mail function is not sending mail in php

[dinesh1985singh]

Hi all,

I am using php mail function to send simple mail , but the mail function is giving me the error following error :

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_f rom" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in D:\Inetpub\head trixtraining\re gister.php on line 4234
mail not send

when I tried to see the mail setting by phpinfo() function I get the following values for different mail parameters:

1) sendmail_from no value no value
2) sendmail_path no value no value
3) SMTP localhost localhost

I am using the following code for that :

$headers = 'From: Headtrix Team <info@headtrixt raining.com>'." \n";
mail('dinesh198 5singh@gmail.co m','test subject','test message',$heade rs);

Could you please explain how to get rid of this error message.

Thanks

php can not send mail directly but it requires send mail library files and set the configuration into that file and than use mail() in PHP.

Thanks Dipen,

Its not my answer,we need to set these variables in php.ini or in a file on which we are going to using mail() function by ini_set() function like:

ini_set("SMTP", "mail.abc.com") ;
ini_set("smtp_p ort","25");
ini_set('sendma il_from', 'info@abc.com') ;

Just these few lines of code done my job.
Anyways I get to know new thing from the link you suggested.

Thanks
