Mail using PHP

[Anon]

Dear all,

For ASP, the Aspmail software should be installed before PWS can support webmail.

On the other hand, for PHP, after installing Apache Server in my computer under win98, can it run the webmail written by PHP without (or with) additional softwares support?

Yep, php is great for that, for sending mail all you have to do is set up your php.ini file for the mail server you use to send mail through (Just search for the mail settings section) and then just use the mail() function in the scripts when you need to send mail.

For sending and reading mail it's a bit more difficult, you'll have to either download or create a set of classes/functions to handle this, thou again you won't need to actualy install anything just use the scripts. the scripts would just be using php's Sockets to directly communicate with your mail server.

Again it all comes down to what exactly you want to do with it.

I'm glad you are back in the action. I'm sending the court file to your mother, since you are too chicken to even reply to Cory, so have a merry and see you in court!
