mail function

[alfoxy]

Hey all,

What do I need to change in the php.ini file in order to get my local server sending mail through my outlook express ?

Its just a testing server on my PC but I'd like to be able to test my automatic email's aswell.

Thanks

Al

[AFAIK] you need a web-server environment (with mail sending capabilities) in order to use the mail function.

although there may be a way to use outlook express to send mail from a php script, it will not work with the mail() function but you'll have to code something complicated for that (COM object, windows-only).
