@mail?

[fleabay]

I have a line in a prebuilt script that reads
@mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $from);
and it causes my browser to hang when reached

can u tell me what the @ is for and what possible causes for it to hang the browser.

my server sends and recieves email fine and the variables are filled.
using redhat 8.0

Thanks,
Wayne

@ is a php option that tells PHP NOT to send an error message on failure.

@fopen -- Don't send the "WARNING Failed to open file in index.php line 5"

etc.

Comment out the @ == just use mail(

you can get a clue then if you get an error message.

My guess is that this prebuilt script has a sendmail server parameter that you should look for. Set it to your server's sendmail address.
