mail() function help!

[Abersparky]

Can someone help me with the mail() function???
The below is just to get myself going but I can't seem to get it
working... is there something else I should be doing? I checked
phpinfo() and the sendmail values are below. Those mean it's turn on
right?

sendmail_from
[e-mail]

sendmail_path
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

My code is as follows:

mail ('a*********@gmail.com', 'New Comment Submitted for Approval',
'Approval informational');

THANKS!!!

My code is as follows:

mail ('ab********@gmail.com', 'New Comment Submitted for Approval',
'Approval informational');

Try:
$to = 'ab********@gmail.com';
$subject = 'New Comment Submitted for Approval';
$message = 'Approval informational';
$headers = '';
$params = '';

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $params)) {
echo 'No problem in mail function';
} else {
echo 'Oops, mail function problem';
}

If it is not a mail function problem it may be that gmail is filtering it
out as possible spam. Try:

$params = '-f<insert a known real sender email address here>';

See:
http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
and search for specific gmail issues.
