I'm using PHP 5 at home w/Apache & MySQL on a test system where I
write through a form to a database and also send an email to people on
a drop down list. Purpose for this is an electronic log at work where
an email goes out to let a person know an entry has been made with a
copy of the text on that email. Works fine on my test system at home
but not at work. I'm trying to remember which version of PHP I'm
using there and I'm thinking it's an early 4.x version (4.1 maybe).

A couple of questions come to mind. Assuming that it is in fact, the
early 4.x version that's responsible (because I'm not sure when the
mail() function came into being (which PHP version), would it be
possible to just copy a later folder version of PHP onto the version
at work? I suppose if I dropped version 5 folder on top of the
existing version 4 and it didn't work, I could just reverse that
process and put my earlier version of 4.x back to get back to where I
was... OR, is using something like phpmailer a better option?

thanks very much for any pointers,
