Re: need some ideas here...

what??? I didn't understand... how will I find out where sendmail is in a free-web-host? I don't have telnet access... how can I figure that out? and how a .htaccess file would help me here? At 19:50 14/5/2001 -0500, Ethan Schroeder wrote:

My free-web-hosting (www.f2s.com) does not allow PHP to send emails... I've tried everything... the mail() function, my alternate function which calls popen("/usr/lib/sendmail -t") and even a script.cgi with '#!/usr/bin/php' and all that stuff... the mail simply won't go an mail() always returns false... I'm guessing there's no mail sending in this server... so what do I do? is it possible for me to call a script on another host from with a script and return something to it? like <?php code ... code ... code...; code ... code ... code...; here I'd have some code to call a script in another host that can send mails, of course with the necessary parms...; code code code....; code code code....; ?> ____________________________ .
