Mail option not working

[Anon]

This is the code:

<?php
$to ="[e-mail]";
$subject = "test1";
$message = "this is a test";

mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo $to;
echo $subject;
echo $message;

?>

This is the response it's getting:

Warning: Unknown error in E:\wmt3_2\bin\client\portal\lev1frmsend.php on line 20
[e-mail]1this is a test

Line 20 is the line beginning with 'mail'.

I'm new to PHP. If anyone could tell why it's behaving this way or how I can go about finding why it's behaving this way I would be grateful.

Kinda hard to say what the problem really is.

what server OS do you use?
you need to have all the smtp stuff configured properly in order to make the mail function work as far as i know.

mail() works, by default, with sendmail. It can be configured to work with others, but it looks to me like the machine you are trying to send from doesn't have a mail server, at least not one that PHP is configured to recognize

Thanks for the reply. I'm running Windows 2000 on IIs. Where could I get information about SMTP from ( this is the first I've heard of it).
