mail() problem on local testing
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:05 am
Hi all,
I can't seem to find anything relating to my particular problem, so I'll tack a chance and ask here. This seems to be a pretty active forum, so maybe I'll find an answer.
I have my WinXP system finaly setup so I can test locally and everything seems to work fine, except the mail() function doesn't seem to do anything at all. I get no errors at all, either in the script or from Windows. I just simply don't see any mail going out and I never receive the email that should be sent back to me durring testing. The script works fine in the online version, so I've tried to duplicate that environment locally, for testing purposes. I've double checked my phpinfo() both locally and online, and besides the fact that their PHP Server API is CGI and my local copy is Apache and they're on a Linux system where I'm on a Windows system, I don't see any major differences in the PHP.ini settings.
Is there something I can configure locally to force an email to actually be sent instead of going off into cyberland never to be heard from again? I should mention too, the local copy of the web is a subweb under localhost. The online version is a subweb under a domain. My local copy of phpinfo() says "Internal Sendmail Support for Windwos = enabled"
Here's my setup:
WinXP Pro (all updates and patches)
FP2002 w/2002 server extentions
Apache v1.3.29 (Win32)
PHP v4.3.4
MySQL v4.0.17
phpMyAdmin v2.5.5-pl1
Web is published using FP to c:\web\www\subwebname which is served by Apache. Everything works fine, except mail(). What am I overlooking?
TIA,
Thumbs
