Hi,

What do you mean how can I use mail() with php4 on my Win98?!! The same as you're using it on the web. Nothing changes. If you can execute php everything shold suppossed to work just fine. Hope you have a sendmail (something to sand mail)installed a/o enabled for it too. Blat should be just fine knowing that you're a MS user. Linux is simpler to deal with. It's in by default. ;-))))

Hi,

as far as I know, you have to set SMTP in php.ini to the host which runs the mail daemon. From the manual:
SMTP string
DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP under Windows should use for mail sent with the mail() function.

sendmail_from string
Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under Windows.

Good luck
