Hey

I'm developing a web site using php version 5.2.0. Users are offered to
register at the web site. To complete the registration the user will get an
email containg a link he need to use for to activate his account....

But sending email from my web site isn't working.
I get this error:
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 21

This is the code the errror message above is refering to:
mail($email, "test av website", "helloworld", "it_consultant1@hotmail.com");

my php.ini:
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = it_consultant1@hotmail.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default:
"sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

This is on a winXP computer, so I didn't set the sendmail_path (the php.ini
says sendmail_path is for unix only)

Any suggestions on what I should do to solve this?
