In the 'php.ini' version 4 file for Windows 98 running via the Apache server, I can get the mail() function to work fine BUT it seems to vary with ISP's!!!
For example, I have one ISP that does not require password authorization and another that does. These are each big-named (major) ISP's.
For the ISP that does not require password authorization, all I have to do is add the ISP's 'SMTP' and 'sendmail_from' info.
For the ISP that requires password authorization, mail cannot be sent because a login into the server cannot be established (note: no error message is generated; it just appears that it is trying to connect; also, this was confirmed with the ISP).
How can the php.ini file be revised to include a variable to accept a password for the mail function such that all ISP's work with this setup?
[mail function]
SMTP = ; for win32 only
sendmail_from = ;for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ; for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is sendmail -t)
Thanx.
