The mail() function works fine. $email must be set to you email program, NOT an email server. Should be something like "/bin/sendmail". If you don't have access to this function, then you cannot send mail.

So where would the To: address go if not $email? I thought the proper syntax was: mail(Email_Address_of_Recipient, Title_of_Email, Body_of_Email, Headers); Kevin
