Hi

I canīt make my mail function work. I ran this text, saved as mail.php:
<?php
echo "<body>";
mail ("christian_hewitt@hotmail.com", "Subject", "Hello!");
echo "Sending mail...";
echo "</body>";
?>

and I got this error:
Warning: Failed to Receive in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mail.php on line 5
Sending mail...

any ideas what is wrong, Iīm running win XP pro
thanks
CS

What is the SMTP server for your php.ini file?
If you can't get that working, try the PEAR mail classes or PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/). PHPMailer lets you connect to an external SMTP server and do all kinds of fun things...
