im just trying to send mail by using a very simple php function mail() but it is not working.the format is $to = "email@example.com"; $subject = "Hi!"; $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?"; if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) { echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>"); } else { echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>"); } I think there is something wrong with php.ini setting..maybe something to do with SMTP settings.. i want to send email FROM either hotmail , gmail , or yahoo or any other web based email because i dont know my ISP smtp setting..so can anyone please help me , where to make change and what to make change ?
I've used the mail function quite alot on external hosts and its worked fine. When i tried to run this script on my localhost i got an error saying i needed to configure my php.ini settings for the FROM address but im not confident with playing with .ini settings and such so i left that be.
If you want to send an email and have the FROM address be anything specific you an use the headers variable in the mail() function.
now when the mail is received the from address will be FROMaddress@whatever.com. The only problem is if sending to a hotmail user, or possibly some other email accounts, but particularly in hotmail the email provider will notcie the diferene in domains, eg sending the email from subdomain.trap17.com but having the FROM address as me@host.com hotmail will notice the differences and alert the user that the sender cannot be verified. If however your website was me.myhost and the FROM address was notme@myhost there would be no problem. I hope that helped with changing the FROM address. Sorry I cant help much about the problem with it not working though.
NOTE: it seems by editing this line
QUOTE
; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me@example.com
in your .ini file you can permanently set the FROM address without using the $headers method. Although i suspect this will still have the problems with verifying the sender's ID.
EDIT: Is there an error display when you try to use the mail function that is outputted to the browser? if there is could you post it and maybe it will help someone to see whats going on.

I've got a bunch of arrays that i want to use for more then 1 function. when i declear the
arrays outside a function i cant use it in a function. This code was originally written in
javascript by another person but since I plan to use it and extend it with php I had to change it
from javascript to php code. In the javascript code the arrays were decleared outside the functions
with 'var arrayname' I read somewhere that declearing javascript variables with
'var' gives it global access. Any ideas on how I can go about declearing 1 set of these

I'm asking because I often see so many books told me to use mail() feely, but I don't really

my website had not have this function yet, but I'm trying to, because it's necessary

A lot of free web hosts have disabled the mail() function so you cannot send emails using PHP. Does
anybody know of a script that makes a function "like" mail but is able to be installed in a web
accessible directory and called included into another script and called like that? Or maybe you know
how to make such a function? I just really need to find a way around the free hosts turning of the
mail() function. I need to figure out a way to send emails.....
I just learned this simple method on how to use functions to combine two values from a form. First

<?php $nick = $_POST['nickname']; $location =
$_POST['location' ....
Header function Greetings we are going to use the header() funtion to redirect start making a
file called page.php at the top of the file add CODE <?php ?> Example 1 After

CODE header('Location: index.php'); Example 3 you also can add a timer to
it /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt=....

The extract() function is used in PHP to take an array and split it up into variables. MySQL
queries can be parsed this way. Below is an example. CODE $query =
mysql_query("select username, password from users where uid=1"); $result =
mysql_fetch_array($query, mysql_assoc); extract($result); print "Your
username is : $username"; The extract() function works for ANY array, including
$_POST, and $_GET. Makes processing form data a LOT easier /biggrin.gif"
