Pikachu2000 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Are you sure you're looking at the right .ini file? phpinfo will show you which .ini file is loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocpaul20 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sort out the mail problem first, then place it all together in the program. Write a Mickey-Mouse program with just the mail sending part and run that to debug it. Also something to bear in mind and not necessarily relevant in this case, but has caught me out in the past. Some hosting companies insist you send "From:" an email address at your own domain to avoid spammers using your smtp server. So if you are running a script at mydomain.com, then the from email must be me@mydomain.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
