email questions number 2

[Fermious]

ok..quick question..to call up a mial function in PHP you use the mail() function..but why are you guys writing in sendmail instead of mail?  cuz i think that when u type in sendmail instead of mail, it makes it incompatible with some systems (mine for example)

i have ran into this problem often with many php scripts available on the net such at this once, phpnuke, postnuke, VBB, and many many more. and my php.ini is well configured, because when i run a test script, i get my email in my mailbox.

oh yeah..here is the code that i use to test my php's mailing capabilites:

<?php
mail("[email protected]", "the subject", $message,
"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."Reply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
?>

sendmail is just a function that we have in Subs.php.  If you look at it, it is calling mail().  The reason this was done is that Y1G had both sendmail and SMTP mail and both were called with this function.  In SE, we haven't added SMTP support yet.

So it shouldn't have any affect on your email since it is still calling the mail() function to send the mail.
