email cannot be sent
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2004 11:19 pm
I tried using mail() to send testing mail messages to my own email account in Yahoo, not going anywhere.
What are the necessary steps before I can use mail()?
1. Do i need to install a mail server on my local host? if yes is it a SMTP server? Can I use Xmail?
2. What do I need to do in my php.ini? the current settings are (I'm running my apache server on Win XP.)
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
need some help..
[/list]
