How to fix error with mail function

[deiv82]

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to send the informations from the web form of my site to my email.

The problem is that I always get this kind of error:

PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_f rom" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in D:\Home\wwwroot \form\invioform .php on line 12

Somebody can tell me what exactly means this error?

Thank you very much

You need to let the function know who the mail is coming from. Either by setting a From header or modifying your php.ini file.

Straight from the php.net website:

Note:

When sending mail, the mail must contain a From header. This can be set with the additional_head ers parameter, or a default can be set in php.ini.

Failing to do this will result in an error message similar to Warning: mail(): "sendmail_f rom" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing. The From header sets also Return-Path under Windows.

Have a read over this and it should explain everything. PHP Mail Function
