Warning: Server Error in file:\\name\

Anon

When i try to run my php file, the following error comes:
Warning: Server Error in file:\name\mail.php on line 2

On line 2 there is a mail function, mail($to,$header,$body); the code is not wrong i m 100 percent sure. If i run the same code in other server it runs very well but it don't in my server. I am sure that there is some thing wrong in php.ini file.

If anyone have idea about this,
please suggest me.
I would be very thankful to u all.

one word:

headers.

it has nothing to do with the configuration .. try sending the same mail with no headers and i bet it works

the headers are VERY picky in win32 land .. i have code that works fine on unix and then dies on windows .. very frustrating

some headers (not all, it seems) will need to end with CRLF and not just LF as unix likes them

hope this helps

i have also had this same error if you use a LF without a preceding CR in the body of the email message also .. so, now that i think of it, it is possible that this same rule applies to the body of the message too

of course, conversely, i have heard people complain about certain unix mailers having trouble with CR characters .. but i think that it is actually more "correct"[1] to use CRLF

I get this sometimes, but it is due to the fact I don't run a mail server on my local machine. It works okay when files are on the production server as it does have a mail server.

This is my current machine configureation.
Windows XP
Apache Server
PHP 4.2
SMTP running on localhost

I have tried mading the php.ini to use a remote smtp server and i have tried useing the localhost smtp server. I have tried useing the mail function with headers and without. Saved the file in UNIX format and windows. i still get this error no matter what i do.

You might ask why i am running windows XP. I am running software on that machine that runs better on windows XP than any other OS so don't knock it.
