I've tried changing it as stated in other threads but I get no results....

I tried mailtest.php and got no errors... but the mail was never delivered.

can you help me out here please??

my phpinfo is here

thanks

You cannot email passwords to users. You can only trigger a password reset for them.

However what is the error that you are getting? We can't do anything without knowing whether it is a PHP error, MYSQL error or even a webserver error.

basically it's a arning, saying:

server error on / location/member.php line 158

I get many of these warnings when any type of emailing feature is used... from the control cp, if i click the "email password" next to the user, i get that warning, when someone new registers they get the warning and the paswords etc is not sent to confirm their registration.

this is what it says when i try to email all the administrators (and i get different email errors on different pages, including when people registerl):

the code on the email.php line 148 is:

mail($user[email],$subject,$sendmessage,"From: $from");

also...

users get this error when registering:

Warning: Server Error in E:\INetPub\WWWRoot\econet\upload\register.php on line 502


that line in register.php reads:

eval("\$subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_newuser",1,0)."\";");

Did you set up smtp server details in php.ini properly ?

[Steve Machol]

There's no sendmail path in php.ini. I'm pretty sure PHP mail won't work without one.

[Floris]

[mail function]
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [email protected] ;for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')

Ok, but this is the part that I was trying to refer to

[RONIN-1]

so do i have to put this:

--------------------------------------------------------

[mail function]
SMTP = localhost ;for win32 only
sendmail_from = [email protected] ;for win32 only
;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')

---------------------------------------------------------------

in my php.ini???

[Wayne Luke]

If you are using a Windows based server, yes. It would either be localhost or the iport of your SMTP server.

[RONIN-1]

ok, but I mean for the sendmail path???

cuase isn't sendmail -t -i for Apache??

[Steve Machol]

;sendmail_path = ;for unix only, may supply arguments as well (default is 'sendmail -t -i')

It appears I was wrong and a path is not needed for Windows servers. However I have seen this path in php info from other Windows servers before. You could always put it in and see if it makes a difference.

[RONIN-1]

ok, I'll try that.

thanks.
