Trying to send mail from PHP with SMTP ?

Hi, I am trying to run a PHP script whose code is given below. It will open a socket to a SMTP server and send email. But this code not able to send email. But it executes ! SMTP commands seem to be right. ------------------------------------------ $from = "MAIL FROM:<abc@pqr.com>"; $to = "MAIL TO:<mgandhi@bhartitelesoft.com>"; $from = htmlspecialchars($from); $to = htmlspecialchars($to); $mesg = "Just a test message"; $fp = fsockopen("smtpserver",25); if(!$fp) { echo htmlspecialchars("$errstr ($errno)<br>\n"); } else { fputs($fp,"HELO mailserver"); fputs($fp,$from); fputs($fp,$to); fputs($fp,"DATA"); fputs($fp,$mesg); fputs($fp,"QUIT"); } ------------------------------------------- I know mail() function of PHP can do this. But I am unable to work it the above way. Waiting for help ! regds -mukul -------------------------------------------------------------- Bharti Cellular Limited, New Delhi, India
