creating activation email

[swirlee]

Yes, that sounds like a fairly standard implementation.

it looks ok but you need to use single quotes in the text or slashes because you start a parameter string with " and then have " in the body message..

That will send the mail... however you might need to set up some things in PHP.ini to make it work.. sendmail parameters (if any) for *nix systems OR

; For Win32 only.
SMTP = host here
smtp_port = port here (25 is default)
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@domain.com

ofcourse... if you have an email server on localhost.. otherwise use this one:
smtp.bredband.net on port 25

well thats not a really smart hehe..

Sorry for the delay: had no time to look at the forum...

Anyway: nice that you've sorted it out

Howdy,

I'm still receiving an error similar to the one stated above:
Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\xxxxxxxxx\register.php on line 725

Line 725 is:
mail($emailAddress, $subject, $message, "From: XXXXXXX<admin@xxxx.com.au>\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

My PHP.ini file is set up as follows:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.xxxxx.com.au
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = martyf@xxxxxxxxxxx.com.au

Are you able to help out with this problem at all?

Cheers,
Marty
