I think no one is answering because of the type of question being asked. mail() did not change between version 3 and version 4. Something in the config is wrong or something in the code is wrong. Maybe it is relying on a variable from a POST or a GET and the v4 install doesn't have GLOBALS on. I think refusing to listen to people saying that mail() is not the problem and just insisting that some send over some fully functioning tested code is turning everyone off. Here is an example of pulling an email address from a mysql database and sending them a message contained in a variable $message $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pw) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT $emailcol from $tablename WHERE $somecol = '$somecriteria'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $emailaddress = mysql_result($result,0) or die(mysql_error()); mail($emailaddress,$subject,$message,$additionalheaders); I do not see how this excercise in futility has helped anyone though, that is very basic and very generic code. > -----Original Message----- > From: JeRRy [mailto:jusa_98@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 6:59 PM > To: robleyd@ozemail.com.au > Cc: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: re: php3 vs ph4 mail() function (help) > > > (assuming > > you are using Win) or may have a different value for > your sendmail call > (for *nix) > I am using linux, not win.
