PHP & email

[Anon]

I'm trying to send email using PHP, but the books I've read and online tutorials are so short about it. From what I've gathered I'm supposed to go into the PHP.ini file on the server and take out the semi-colon before the send_mail section:
;send_mail
and then specify a path to the sendmail program. But even then how do I specify which email address I want to send out as, etc? But in any case PHP was installed on my apache server as an apache module so their is no php.ini - now what?

I've heard of a possible smtp_mail() function - anyone know anything?

Any links or advice on getting email to work via PHP would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

If you want to set someone as the sender of an email, you can add the "From:" header when you call the mail() function. Check out the manual.
