Warning: Failed to Connect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\web\input.php on line 44 that line points to the mail function, which is as follows: "mail ("blah@blah.com", "Website Feedback Email", $message, $extra);" that addy is a dummy one, i used a proper one, and i've tried that same line with hardcoded variables, can anybody see the problem? would it be a webserver or php issue? *confused* thankyou. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20618 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20618 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20618
