email confirmation

Post by TimberWolf »

How can I get email confirmation working? People registered to join and they never get their email confirmations. Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

Well, it would help to see what you've got right now. It should be a simple case of using
їcode]mail($address,$subject,$body);ї/code]

Well, it would likely be in your program... Are you using something you've written yourself, or a pre-packaged thing?

are they running off a Windows server? Did you configure the mail settings in the control panel(s) ? Maybe you should check the documentation for both products..

phpbb has a link at the bottom of most pages "Go to Administration Panel" .. this link will only show if you are logged in as an Administrator.

I am unsure about PHPNuke, but I'd imagine it's very similar.

you don't look at any time, it's set from the admin panel... or you can set it in the backend on the database.. in the config table of phpbb's database.
