problem when sending mail

[scott john]

Hello

Im trying to send a mail from a php-program. Im using a test program and the
code for this is as follows:

<?php
$from = me@myaddress.co m";
$subject = "Test";
$to = 'me2@myaddress. com;
$mailbody = 'mailbody';
mail($to,$subje ct,$message,$fr om);
?>

When I run the page/program I get the following error msg displayed:
"Warning: Failed to Connect in G:\home\server\ users\me.com\cg i-bin\send.php
on line 5"

The mail is not delivered. I also tried with <> before and after the value
in the $form. And, of course, the addresses are really ones and both are
presents on the server. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Additionally, the $from variable must be a valid header, so change it to:

$from = "From: me@myaddress.co m";

You may also need to check which version of PHP you're using, since this header may not be honoured
in your version.

Also, close your quotes for the "to" line:

$to = 'me2@myaddress. com';

not

$to = 'me2@myaddress. com;
