RE: [PHP-GENERAL] mail()

You can check the manual for the details at http://www.php.net/quickref.php (mailto) My understanding is that the mailto function will return a zero (0) is it did not send the message, or true (any positive number) if it sent the message. It will not retry again. andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Dominiq Callewaert [mailto:gsm@wetnet.com] > Sent: Monday, June 19, 2000 12:35 PM > To: PHP List > Subject: [PHP-GENERAL] mail() > > > hello all, > > I'm very new to php and the list, servers in general in fact... > and I was wondering about the following: (maybe considered OT ?) > > if I put a form on a website that allows the visitor to enter a 'sendto' > emailaddress and also a 'from' address, > then I can use mail() in php to do the actual sending... > but what happens if 2 bogus addresses are submitted? > isn't there gonna be any infinite loop between my server and 'anywhere' > because of 'not able to reach' type messages? > and I'd rather not try it out :-) > > (as you can see I AM new to this :-), but there's nothing about it in the > phpmanual mail() description (not that there should) and I have > a deadline > that's closer than I would like...) > > cheers, dominiq > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
