Sounds like you don't have a mail server running on localhost at port 25.

If you do have a mail server running, then it seems to me that you should verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\page.php on line 24. Just paraphrasing here.

cheers,

Hello,
I was browsing your site and came across the mail() PHP function. I tryed it out:


<?php
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
?>

[EMAIL PROTECTED] is my e-mail adress, obviously enough..
The problem is, the e-mail doesn't get sent.
A warning appears on the page:

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\page.php on line 24

What is this all about?  Why wont it work?
Thanks you very much

If this is not the right place to send a question, please tell me where that right place would be :)
