Mail() path setting help

Mail on my server using mail() is not working. It simply does not send. I am running the server from my home computer, Windows XP Pro OS. I understand I need to set a path, and have read the link you posted, but where do I set this, and where do I find it? Do I point it towards an email program, such as Outlook? I am just not clear on what setting the path means. Thanks for your help.

RE: Mail() path setting help

Im not absolutely certain, but I dont think your going to have a sendmail path on Windows, it generally applies to Unix because of the sendmail binary, not any certain mail program like outlook or eudora, etc etc. To use the mail function in Windows, you are going to have to set up an smtp connection with your mail server and send it that way.

Thanks for your help. Any idea how I would do this? Is it a command in PHP?

You need to open your php.ini file and alter the line for SMTP. After you open the php.ini file look around line 592. Just alter for the correct paths or your ISP's smtp server.

Best!
