Re: command line are -c doesn't work on win2k?

This will work from the dir that contains php.exe...... <? mail( "jeff_hamann@hamanndonald.com", "subject", "test" ); ?> here are the php.ini smtp lines... [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = stimpy - this works fine as does SMTP = 192.168.0.2 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = jeff_hamann@hamanndonald.com I don't see how this could be a config problem. The emails I have been sending state that the script works *fine* from the same dir as php.exe. The problem arises when I attempt to run the script from another directory...
