problem when sending mail

[scott john]

Hello

Im trying to send a mail from a php-program. Im using a test program and the
code for this is as follows:

<?php
$from = [e-mail]";
$subject = "Test";
$to = 'm**@myaddress.com;
$mailbody = 'mailbody';
mail($to,$subject,$message,$from);
?>

When I run the page/program I get the following error msg displayed:
"Warning: Failed to Connect in G:\home\server\users\me.com\cgi-bin\send.php
on line 5"

The mail is not delivered. I also tried with <> before and after the value
in the $form. And, of course, the addresses are really ones and both are
presents on the server. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Have you defined an SMTP server in php.ini ?

Additionally, the $from variable must be a valid header, so change it to:

$from = "From: [e-mail]";

You may also need to check which version of PHP you're using, since this header may not be honoured
in your version.

Also, close your quotes for the "to" line:

$to = 'm**@myaddress.com';

not

$to = 'm**@myaddress.com;

Hello,

I m developing a site which is located on a webhotell. Im testing my
programs using ftp. If I run a page with phpinfo() then I can seee that
there is a file named php.ini. Its on C:/. My site is on G, so I dont th8ink
I can access that information or edit that file. What do you think?
Additionally, the $from variable must be a valid header, so change it to:
$from = "From: [e-mail]";
I changed this, without any result You may also need to check which version of PHP you're using, since this header may not be honoured in your version.

Checked this too. The version in use is the last one
