Question re: mail()

wdglide

After having trouble setting up a mail form with my hosting service (which says it supports php4), I set up a test page to check whether the mail() worked.

Is there anything wrong with the page below. When I call it, should it not send an email to me?

</body>

according to phpinfo() (I replaced host's real name with <myhost>):

sendmail_from - webmaster@<myhost>.com - webmaster@<myhost>.com

sendmail_path - no value - no value

SMTP - mail.<myhost>.com - mail.<myhost>.com

Internal Sendmail Support for Windows 4 - enabled

This seems to tell me that it is set to use SMTP only, but that should not effect the usage of mail() - correct?

Phil,

Try this:

$mailto = "your_email@address.com";
$mailSubject = "Test";
$mailHeaders = "From: me@myself.com";
$mailBody = "Testing";

mail($mailto, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHeaders);

Hope this helps!
