Manuel, Really appreciate your help. I created a new empty php file and put your given code in it. Upon running the test.php in my browser, it prints exactly this in my browser: could not open file I have a PowerMac G5 Machine, with MacOS X. I have PHP 5 installed from entropy.ch and have the in-built Apache Web Server. Also, the MacOS X ships with Postfix Mail Server and I used the Postfix Enabler to configure it. So I use the Postfix Mail Server.
