[swethak]

hi,

i used mail function in my local system.In that i didn't get any errors and mail didn't receive.And in my php.ini consists

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

at the time of installation of php it asks the smtp and from address.And i give as smtp=localhost and from address as [e-mail]

And my php code is

[php]
<?php
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "[e-mail]";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
[/php]

SMTP=localhost

use that if you have a running mail server installed on the computer/server that hosts your script.

if you're just testing at home, use the smtp of your isp.
