RE: Win32 PHP, Apache Web Server, and Mail

Hi. I had the same problem. All the settings were right but the mail() function still didn't worked. Finally I used a SMTP server on my machine. If the SMTP server is on the same machine as the web server (apache in my case) the mail() function works fine. If somebody has another solution for this problem, I, also be glad to hear it. >Dear Friends, >I have tried to be as specific I could according to the little knowledge I >have in PHP, I have some problem to completing the task, I have read as much >I could about that and having the same problem Adrian Gould have, to the >exception that Apache run.
