Re: Problems with mail()

I feel the qweston become offtopick soon ;-))))))) 1. Look into permissions of the user you set to run web service 2. Use simple <? print phpinfo(); ?> code to look at real values your php enviroment varibles have. 3. Check [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = < smtp.somewhere.go > ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = < webmaster@email.go > 4. Write code to send mail threw socets, then you'll see targeted server ansver on every your request.
