My system: Windows XP Apache SMTP server: MailEnable PHP 5.0.2 Whenever I try to use the mail function, it returns me a value of

"false".

My php.ini settings are: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 Here's the function I'm using: <?php

    $r = mail("a_real_email_address@gmail.com", "my subject", "line1")

;

    var_dump($r);

?> This always returns: bool(false) What else do I need to setup in order for this to work??? I can send a regular email through using outlook express. any ideas?

Does Outlook express use a SMTP server on localhost? If not, you need to adjust php.ini to match the SMTP server address used by Outlook express. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
