Problem Using Php's Mail() Function

[Guest datapusher]

When I signed up I noticed that you allow sendmail access.

 

I have a php contact form that I need as my contact source. After testing my complex script to no avail... I have written a short script to test mail() on your server.

 

<?php

 

// Your email address

$email = "myemailaddress";

 

// The subject

$subject = "Testing Mail Function";

 

// The message

$message = "This was a test of the server's mail() function.\n\nIf you are reading this... IT WORKED!!!";

 

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email");

 

echo "The email has been sent.";?>

 

Now that was a simple as I could think of to make the script so I could test basic functionality.

 

How do I go about making it work through your totalchoicehosting server?

 

Do I need to configure a special sendmail thingy. I am used to setting it up in my own severs in the php.ini file.

 

Thank you for your time.

TCH-Andy helped someone with a similar problem. Maybe taking a look at his post will help.

My mistake.

 

The email in my script was addressed to the account on the other computer.

 

Looks like you guys already did a good job of setting up the ini and sendmail.

 

Thanks for your fast response though.

 

One more question. Can I send to anyone? Or just to myself on the domain. i ask this because I would like to include a email that is sent out as a confirmation when they fill out my cointact page.

 

Thanks

You should be able to send to anyone as long as it is coded properly. Be careful not to leave the script open for spammers to attack.
