After re-reading the documentation about the mail function I realize that
the mail function don't need addional headers in order to work. I've read in
the documentation that mail() can accept only 3 parameters:
http://no.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
This is my code sending the mail:
mail($email, "test av website", "helloworld");
This is the error I get:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or
custom "From:" header missing in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\registration.php on
line 24
The problem must be related to the sendmail_from settings in php.ini:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = it_consultant1@hotmail.com
Any suggestions?
Jeff
