Note Submitter: m_alim at hotmail dot co dot uk ---- HELP!!! i am having this error when using register.php Notice: Undefined variable: message in \\NAS43ENT\domains\t\thevineandspice.co.uk\user\htdocs\register.php on line 46 Notice: Undefined variable: forename in \\NAS43ENT\domains\t\thevineandspice.co.uk\user\htdocs\register.php on line 46 Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in \\NAS43ENT\domains\t\thevineandspice.co.uk\user\htdocs\register.php on line 46 *********** my register.php <?php /***************************************************\ * PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script.

This includes the email this is // sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email // should be. It's a good idea to choose your own // subject instead of allowing the user to.
