ToonMariner Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 you only need to assign the $mailsend = mail(.... if you are going to test success or failure later on...but thats a side from your issue for now.Where are you running teh script? (your localmachine or a live server?) what is teh smtp setting in php.ini?

OriginalSunny Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 This is how it is in my php.ini file.[mail function]; For Win32 only.SMTP = localhost; For Win32 only.sendmail_from = [email protected]Is this what i am doing wrong? Is it because SMTP is set to localhost and what should i set it to to be able to send the email??
