Hi,

When i tried to send mail from localhost, i received an error stating it:

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in

But it works in the server.

Pls help!

Regards,
geetha

Perhaps Reading The Fine Manual would be helpful? Pay particular attention to the additional_headers optional argument and its explanation.

Well just to lend a hand, here is the basic code for a mail

CODE

$to = "someone@someone.com";
$from = "Someone <someone@somewhere.com>";
$subject = "Subject";
$message = "Message";
$header = "From: ".$from;

if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$header)){
echo "Mail sent";
}else{
echo "Error sending mail";
}

}


Is there some setting I'm missing in the php setup? This script tells me that mail has been sent, but it never gets to the address I use (mine).

Well I think so, but from past experience, some hosts require the e-mail from to be of the domain used.

So if you had example.com

The e-mail must look something like this:

CODE

$to = "someone@yahoo.com";
$from = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Subject";
$message = "Message";
$header = "From: ".$from;

if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$header)){
echo "Mail sent";
}else{
echo "Error sending mail";
}


If you can edit php_config you probably can fix this issue.
