That usually happens whn you compile PHP with a non-root user as sendmail is not in the path of non-root users and the mail function becomes disabled. Try running configure again with the root user. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
