My PHP.INI is sitting in the root directory. Search using "mail" and
hopefully it will be of some help. It might be prudent before you alter your
PHP.INI to make a backup.

Hi Paul,
Thanks. We are on PHP 4.x and Windows 2003 server and looking through
the directories through FTP, there doesn't appear to be an existing
PHP.INI file...the tech support is directing my client in what settings
to configure in PHP.INI (Port 25 and STMP=localhost and so on)...I'm
assuming for PHP 4.x I have to create this PHP.INI file?
Is it worth trying the below on a 4.x platform?

Hi Kristina
I was wrestling with this problem a few months ago, I remember having
to do
some fiddling with the PHP.INI. Anyway the coding below works for
WINDOWS
and PHP 5
<?php session_start; ob_start;
ini_set("SMTP", "smtp.isp.com");
ini_set("smtp_port", "25");
ini_set("sendmail_from", [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Enter your subject here";
$message = "YES IT WORKED @ LONG LAST
I can put anything I like here";
$from = "FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ";
mail("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$from");
echo "The email has been sent";
?>

php.ini is probably in the WINDOWS folders or the equivalent on your
server as is my.ini as I remember.
