On a rare day for this cold and wet Spring, it's 15 degrees too hot for me.

How do I love TCH? Let me count the ways. uh... 15

So many creative ways to say 15. Not by me, of course.

Forty-five minus thirty equals fifteen (15)

15

2*2*2*2-1=15

quinze (french) fifteen

13+2= .... 15!

Fifteen

Fifteen!

15

Great Post, Jack. Very clear. Thanks.

I don't know ASP. That being said, I agree with HG: MS is evil. As a C++ programmer, PHP is like coming home.

For the compleat beginner, I found this page very clear and useful: thanks to beginnersphp for posting it. Sorry. I realize I should include the link itself in the text. http://www.beginnersphp.co.uk/phppocketref.htm

From the user comments on the PHP Manual page for mail(): Lots more lore on the page; here.

I have had some luck getting around the extra '@' by replacing it with '%40'. So your address string is something like name%40domain.com@ftp.sub.domain.com.

Hey Mitch, great news. Congratulations!

You add the user(s) and passwords with 'Manage MySQL' in the cPanel. Usernames are all in the form cPanelName_Username. Passwords, of course, are up to you.

I believe you need to create the database and add users with 'Manage MySQL', which you'll find right above phpMyAdmin in cPanel. Once those things are accomplished, you can use phpMyAdmin to create the tables and such.

You can specify the FROM:, and many other things in the headers. The user comments on this link have a lot of examples. I've found them useful.

Excellent. Thanks for staying with this question. I'll go check out TZO. Once again, KW to the rescue, and TCH Stones

'Kay. Thanks for the update. My problem is that the machine that wants to accept the mail is not hosting a domain. Does this mean that I'm just out of luck? What about the Edit an MX Entry in WHM? Same problem?

I'm looking for a way to have a Domain hosted here, but have the Mail delivered to the client's in-house server. In the depth of my ignorance, I thought this could be accomplished in CPanel by setting the MX record to point to the client's IP address. Clearly this is not the case, since all it does is cause all mail for the Domain to be bounced. I'm using an account I have here for testing, and the Domain is registered here also, through Wild West. I seem to remember reading somewhere that MX direction was done at the Registrar, but I can find nothing on the TCH Domain Registration site that deals with this. Help??? Anybody out there understand this area? Thanks Jim

Thanks again, Jim. You're always right there with a great tip.

Allan - thanks for the tips on migrating from Access to MySQL. I have written a couple of Web-based interfaces, so that shouldn't be a problem if I decide to go that route. I do appreciate your offer of help, and will try not to abuse it. Jim - thank you for the link to phphelp. Seems that it would be possible to let the client use Access as the interface to MySQL. The big question is Does TCH allow remote access to databases in this manner? Is there a GURU listening who has an answer to this?
