Help needed in configuring the php.ini file for mail

[aravind_v21]

HI, I am new to PHP nad I need help in configuring my setup file to use the mail() function. I have this form and have in a remote server. Now i need to send in the values of the form in a mail to many people. What are the settings that I should change in the .ini file in order to get it going? I used a simple mail script and it always returns error. I am posting the script below.

<?php
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body))
{
echo("Message successfully sent!");
}
else
{
echo("Message delivery failed...");
}
?>

Would really appreicate if any one would help me.

Before confronting your ini file, try a quick test, by adding a FROM line in your mail script:

<?php
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
// from
$from = "From: $to";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $from)){ 
	echo("Message successfully sent!");
}
else{
	echo("Message delivery failed...");
}
?>

If this doesn't work, let me know.
