[Karuna]

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to write a simple mail script using PHP and apache
on Windows XP. Eventhough the script is saying that the mail is
successfully sent, I am unable get it in my mailbox(I have given my
mail address in $to). I am using the mail() function and I have made
the following changes in php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = aaa@Comcast.net

Can anybosy help me with this?

Interesting that you are not getting an error - try setting error
reporting to E_ALL at the head of your script and remove the @ at the
begining of the mail call if there is one.

^^-- This needs to be set to the
SMTP server of your ISP.

Don't forget to restart the webserver after you have changed the php.ini
file
