Jeff, Let's start 'casting around' then. If you've already done these (I may not have read all of your posts) please discuss the results of the following:
1 what happens when you run the script in a browser? 2 with/without the -c and/or -q options, what happens when you run another PHP script from the command line? 3 if PHP is in the PATH, what happens if C:\ is the current directory and you attempt to run PHP (with or without an argument/script filename)? Do you have another PHP script that has sent email/used the mail() function successfully?
