Re: Problem with mail function

Don't know anything about ole 30 second timeout... what does it do?

Sounds like others have the same problem. mail() is a php weakness??? -- Faye Keesic Computer Programmer Analyst/Web Page Design >> From: ted@php.net >> Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 09:51:54 -0800 (PST) >> To: Faye Keesic <fkeesic@fortfrances.com> >> Cc: php-db@lists.php.net >> Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with mail function >> >> Is it the ole 30-second timeout thang?
