Re: Sendmail...

Ross, > Hmm... that didn't work for me when I tried it. It was the 1st thing I > tried. I kept getting "Server error" on the PHP page when I ran it. =yes I must admit I couldn't see any particular difference. If it helps I'll send the whole .ini file to your private address (but you'd still have to edit it). Have you tried tracking the error back through the Apache documentation? There's an article by Richard Heyes (who sometimes appears here) about using his email classes to email-enable PHP. I used a lot of his advice/setups to get started. I wonder if there's something in there... > I'll certainly try it again. =ok, let us know. > It won't be clara I use anyway but I do know the server address from > Outlook etc. and it just didn't seem to work.
