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

Thanks
James

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]

what are you using? You're not very helpful... :?

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

I use PHP Nuke and PHPBB.

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..

I am new to PHP. Where can I see the mail settings in the control panel? I set up PHP with MYSQL and Abyss Web Server.

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.

This site is currently configured to not send an email confirmation.

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.
