    Form - Email question for NEWB

    Hello,


    I have been trying several php form scripts that send an email to me
    once the user clicks submit. I have edited the code so that my correct
    email is in the php script. However, I never receive the email. Is it
    possibly because my server doesn't have SMTP forwarding?


    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks in advance.

      the mail function is uber easy to use in php.. that is.. however if its
      configured correctly in php, run a script with phpinfo(); and you can
      see the smtp settings etc in there, and of course you have to have a
      mail server running..

              yes that is correct..IF there is a mail daemon running on the local
              machine, run netstat and see if port 25 is open, what mail daemon are
              you running?? your php config is ok, your mail config probably isnt,
              are you actually wanting to run an email server on this box?? if not
              just point your php.ini file to use your isps smtp server.
