Re: mail function problem

changing the value in the php.ini file is not the ideal option, as it screws things up for all of users/scripts on the server. you could use ini_set() for the script to change the sendmail_path var for that script. you could use a mail class that does alot of the grunt work for you (Manuel Lemos normally posts some classes from his site, however I use PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net) and have never looked back.
