f%$#ing mail()!

[NCS]

OK, I'm doing my head in.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what's wrong here???

$subject = "NightCam Studios Site Update\r\n";
$message = "NightCam Studios is pleased to inform you that the site has recently been updated.\r\n\r\nVisit us at [url]http://www.nightcam-studios.com[/url]\r\n\r\nNightCam Studios Support\r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: [email][e-mail][/email]\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: [email][e-mail][/email]\r\n";
for($count = 0; $count < $records; $count++)
{
	$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
	$email = stripslashes($row[0]);
?>
	<font face="Arial" size="2">Sending mail to: <b><?=$email?></b>...</font>
<?
	if(mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers))
	{
?>
	<font face="Arial" size="2" color="#008000"><b>OK</font></font>
<?
	}
	else
	{
?>
	<font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FF0000"><b>FAILED</b></font>
<?
	}
?>

When I load the web page all I get is this...

Sending mail to: [e-mail]...
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in P:\Apache2\htdocs\admin\channel_0\mail.php on line 32
FAILED

My php.ini is set up correct even though it shouldn't be using it because of the overrides in the mail() call.

I have tried putting stuff in quotes, using \"XXX\", tried third party functions which reportedly function on Win32 OS (I'm using WinXP Pro BTW and Apache 2.044).

I don't have any fingernails OR hair left! It's driving me damn nuts!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - someone help me out here - I don't want to have to resort to Perl!

Thanks

Chris.

Actually that error looks kinda like the error you get when you dont have mail() configured to work.

[NCS]

Well, I think planetsim is right. I copied your code, inserted (overwrote) it and still got the same error. So the next question, how on earth do I set up mail()?

I must admit, when I did a check on my system I couldn't find a "mail" program so I was wondering where do I get one?
