I don't know what i'm doing wrong...

[VBSteve]

I've been trying to get the mail function to work for several days now and i always get the same message:

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in d:\server_applications\root\http\t1.php on line 6

Although sendmail_from is set and the "From" header is set also...
And i'm running my own SMTP server (localhost)

This is what i have in my php.ini:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = system@jpstuff.servehttp.com


This is what i have in my source code:
<?php
echo "test: Start sending mail";
$address = "admin@jpstuff.servehttp.com";
$subject = "test - Subject line";
$body = "Mail body";
$mailsend = mail("$address","$subject", "$body", "system@jpstuff.servehttp.com");
print ("$mailsend");
echo "done";
?>


Anyone has a sollution for this problem?
Thanks.

Try this:
<?php
echo "test: Start sending mail";
$address = "admin@jpstuff.servehttp.com";
$subject = "test - Subject line";
$body = "Mail body";
mail($address,$subject, $body, "From: Automated Mailer <system@jpstuff.servehttp.com>");
echo "done";
?>

It didn't work. I still get the same warning message

[bezmond]

in php.ini, try: sendmail_from = "system@jpstuff.servehttp.com"

It didn't work either.

But i reinstalled PHP with and the problem seems to be solved.
Thanks!
