use ini_set() to set your email SMTP server

ini_set(SMTP, "my.server.com");

[vintagestars]

yes, but where should i place it?

[Velausanakha]

anywhere prior to the mail being sent theoretically

but in practice, it is best to set with the rest of your variables, so probably at the start of your script straight after the

<?

[vintagestars]

still doesn't send the email 😕
