Non-local SMTP mail function.

[huntedsnark]

I am working on a webpage that is on a different server than the email
server that the company wants me to use to send emails.

Is it possible to change the PHP.ini file to use this non-local SMTP
server, or is it not that simple?

You can also do that by PHP script no need to do that in PHP.ini
file...

Here is the fuction.... ini_set("SMTP", "http://www.example.com ");

if he has site non localhost (provider) then usualy (only if he is the
owner) he won't access to php.ini file so the only solution is ini_set :) i
didn't want to give him full soulution - i wanted to show him the path and
he should to find the way to do it

This is possible only if you are running PHP on Windows:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php#ini.smtp

On Unix, PHP does not normally use SMTP; it communicates
with a mail transfer agent (MTA) directly; dealing with SMTP is
left to the MTA.

This said, you can still have a PHP script send e-mail via
SMTP (local or otherwise), if you use phpMailer:
