Just wondering if there's a clear screen function in PHP like the
clrscr()
in 'C'.
[/snip]

If you are running PHP from the command line on a *nix or BSD box you
could...

exec(clear);

HTH!

Are you trying to test whether mail() returned true?

if (mail(values)){
do this
}
else {
error
}

(Keeping in mind that when mail() returns true, it's not saying whether the 
mail really reached the destination server, only that it the function 
executed successfully.)

Like most functions in PHP, mail() returns a value - boolean according to 
the manual. So you could do something like

$mail = mail(values);
if ($mail){
 do this
}
else {
 error
}

But as has been pointed out above, a return of TRUE only means that 
mail() has handed the data off to something else, which something else 
may or may not succeed in sending the message.
