error with mail()

[Anon]

hi,

i get the following error:

Warning: Failed to Connect in C:\Programme\Apache\Apache\htdocs/php2email/index.php3 on line 17

My Code (i copied it from an article on phpbuilder.com) looks like that:

<?php
if($submit)
{
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,'FROM: '.$sender);
}

?>

the line starting with "mail" is line 17.

maybe i'm just dumb, but i have no idea why it doesn't work.

thx.phlow

probably your mailserver is not configured correctly. PHP looks for the local mailserver AFAIK and if it can't find it, it produces this error.

(it looks strange to me that it has a couple of \ and a couple of /, but I am not used to running apache in windows so it could be normal)
