note 86360 added to book.mail

What "Some Guy" stated is true (for my case at least). I am running WinXP Pro, IIS5, PHP5. To test PHP's mail function, I utilized the below code that "dev at realynospamspcweb dot nl" posted (the code that they stated worked for them without errors). <?php $Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name $email = "email@adress.com"; //senders e-mail adress $recipient = "PersonWhoGetsIt@emailadress.com"; //recipient $mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body $subject = "Subject for reviever"; //subject $header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header); //mail command :) ?> This (the above code) did not work for me. But after utilizing "Some Guy's" tip and making the below modification, it did. Thank you "Some Guy". <?php $Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name $email = "email@adress.com"; //senders e-mail adress $recipient = "PersonWhoGetsIt@emailadress.com"; //recipient $mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body $subject = "Subject for reviever"; //subject $header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields ini_set('sendmail_from', 'me@domain.com'); //Suggested by "Some Guy" mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header); //mail command :) ?> Now this code worked for me. It might be of interest that I did not need to modify any of the default "php.ini" settings...
