I've been serching the forum trying to find out what i need to do to be able to send email via PHP, with out any luck, it tried a few things but i'm not sure what im doing wrong.
Ok, so bassically what i'm trying to do is be able to send a email from a user registration/validation form on a website. i know that i can either use the PHP mail() funciton or PEAR which is bundled with PHP. I have one of 3 email accounts that i can use, my gmail account, my hotmail account, or my cogeco (isp) account. i'm up for suggestion if any of these are an issue. if tried to use esmtp and PEAR without much luck, but probly cause i'm doing something wrong.
If anyone has this working could you give me some steps to follow or some pointers. what i need to install / configure?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Maybe not the simplest way, but have you considered installing the esmtp packages ( http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0. … html#esmtp ) and use popen?

use mail()
it requires sendmail, which exists.
you'll need to configure some options in php.ini as defined by this: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php
i suggest using cogeco as your smtp server, because most IP's will allow relaying so long as it originates from an IP within their subnet.

ive tired editing the php.ini file sendmail_path = "/ffp/bin/sendmail" i've noticed that there is also a sendmail file in "/ffp/sbin/sendmail" not sure if it matters which one i use.
not really sure what i need to do from here, i saw on a site that there should be a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf but i dont see any. can i just create this file ?
