what exactly did you paste in your php.ini file ?

[DarkPrince2005]

I also had the problem when setting php.ini file but found that setting it in your code works.

 

<?php
//set the smtp server in the ini file
ini_set('SMTP','smtp.address.here');
//set where the mail is sent from in the ini file
ini_set('send_from','emailaddress@domain.com');

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //send email
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  mail( "youremail@domain.com", "Subject: $subject",
  $message, "From: $email" );
  echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
  }
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo "<form method='post' action='Working.php'>
  Email: <input name='email' type='text'><br>
  Subject: <input name='subject' type='text'><br>
  Message:<br>
  <textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>

//set where the mail is sent from in the ini file
ini_set('send_from','hamzanama@indiatimes.com');

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
//if "email" is filled out, send email
  {
  //send email
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; 
  $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  mail( "hamzanama@indiatimes.com", "Subject: $subject",
  $message, "From: $email" );
  echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
  }
else
//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
  {
  echo "<form method='post' action=''>
  Email: <input name='email' type='text'>
