Little help needed with php mail

[Gruzin]

hi guys I'am trying to write a simple php mail script, but it doesn't actually send the mail... I don't know, maybe someone will explain it to me. Thanks for your time. Here is the code:

[code]
<?php
$to = $_POST['mail'];
$subject = $_POST['sub'];
$message = $_POST['mes'];

$to = stripslashes($to);
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$message = stripslashes($message);

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: You<you@yoursite.com>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()) or die("Unable to send mail");
echo "Your email was sent successfuly";
?>
[/code]

The mail() function within PHP relies on the PHP install knowing where sendmail is on your system at compile time.

If you use phpinfo() to get information about your install and then look for the values [b]sendmail_from[/b] and [b]sendmail_path[/b] under the 'PHP Core' information.

If these values are propgated then you're off to a good start.

I've done it, here it is:

[color=red]sendmail_from me@localhost.com me@localhost.com
sendmail_path /bin/sendmail -t -i -f'postmaster@3d.caucasus.net' /bin/sendmail -t -i -f'CN_Webhosting' [/color]

so whats the problem? thanks for your answer.

Bad news is I've tried this code and it works fine, as expected.

So maybe your problem is with the PHP/Sendmail setup somewhere.  Do you know enough about sendmail to send yourself a test using sendmail to check that it's working?

When you are using Windows, the following must be defined in your PHP.INI

[code]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.yourprovider.xx
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = your_emailid@your_provider.xx[/code]

You SMTP must define your real mail provider and not localhost.xxx unless you run a mailserver yourself.

I don't think he's running a windows server.
