Hi all, I used mail function to send a mail. the code:
[code=php]
<?php
$to = "shaiful@vvv.co m";
$subject = "New Online Prayer Request";
$message ="kk";
$txtReply = "ll";

$headers = "xxx";

$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if($sent)
{
echo "Message Sent Successfully";
} else {
echo "There Was an Error Sending Your Message";
}
?>
[/code]
The mail function doesnt work , its say : Failed to Receive in C:\apache\htdoc s\email\index.p hp on line 10

You need to set the SMTP server in the php.ini file. Do you have one. is this your local machine or hosting server?

I don't know which OS you have there, I think you know how to find the php.ini file and why don't you check the SMTP settings first. And Let me know how its looks like.

SMTP = mail.YOUR_ISP_N OT_MINE.com
smtp_port = 25
