Runing script on different server

[fasan]

Hi,

The problem is that the mail()-function does not work properly on one server, therefore I want to call the mail()-function on another server. Is it possible to call a function on another server without opening a browser window? Or is there a different smart way to do this?

Thanks.

simply make the form call the mail script on the other server and POST the data to it....

nothing more difficult than that...

The email addresses are located in a file. Can I do it without using forms - I don't what the user to see that I'm calling a function on a differet server.

Here is a snip from the script:

while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = fgets($fp,1024);
$member = explode(';',$line);
mail($member[3],"subject","message");
}

Can I call the mail function on a different server using a similar script.

no, you have to call the page on that server....
PHP is serverside.....

worst case you could read the RFC for SMTP and use PHP sockets to connect to a SMTP server manually and send the mails...
