To anybody still sane, even you Sineod.
I'm now trying to set up a password encrypter which'll E-mail you the activation password. I've done the login form so that when I press submit the password will get sent to the user's email address. The thing is - all that happens is this:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in c:program filesapache groupApachehtdocsregister.php on line 106
Your membership information has been mailed to your email address! Please check it and follow the directions!
I have played around with my php.ini to turn on sendmail etc and I've entered my correct smtp settings, oh and removed the ; aswell.
Plus it never sends anything to the email adresses I put in.
I can only think there might be something wrong with the code:
mail($email_address, $subject, $message,
"From: Broadbean Webmaster< postmaster@broadbean.com>n
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
echo 'Your membership information has been mailed to your email address!
Please check it and follow the directions!';
I'm sure that's all the relevant code. Somebody please help, I've got a tremendous headache.
Thank you.

Its telling you that you have one of two problems. First, either the mailing function "sendmail_from" is either not set up or not being used properly in php.ini or you haven't set a custom "From:" header.
Probably the easiest thing to check first is the header problem. Open up the file register.php and scroll down to line 106. If your script came with some docs that outlines the settings, find out if you need to change something on this line. If that is working then you can start to suspect the actual code itself.

Thanks Sinoed. You're a great help.
It turns out all I had to do was restart my computer. I think it's probably because I'd have to restart apache etc.
You were right though, all I had to do was fix my php.ini file anyway!
I'm about to post another topic now about sessions and headers. Sessions and headaches more like.

Hi guys, am having the same problem all am doing is testing the software am using namely "argosoft" where you can send email is working. But i also wants an email to be sent from a form but when am testing it with this code
[code]mail('me@him.com', 'Testing', 'If you have received this email, it means that the mail server is not hosted on..... Testing Please reply.','From: you@him.com'); [code]
Can you tell me how to fix this please.
Thanks,
