Re: Re: Problems with mail()

Hi, First of all, thanks for the suggestions. My problem is 'almost' solved. I have succeeded sending an e-mail with the mail function. The problem was in the php.ini file. I had limited the execution of phpinfo() and system() commands. If I enable both commands, the mail() function works fine. The problem is that I would like to have both functions limited. PHP is installed in a multiuser environment and there's a lot of information available with phpinfo(). Is it possible to make mail() work with phpinfo() and system() disabled? If that's not possible, how can I limit the information phpinfo() gives -ideally it should give no information-. Thanks, Juanan Vladimir Galkov wrote:

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.

Hi, I'm new to php. I have downloaded and installed PHP 4.3.0 on a Windows NT 4.0 server. I have tested the configuration and changed the parameters in php.ini to fit my environment. The basic code works fine, but one of the things I'd like to do is to send mails. I have found the sample code and tested the following : mail("juanan.martinez@uab.es", "test", "This is a test!","From: juanan.martinez@uab.es") But when I run this code, I get the following error: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in d:\www\mail.php on line 9 In fact, the sendmail_from is configured in the php.ini file (in the windows directory), and also forced in the line above (I have tried also without the "From:..." but it does neither work) . The smtp server is in a remote machine, and in fact, no connection is made from the php script (I have looked through the logs and there has been no attempt to connect) Does anyone know where is the problem? Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks in advance, Juanan
