Please include the list when replying. And please don't top-post, it makes proper quoting difficult.

[PHP] PHP mail() function. Help please...
I'm reading J.Meloni's tutorial on page 119 in Fast and Easy and she is explaining using the PHP mail function. There are two scripts for this example... One is the .html file which lays out the form with input boxes, a textarea box and a submit button. It is: HTML HEAD TITLE Simple Feedback Form /TITLE /HEAD BODY FORM METHOD=post ACTION=send_simpleform.php P strong Your name: /strong br INPUT TYPE=text NAME=sender_name SIZE=30/P P strong Your e-mail address: /strong br INPUT TYPE=text NAME=sender_email SIZE=30/P P strong Your message: /strong br TEXTAREA NAME =message COLS=30 ROWS=5 WRAP=virtual/TEXTAREA/P P INPUT TYPE=submit NAME= submit VALUE=Send this form /P /FORM /BODY /HTML The next is the PHP script which reads as follows: ? $msg=This e-mail is being sent from www site\n; $msg.=Sender's name: \t$sender_name\n; $msg.=Sender's e-mail:\t$sender_email\n; $msg.=Message:\t$message\n\n; $to=[EMAIL PROTECTED]; $subject=Website Feedback; $mailheaders=From: My website \n; $mailheaders.=Reply to: $sender_email\n\n; mail($to,$subject,$msg,$mailheaders); ?

Everytime I input a name, e-mail, and test blurb for the message box form and hit submit, I get: Warning: Failed to connect in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\send_simpleform.php in line 10. I have made the corrections in my php.ini file in the [mail function] to read as follows: SMTP=localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please advise if anyone knows what I am doing wrong.
