCKINDANO Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hey does anybody knows if i need some kind of setting set with our host or on the webserver to use the mail() function?

ignace Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Do i need to set a setting or change a setting in the php.ini file? You can use ini_set('sendmail_from', $from); or the better option: $headers = "From: $from\r\nReply-To: $from\r\n"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172141-solved-using-the-mail/#findComment-907668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
