Re: Mail

Here is the section from my PHP.INI [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = alex@localhost.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i'). ;sendmail_path = I presume you mean the SMTP server set in my mail account. That is at my ISP. -- Alex Francis Cameron Design 35, Drumillan Hill Greenock PA16 0XD Tel 01475 798106 afrancis@camerondesign.co.uk http://www.camerondesign.co.uk This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.
