Reported By: dansixus at yahoo dot com
Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Mail related
Operating System: Windows XP Pro.
PHP Version: 4.1.1
New Comment:
Running the code below, $success is false. I do not know why the mail()
function is not working. No other error messages appear on the screen.
<?php
$to = "heyianring@hotmail.com";
$subject = "this is a test";
$body = "hi, \n I'm so glad you received this";
$success = mail($to,$subject,$body);
?>
<P>
<?php
if($success){
print("mail was sent");
}else{
print("mail was NOT sent");
}
?>

Check your SMTP settings. Probably the mailserver refuses your message.
Check if authentication is needed and more like that.

The mail() function does not seem to work. I am getting this error:
Warning: Unknown error in c:\apache\htdocs\auctions\mailtest.php on
line 2
Mailtest.php contains the following:
<?php
mail("dansixus@yahoo.com", "PHP Mail test", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
?>
My PHP.ini mail function settings seem to be ok too:
SMTP: mail.keyworld.net
sendmail_from = dansixus@yahoo.com
I am using PHP 4.1.1 under apache. Other PHP scripts work fine but this
mail function does not work.
Please help me fix this problem
