PHP and the MS Windows platform

[dcjones]

Hi all.

I have an issue with a web site I look after which is sitting on a MS Windows web server.

The site has recently been transferred from a Linux server running Apache.

The web site has two forms which call a PHP script which in tutn send the form content as email using the PHP mail() function.

Since moving t the MS Windows server the forms do not appear to send. My question is; should they work without any re-scripting or do I need to produce new scripts in ASP format.

Any advice would be great.

There seems to be a bug under windows. You can get it to work by calling:

ini_set('sendmail_from', '[e-mail]);

before calling mail().

Also note that PHP has to be correctly configured to send mail on the Windows server (e.g. the "SMTP" directive points to a host, be it localhost or another server, that is running an SMTP server).

More information (e.g. the PHP error message from your error logs) is needed to point to the exact cause of the problem.
