Here is the error I get

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\sites\premium4\emory\webroot\sendmail.php on line 34

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\sites\premium4\emory\webroot\sendmail.php:34) in C:\sites\premium4\emory\webroot\sendmail.php on line 35

Your host is using a mailer script for this (not really needed), but you need to set your variables.

this link (http://kb.brinkster.com/Kb.asp?kb=107593) is the one your host wants you to look at/use.

"localhost" is NOT your mail server in your case it will be mail.eyes4u.ch

Also using multiple headers like you are can confuse the php page. Try to make the if/else statements either all the way at the top (first) or nested properly.

I changed the mail server to mail.eyes4u.ch but I still get this error

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\sites\premium4\emory\webroot\sendmail.php on line 34

You will have to change the information in your php.ini file to point to your mail server. Currently (according to the above error), it is set to localhost on port 25 (which is the SMTP port). If you don't run your server, then you may have to talk to your host about changing this.

I also believe there is a function (ini_set or something like that) that would allow you to change the ini settings from the script and just for that script. Will have to do some research on that though.

Anyways, hope this helps.

And as I said in my previous post,



If you don't run your server, then you may have to talk to your host about changing this.


Hope this helps.
