Email and PHP

[Anon]

I apoligize in advance for the simplicity of the question. I am just learning PHP but i do want to learn!!!

I was trying to test php to send a simple email...then i was going to tie to MYSQL to mail a newsletter. I did a phpinfo on my server and it returned this...
PHP Version 4.0.3pl1
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
for local value..

I then wrote the simplest of emails to test
<?
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Test of Mail in PHP";
$msg = "I Hope this works";
$headers = "From: [e-mail]\nReply-To: [e-mail]";
$config = "[e-mail]";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$msg", "$headers", "$config");
echo "finished!";
?>

When i ran it... I got this message
Warning: Wrong parameter count for mail() in /usr/local/apache/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpsdocs/KPImailtest.php on line 7
finished!

I can find no doumentation that tells me what the -t and -i parameters mean in my host but i expect that tells me why i am in error.

Can someone explain or point me to a resource that explains the parameters to sendmail. I am retired and again apoligize in advance for the simplicity of the question. Regards, Michael

I'm not sure what your $config entry is for...

the mail() function should just work like:

mail"$mailto",
"$mailsubject",
"$mailbody",
"From: $mailfrom\r\nReply-to: $mailfrom\r\nCc: $mailcc\r\nBcc: $mailbcc"); }

There are only 4 variables needed for the mail() function, so lose the $config part and it should work.

Note that the Cc & Bcc parts are optional.

Good luck ;]

try it without giving $config as a parameter
