Hi! I have been asked to add some functionality to an existing web
site. The user would like to have a form that would email them the
results of the form. Really easy stuff to do, usually. I tried to
run the enhancements, and did not get the results I wanted, either
with writing the results to a log file on the server, nor in sending
the email.

In doing further research, I see that the site is being hosted on a
windows server, and that the php appears to have a bunch of functions
disabled, when I run phpinfo. One of the many that are disabled is
mail, so I'm kind of stuck. Is there any sort of workaround to this,
where the mail function is disabled, but I'd still be able to send
email from a form?

For reference, here are the functions that are disabled:

getmyinode, getopt, getrusage, extension_loaded, dl, mysql_pconnect,
crack_check, crack_closedict, crack_getlastmessage, crack_opendict,
fsockopen, pfsockopen, mysql_list_dbs, mysql_stat, ini_get, ini_get_all,
ini_alter, ini_set, get_current_user, get_defined_constants,
get_include_path, php_ini_scanned_files, php_uname, phpcredits,
restore_include_path, set_include_path, set_time_limit, version_compare,
zend_version, getmypid, getmyuid, getmygid, assert_options, assert, fopen,
fwrite, fread, file, fpassthru, file, mail, opendir, readdir, closedir

Thanks!
Scott
