SMTP and POP servers are used to send and receive mails. In most of the
cases, people use SMTP and POP for mail.
As I said before, you can use smtp from your provider, or install you own
mail server, which will then give you your own SMTP and POP servers. so in
php.ini you should then type in you IP address...
Hope this helps... : )
Cheers,
Alex

OK, let me first explain how smtp works (as Aerosmtih would say: you have to
learn to crawl, before you learn to walk...):
when you compose your message in PHP it is beeing passed to the SMTP server
that is defined in php.ini. SMTP shall then pass the message to the
recepient.
As far as I understand, you do not have internet provider (just simple ADSL
line). You are using Hotmail, so your netscape configuration is refering to
these SMTP and POP servers (search in netscape under accounts to se which
servers are they exactly).
However, I do not know if Hotmail will allow you to send message from PHP
(as far as I know you must provide them with username and pass...!? some1
correct me if I am wrong!).
So, as I said earlier, you have to gain access to some smtp server. That can
be done by registering by some local ISP. They will provide you then with
their SMTP and POP server, OR installing one on your machine!

No, there is always an solution : )
You could apply for the account at some ISP so that you could use their mail
services.
Or, check on the web for mail servers and install one.
I have also XP with PHP/MySQL and also my own DNS and MAIL server... Ans as
you can read my mail know, it seems it is working all well : )
Cheers,
Alex

the best thing to do then is to install your own mail server. There plenty
of them on the markt. Most of them come with 15-30 day free trial, so you
don't have to spend money on sth you don't like...

Interesting,
This makes me wonder if it is just as easy to send an email containing
the results of some computation. Either an attached file or inline.
Would you have to read the content of the file into a variable and send
it as the body or can it simply be attached easily?
Kind regards,
Mike (just learning PHP)

If you would like to send any data as a file attached to a message, you
may want to try this class for composing and sending MIME messages that
lets you do that easily:

krizz,
Apache is a web server. What you need is an SMTP (outbound email) server.
Check the PHP.INI. There are two settings to make. One of them should be the
same email server that you use for sending email from Outlook Express.
