sendmail_form and php.ini
Can anyone help me please.

I am a complete beginner in PHP, and I am trying to send a simple e-mail. I use windows, and php 4.3.4. I have changed the php.ini file so the sendmail_from = my e-mail address. And yes, I did also change the smtp server to my IP address. Anyway, I saved the php.ini file, restarted Apache and checked out the phpinfo(); function to see if it had worked. The smtp has changed on this page, but not the sendmail_from. Is that not a little weird? Or am I being stupid? The error I get is: Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in c:program filesapache groupapachehtdocssend_simpleform.php on line 13

The code is
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1. <?
  2. $msg = "E-MAIL SENT FROM WWW SITE n";
  3. $msg .= "Sender's Name: t$_POST[sender_name] n";
  4. $msg .= "Sender's E-mail: t$_POST[sender_email] n";
  5. $msg .= "Message: t$_POST[message] n n";
  6.  
  7. $to = "trunte80@msn.com";
  8. $subject = "Web Site Feedback";
  9.  
  10. $mailheaders = "From: Trunte80@msn.com <> n";
  11. $mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[sender_email] n n";
  12.  
  13. mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
  14. ?>
  15.  
  16. <HTML>
  17. <HEAD>
  18. <TITLE><Simple Feedback Form Sent</TITLE>
  19. </HEAD>
  20. <BODY>
  21.  
  22. <H1>The following e-mail has been sent:</H1>
  23.  
  24. <P><strong>Your Name:</strong><br>
  25. <? echo "$_POST[sender_name]"; ?>
  26.  
  27. <P><strong>Your E-mail Address:</strong><br>
  28. <? echo "$_POST[sender_email]"; ?>
  29.  
  30. <P><strong>Message:</strong><br>
  31. <? echo "$_POST[message]"; ?>
  32.  
  33. </BODY> 


Can anybody help me please?
Thank you

RE: sendmail_form and php.ini
First instead of using your IP simply use localhost in the php.ini

Then try this instead
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. $mailheaders = "From:Trunte80@msn.com <Trunte80@msn.com> rn";
  3. $mailheaders .= "Reply-To:$_POST[sender_email]rn";

RE: sendmail_form and php.ini
Thanx, that did the trick, but I am still not receiving any e-mail on my address? Is that because I am now using localhost?

RE: sendmail_form and php.ini
Localhost just means that you are using the local mail process to send the mail.

Any Errors?

Do you have access to the mail logs? Look for errors.

No errors,
I don't think I have access to the mail-log files, but I might be wrong..

RE: sendmail_form and php.ini
you use msn
i assume they have the same "problem" that hotmail has

basically, you need to have some more headers, and need to make sure you use a CRLF (carriage return, and newline ... rn)
see this

RE: sendmail_form and php.ini
I have changed to localhost, and changed my e-mail address to a non-msn/hotmail address, but I am still not receiving any e-mails? Weird hu?
