Hello, Read the manual page for the mail() function ... http://www.php.net/mail Mail() requires an operating SMTP server. This can be set in php.ini, and possibly via the ini_set() function. These might be worth looking into: $config1=ini_set(sendmail_path,"/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"); $config2=ini_set(SMTP,"localhost"); $config3=ini_set(smtp_port,25); If you absolutely can't run an SMTP server or use a remote server, you'd probably have to hack something together with sockets or streams.
